Thread: 10 center targets ranked by likelihood
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>Because we have Lukas Dostal for free..? He’s one of the best up and coming goalies in the league and just complete tore it up the Worlds. Swayman will cost an extremely high price and an extremely high contract extension. Meanwhile, Dostal won’t need a big pay day for a few more years.

It’s much more valuable for the Ducks to keep their path going with Dostal than completely throw off the process by trading for Swayman.</div></div>

His stat line and profile don’t say he’s what you say he is. That’s one of the frustrating aspects with young teams. A reasonable percentage of the high profile prospects are simply not good at the NHL level. It could be he’s not ready and he’ll just take time. The assumption that all young players hit is actually one of the bigger fallacies around

Thread: 10 center targets ranked by likelihood
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>knowerofpuck</b></div><div>Don't worry, your days of watching the draft lottery and having plenty of free time in May are coming quite soon.</div></div>

We have a 28 year old franchise player on offense, a 26 year old franchise player on defense, and a 26 year old goaltender that just put up an incredible run in the playoffs (he’s still 3 goals up on GsaX for the playoffs with 2nd and 3rd playing).

We have the best record over the past two years. I love the ducks young talent, but don’t you have the worst record over the past two years? I get being excited about your young talent, but there is no reason to make an untrue statement. We have several players where Zegras isn’t even in the same stratosphere in terms of quality of player. Please don’t pretend like he is better than he is,

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dons_weeney</b></div><div>Necas and Lindholm probably come in at 1mil higher each, Swayman contract looks good, wouldn't be shocked if it was a little lower actually. Bussi is probably league min since he's never played a game.

Since they need two more depth pieces to complete the roster, it's probably Bertuzzi that doesn't get signed (he probably gets a little more in FA anyways so fair enough) and that money can go to depth players like an extra forward and a 7th d for league min.

As far as shuffling the roster goes, I'd move Zacha to 2lw, then let coyle and Poitras battle for 2c.

I love the idea of bringing in both Necas and Lindholm, we're on the same page there. Top 6 looks way better now.</div></div>
