Description

Draft - With the 2nd Overall pick, I think the Ducks should take Adam Fantilli for obvious reasons. I don't know if he starts in the NHL next year because I don't anticipate Anaheim trying to win next year but he has the skill to do so.

John Gibson to Pittsburgh - With Jarry likely walking in FA, Pittsburgh needs a goalie and I think John Gibson is the right fit. We know he has requested a trade out of Anaheim so they've lost most of their leverage, however, Anaheim gets some young players and picks. They also take Maxime Comtois as it seems the Ducks will move on from this summer.

Anaheim will likely be one of the teams at the bottom next year to nobody's surprise. They have assets like Silfverberg and Henrique that could go at the deadline and could possibly set themselves to be competitive in 2024/25.

I will be doing predictions for every team before July 1st, and this same trade with Pittsburgh will be used there.

Back in April, Hallander signed a four-season contract with his home club in Sweden.

I can see us trading Comtois for Smith.

I can't see Pittsburgh paying $25.6 million for four seasons of goaltending from a veteran worth only a future second, inasmuch as the Penguins could probably get Lukas Dostal or Daniel Vladar for that same second and save themselves $22 million or so.

Finally a trade that shows Gibsons actual calue. However i doubt Ducks will settle for just that even though it's a more than fair offer
