1. Kesler is on the LTIR for at least this entire season, and may never play hockey again.
2. Currently our lines are Rakell-Henrique-Silfverberg, Ritchie/Shore-Getzlaf-Kase, Jones/Ritchie-Steel-Terry, and Shore/DesLauriers-Grant-Rowney. The fourth line has exceeded all hopes and expectations, so I wouldn't be breaking it up to make any minor-benefit trades like those suggested here.
3. Lindholm plays with Manson when they both get off the IR.
4. Anaheim needs RD desperately and has a surplus of bottom-six forwards, an extra young LD and several Center prospects that would/might be useful in trades. I doubt that anyone is interested in our bottom-pairing defensemen.
