Quoting: PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood
I agree that the package above isn't all that great. I just think that the important thing for the Ducks is getting younger, faster and more talented. I also think they need to be one of the worst teams in the league for the next 2-4 seasons. Bottom out completely get a couple of top 3 picks and have your star core moving forward. None of the prospects you have are elite players. Many look like they'll be great pieces but you just don't have any star franchise centres coming down the line. Bottom out, lose a lot, trade everything that isn't going to be a great piece in 2-4 years and regroup. Keeping guys because you want to see a team overpay is wasteful.
I agree that keeping assets for the sake of waiting for an overpay is a mistake. I hold Manson till the draft probably and take the best offer you get by then, maybe even wait until a few weeks into FA and see if a team missed on a FA and need a RD then.
I disagree with not having Elite prospects I think Zegras will be a true #1C. This season we should be adding a top 5 prospect in a great draft. We have cap space and can turn this around closer to 2 years than 4
Zegras, Steel, 2020 1st rounder, Comtois, Lindholm, Gibson, Rakell on top of guys like Kase, Jones, Terry, Lundestrom, Mahura, Guhle, Larsson the ducks are well on the way to having a solid roster for years to come
