Description
Shoutout to Dubaspersonal and lilfimpen for original Hertl idea and thoughts on Hertl fitting in w/ Canes.

This doesn't necessarily assume an extension but Canes would work on that as soon as trade was completed. I see it as an all-in approach for next year with leverage / insurance for long-term negotiations with Troch to make sure we keep at least one of the 2.

Hertl could slot in at LW on second line, which if he could that would be a really fun line to watch. Could also see them splitting C duties. Another option if Hertl isn't comfortable at LW would be putting him at RW with Aho and Svech line. At the end of the day, C isn't a weakness before this trade but it never hurts to add a legitimate top 6 center to be more flexible situationally (which RBA loves to do) and have injury insurance if somebody goes down (which realistically will happen at some point in season and playoffs). Could also see this happening around the TDL.

Added Rakell to really strengthen that top 9 going into next season. He's purely a rental and I think value is fair to a still rebuilding Ducks team. We have the cap space assuming Gardiner does end up having the back surgery which is being recommended by team doctors as of now.

This team would be loaded for this upcoming season, but will be interesting to see how this plays out longer-term. Doing a part 2 (might do a couple of scenarios) to see how the team could look with a Hertl extension and what to do with other players who are due new deals.

There are much cheaper options to play LW. If you are going to spend all that to get Hertl, why not play him in the premium position you paid for?

Hertl is a much better pivot than Trochek..put vinny on the wing and play Hertl where he is best.

Fair. Could shift Troch over too. End of the day he’s another impact player for top 6 and hope to keep him going forward. Gives the team some leverage and insurance for who to extend.

Credit goes to Dubaspersonal. He had something similar on another post. I try to take my bias glasses off when trading for other teams top players and I think this is fair bc it hurts to send those pieces haha
