Description

Last summer, the Kings took some big strides to start putting the "build" in their rebuild. They addressed two major holes in their forward lineup by signing a top 6 forward with playoff experience in free agency (Danault/Burakovsky) and trading some picks for a top 9 forward under team control for 3 seasons (Arvidsson/Yamamoto). They also brought in a towering defenseman (Edler/Gudbranson) to stabilize the young and developing d-core.

I used this as a template for what the Ducks could do this offseason to accelerate their rebuild.

Arvidsson was supposed to be a top 6 guy...they were after 2 and got him.

Maybe the Oilers would give Puljujarvi instead in a trade like that assuming they are doing this trade to retain Kane

I absolutely think that it's the right time to start adding some guys with term, but that Bura contract scares the poop out of me. I don't think I'm moving a 2nd and 3rd for Yams+Kassian though. Basically just allowing Edmonton to upgrade their lineup (or keep Kane), by paying for Kassian.

Noted. I'm sure if this were to happen, Yamamoto would find himself in the top 6 way more often than not. I just think that line would be fun to watch.

I wouldn't mind Puljujarvi either, I've just seen a ton of trades for him on here and wanted to try something different. Plus it seems Verbeek wants to play a faster, more dynamic brand of hockey.

I just figured that's what it would take to get a guy like Bura in Anaheim with the state of their rebuild and their state tax situation.

I probably overpaid, but it's a trade to a division rival so I did what it would likely take to get the guy (Yamo).
