Of any team the Av’s may not not need to trade for years. The talent & prospects & cap space are easily the best in the NHL.

Going to be many years of fun ahead

And this is mostly because the Duchene trade. They gained Byram and Girard in that trade, and also some other prospects.

They got really lucky.

I think Ducks would bite on that trade.

But I also agree that the Aves don’t need to move much.

I mean, I'd have to think hard about it, but I don't think I'd accept.

That 1st is going to be very late. Bowers projects as a 3rd liner, and that's basically what Donskoi is (though he's excellent both ways). Both are going to be reasonably good.

My issue is that, if healthy, Rakell would absolutely rake with good line mates, and which would leave the Ducks looking like a bunch of dummies. If I'm trading Rakell, I need a very good RD prospect coming back.

You can get your RHD prospects in the draft. If you're lucky Drysdale falls to 6, and then you can take a RHD with the 2020 COL 1st in this trade (or the Boston 1st), either Barron, Grans, or Niemela.

This trade would have to be a draft day trade unless the pick changes to a 2021 COL 1st (which would very much be preferable.

I'm not a fan of trading Zadorov to Winnipeg, as I think he'd haunt us for years with big hits and great 1v1 transition defense against our top line. If Winnipeg want him they'll have to overpay, because this is the sort of offer we'd get from teams in the east (eg. NJ).

COL give up too much in that deal.
Donskoi comes with one additional year of term at a similar cap hit to Rakell.
He may score 10 less points than Rakell, but he also gets less minutes than Rakell.
Yes Rakell is a better player, but for that additional 10 points difference, he isnt worth both a 1st rd pk AND a high end prospect

It's ALL because of the Duchene trade. They got lucky because of how quickly Ottawa became a dumpster fire, but you can't count out Sakic there. The man went from the laughing stock of the league to one of the most respected in a single trade.

Scouting Girard over Fabbro wasn't luck that was just good management for the Avs, but the picks falling in their place was luck.
Dont sleep on Justus Annunen avs goalie of the future who came out of that trade tree. They could have 4 solid NHLers in Byram, Girard, Bowers and Annunen (Zhuravlyov the Russian Dman who is also part of that trade tree is super interesting)

Sakic got banned for holding out till he got the deal he wanted, and he got it

I don't really see Bowers as a high end prospect, but I could be wrong.

Bowers hasnt blown my socks off yet, but i say hes a high end prospect because:
A) first rd pk and was on the radar of first round quality much of his draft year
B) already has 3 years development under his belt (two years NCAA and one year in AHL)
C) NHL ready next season
D) Centreman
E) comes with 2 years of contract control

Those points are all fair. I just don't see where he fits in when the Ducks will want to give ice time to Steel, Zegras and Lundestrom next year, and already have Getzy and Henrique. There's also a *small* chance that the Ducks continue to try Comtois at center (I don't think this happens).

Not sure if its a perfect fit, but the trade value is there.
I cant pretend to know all the inner workings of the ANA prospect pool, but Donskoi fills the roster spot immediately and ANA gets a first and good prospect.
Bowers isnt better than Zegras, but would be close in talent to Comtois. ANA shows Rowney as 4C (which cant be much better or worse than playing Comtois or Bowers in that spot)

I just think if they're moving Rakell, they can get something that fills holes a bit better/sooner. They've already got the Boston 1st that they can use to get Barron, Niemela or Grans, and have a bevy of young forwards that would benefit from additional ice time. I don't know, I just don't see this trade working for the Ducks.

Edit: And that's not to say that the Avs aren't giving up enough value, it's just not what the Ducks need.
