Description

Gotta think one of Zellweger, Minty or LaCombe make the team.

Boeser comes a little cheaper with Myers attached.

If the Ducks get Bedard, he plays with McT and the top 6 looks pretty good on paper. If they get Fantilli he plays 3C with Strome and Vatrano. If it’s anyone else they’re less likely to get a full time NHL spot next season with all of the bodies the ducks have.

*Line up is with Fantilli because he’s more likely than Bedard

I like Lundestrom so I'd look at a deal like this. To be honest it would be absolutely perfect if it was Garland + Myers instead. I'd do that without even taking a pick back.

Garland + Myers for Lundestrom.

I think I might do that. The ducks really need a right handed winger.

Severson would be a poor partner for Zellerger, that pairing would get caved in. I don't think Fowler Drysdale works either.

Fantilli can play LW as well as C, he would likely take 2LW over Comtois. Strome shouldn't be on the third line, he is poor defensively, he's meant for 2nd line work. Really disagree on getting rid of Lundestrom, but you know that already.

Canucks take this in a heart beat, they have been trying to move cap for over a year. If they can move over 12M without any retention in a single trade plus add a pick and young center, absolutely.

I like it. We need a 3C you guys need a 2RW and cap. Think Boes has a real shot of a rebound with the high utilization and the skilled C core in ANA. Mutually beneficial for sure.
