What I would do

Created by: Jah1722
Team: 2021-22 Anaheim Ducks
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 7, 2021
Published: Dec. 8, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If still in a playoff spot at the TDL upgrade Shattenkirk at 3D for relatively cheap, just losing Larsson. Keep the 3 UFAs and ride it out by getting healthy and scratching the black holes in Grant and Deslauriers.

I don’t think Lindholm will be traded anyways as I expect the ducks to re-sign him so the net loss would be a 1st from a Rakell trade and a 2nd and 3rd from a Manson trade. And while those would be nice, a playoff series I think would do a lot for young group. It does mean the Ducks will have to be smart with contracts to be able to add an impact UFA within a couple seasons to help get to cup contention tho.

@mokumboi why are you such a tool in every thread? It's not that serious.

I like the long-range plan. The problem with the Lindholm or Manson trades at the deadline we see so often on CapFriendly is What happens when the other walks as a free agent? Then we're going to be rebuilding half our defense just as we're becoming competitive.

I'd keep Shattenkirk as our "secret weapon" for shootouts in the last quarter of the season. Just my personal preference.

Agreed. Absolutely no reason to trade ShatDaddy. If we're on the hunt for a dman, I'd rather just upgrade Benoit.

What precisely the **** are you babbling about? How could I be any more polite with my response to an AGM? And it's not even your AGM, so who the hell appointed you schoolmarm?

FFS already with this precious dandelion routine over my replies.

Shattenkirk is the weak link on defense. Not Benoit or even Mahura.

He’s about average in the shootout. Silfverberg is the better option with a similar shootout style, being shooters and not deking.

Yes. And if he played on another team where his numbers were actually good he’d be worth more. Also I basically just turned Shattenkirk and Larsson into Lyubushkin and a 4th.

Bortuzzo plays like 14 min a night. He was added to make cap work. Basically a 3rd for Shattenkirk.

First of all, the Blues aren't close to having cap for this. So that kills it right away. Secondly, Bortuzzo has more value to this Blues team than Shattenkirk would. He serves a purpose (physical play, blocking shots, penalty killing), and if he goes a similar type player would likely need to come in. Shattenkirk is not that player, and the Blues aren't eager to throw around draft picks right now anyway.

I respectfully disagree, which actually makes me a bit happy because typically, as ducks fans, we’re all on the same page.

To me, if you’re thinking playoffs, sure, you add a Bortuzzo type guy, but you don’t subtract on the other end.

Is Shatty great defensively? Not really…but he’s also providing an offensive spark from the back end that we haven’t *consistently* seen in a while. He’s worth his contract, and is a reasonably valuable piece of this team, especially considering he’s one of two viable options on the right side that has a contract for next year.

Benoit and Mahura, while I like both, are replaceable pieces.

Shattenkirk is bad. His point total hides that. Half of his points are on the PP where a fwd could easily replace him. At 5v5 he’s awful. His corsi is 43.4%. He’s been on the ice for more goals against than goals for. The eye test, he has some awful pinches and defends air in front of the net. He’s really not a viable option on a competitive team and just because he’s right handed shouldn’t determine that.

There’s 3 players the ducks have that if weren’t in the lineup would be additions by subtraction, Grant, Deslauriers and Shattenkirk.

The ducks need a 3rd pair and 4th line that don’t get caved in at 5v5. The 3 players mentioned above are reasons that happens.
