TDL 2023

Ducks decline, Henrique is scoring at the same pace 5v5 as Horvat over the past 3 years

He can play anywhere up and down the lineup at C and LW, PK, PP, leadership, proven winner at multiple levels (OHL, Mem Cup, WJC Silver, WHC Gold), stanley cup final experience.

Henrique without half a season of retention is the definition of a player that gets a 1st at the deadline, now add on a year and a half retention and Kulikov to that.

Kylington doesnt have any value, who knows when hes gonna play again. Ruzicka is a nice piece that might interest Verbeek but he isnt a main piece for Rico

Rico for the 2023 1st and Ruzicka gets it done, then a 2nd or 3rd (depending on demand) for Kulikov. And those prices might go up if Verbeek wants to put an in-division tax on top

Good Trade for ANA, Terrible Trade for the Flames

I'm all over Ruzicka + a 2nd and 3rd, Calgary should be holding onto that 2023 1st round pick for dear life though at this point. Henrique could be a perfect acquisition for a ton of teams out there, similar to the Coleman/Goodrow trades that Tampa made before their cup. Kulikov was a bit of a luxury add in this deal, to get Henrique I would take him out and look at other 3rd pairing options if need be.

Kylington was more or less to make the cap work next season, value is low but could be a good low cost acquisition for a team out there if he plays next season, waaaayyy too many unknowns to move at the deadline I think. Just spitballing here!

Anaheim is trading Henrique and Kulikov for two players at positions we are not in need. Its a bad deal for both sides

I don't mind Henrique and I'm happy he's playing good again, but he's not exactly the most consistent or reliable player; he hasn't completed a full season in 2018-19. Dube with his Speed and Forechecking are the better fit with Lindholm & Toffoli. Dube's on fire on this line with 5G + 5A = 10PTS in his last 10GP and 3G + 4A = 7PTS in his last 5GP and has been setting up Toffoli who has increased his Goal Scoring as a result. Ruzicka was putting up 0.80PPG when he was playing with Lindholm & Toffoli too, so to move either Dube or Ruzicka would just be plain dumb. They'll both produce more than Henrique and will continue to improve, whereas the same can't be said for Henrique who's getting up there in age

Sorry, but Kulikov is pure garbage. He's on his 6th Team and was given to ANA for free for a reason. There's better and much cheaper options out there than Kulikov. Shattenkirk I'd be interested in though
