Quoting: Fignn
They need young guys. Brown could be traded elsewhere I was trying more to free up cap space by adding him in the deal.
Who needs young guys? The team with Troy Terry, Sam Steel, Isac Lundestrom, Daniel Sprong, Maxime Comtois, Antoine Morand, Jack Kopacka, Kalle Kossila, Benoit-Olivier Groulx, Kiefer Sherwood, Jacob Larsson, Josh Mahura, and a top 4 D core that are all locked up long term and under 27 years of age (Manson and Fowler are 27, everyone else is younger).
Heck, even Rakell, Kase and Gibson are 25 or under.
Getzy, Perry, Brian Gibbons and Kesler are the only only guys up front over 30 (Add Eaves who is 34, but who knows if he ever ends up off the LTIR).
I know that the media's narrative right now is that the Ducks are too old, but the future looks pretty solid, especially if the team is can stay healthy for any sustained length of time.
