Trades

ANA

2022 5th round pick (ARI)

Additional Details:

First order of business is taking Grant away from Eakins so he can stop playing him in the top 6

We need to take as many possible bad decisions out of Eakins hands as possible

Any team that needs a 4th line boost for a low pick will do

ARI

Grant, Derek

ANA

Lucic, Milan
2023 1st round pick (CGY)

CGY

Mahura, Josh

Additional Details:

This was a trade discussed with a Flames fan, not sure if Lucic has ANA on his 8 team no-trade list or not but for the sake of this ACGM lets say he waives

ANA

Bear, Ethan [RFA Rights]

CAR

2023 3rd round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

Seems like Bear may be non-qualified with CAR allowing him to discuss contracts with other teams, worth a shot for the RD needy Ducks

ANA

Puljujärvi, Jesse [RFA Rights]

EDM

Comtois, Maxime
Shattenkirk, Kevin ($1,950,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Not sure how this one will go over, both with Oiler fans and my fellow Ducks fans, dont flame me too hard for this one, its more of a value finding mission

ANA

EDM

Pool party signs a one year prove it deal so he is still an RFA and the Ducks can sign him to a longer term contract after seeing how he performs in ANA

Ideas are all positive and well within the realm of reason given the premises.

Thoughts on the Comtois-JP trade? value wise

I like it overall but I think I would be a little uneasy signing Nichushkin to a big deal like that since he only has the 1 year of production

I’d be happy with the Lucic deal if we had to buy him out even

Lastly and as always, I don’t want to deal Comtois for really anything! Love the guy and want to see him with Z and Troy Terry

Every game I watch him play I want us to sign him more and more, to me Nichushkin is the perfect compliment to Z and Terry

I dont see the need in buying him out unless thats the condition of him waving, I think he still has a place in SoCal from his Kings days so it might be enticing to him. Could provide that toughness we will be addressing this offseason

Im against moving Comtois too, but with our RW need and Pool Party being potentially available I would make a swap based around those two
