Ducks 2016

Too much salary........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nope Thompson is an insured contract so no cap relief but they don't actually pay it. The actually money is just under 70mil actually.

If Theodore is the price to offload Stoner, believe me, you'll have better offers than a 3rd rounder. Stoner isn't as bad as Bickell was with Chicago. He does have value still its just that he's overpaid. That's all. Sweetening the deal to get someone to bite should be a little salary retained and a draft pick/Prospect (Not Theodore).

I think the most obvious choices here are Fowler and Despres. Two solid guys that can be traded and replaced easily with the plethora of depth this team has on D.

You are better off just sending Fowler for a 3rd than trying to move Stoner with Theodore. Theodore may be the best defensmen not named Lindholm the Ducks currently control. To throw him away just to move Stoner is ludicrous. If Murray did that, I can guarantee the Samuelis would fire him on the spot.

He isn't even making the team a younger LHD is now ahead of him in Larsson. As a ducks fan it's goes... Lindholm, vatanan, Larsson, Montour/Theodore/manson is pretty close. Having watched them all play a lot expect Larsson.
