I don't get it.. Rakell and Lindholm both fill needs for the Ducks, why trade them for this? Little is in his prime, yet scored less than Raks who is sill young and improving (not to mention Raks will not cost $4.7m). And then Lindholm - likely the Duck's #1 Dman for the next decade - is going for a 4th liner, prospect, and pick. The Ducks have an aging core and are trying to win now. How does this achieve that at all?
The D core is so thinned that you have Montour and Theo playing together, who - despite great potential - have only 20 games NHL experience between them, and both of whom are caught in the offensive zone more than their own.
