How They Should Lineup

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 24, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The Ducks aren't a good team by any means, but if they played this lineup they'd at the very least be watchable and would be capable of rolling four lines that are at the very least capable of keeping pace with most teams.

They at the very least have two exciting lines in their 1st and 2nd line. Playing Zegras with Henrique and Silfverberg gives him two players who can capitalize on his passes.

The 3rd line has three players who are capable of driving play and have defensive chops. The 4th line becomes a slot machine (sub Milano in for Backes when healthy) which is better than the dead in the water 4th line they've utilized with Grant, Des and Rowney.

DeAngelo is a very good dman, however, NYR mishandling of his off-ice persona has made him a depreciable asset which may help the Ducks get rid of Grant, who doesn't have a hamstringing contract, but he's just not good and yet for some reason teams still want him. DeAngelo becomes expansion bait to keep SEA from taking Mahura.

Manson is still a very good RHD but the Ducks will likely lose him in the expansion and the Ducks aren't good enough to try to keep him.

Larsson for Honka is just a changing of scenery trade for both teams.

Lou gave up a 2nd for Greene don't tell me he wouldn't give a 7th for Des.

Rowney is in the last year of his contract so he becomes a body in the bottom-six for WSH.
