If the Ducks wouldnt give up Heinen for Virtanen they definitely arent giving Rakell up for him to be the main piece.

Rikola holds essentially 0 value to ANA we already have about 6 better LHD than him

And a prospect around the level of Axel Andersson doesnt really move the needle at all

Ducks get nothing out of the trades. Neither does Arizona

Ducks decline extremely quickly. You're greatly overvaluing Riikola.

After a very quick google search both prospects to ANA have little to no value at all compared to Rakell.

Rakell starts with a first + prospect - or a high value prospect + later pick

Agreed. I'd even be willing to retain to increase the value coming back.
