A player like Landeskog would be better for Anaheim and easier to get. I think you've overvalued Duchene in this trade, Sakic is asking for a top 4 D, prospect, and a 1st rounder for Duchene, but he's unlikely to get that. Sakic probably just said to get the ball rolling at a high price. Anaheim doesn't need another center they need a LW, Landeskog fits the active grinding style the Ducks play and has a better contract. I don't think you'll need much more than Vatanen to get Landeskog, especially since the Larsson-Hall and Jones-Johanson trades have bloated top 4 D's trade value.
