The Ducks situation is really touchy for me right now. They clearly are a competitive team that will go into the playoff if nothing to dramatic happens.

However, half the D will be gone at the end of the year and some key offensive guys too. At TDL, are you selling rentals or going all in Playoff style?

Good puzzle for a GM.

Ducks are gonna have to retain on rake lol there’s no way Tampa can afford him at the moment, may even need a 3rd party. But what Tampa’s giving up is definitely enough to get 50% retained

I think they’d retain for sure. Just forgot to add it

I'm not a big fan of expending significant assets to acquire Jakob Chychrun if we're going to be able to re-sign Lindholm. That being said, if we can't re-sign Hampus, then I would trade him for a first plus at the deadline and then get Chychrun. But I think we'd have to add either Max Jones or Sam Steel to get him.

That's really bad for TB they haven't had Kucherov for all but 3 games Point has missed 12 Bogosian missed 12
Cernak has missed 13
Yet they are still on pace for 117 points stop

Somebody is going to overpay for Chychrun based on his unsustainable shooting luck last year. I like the player and the contract, but he's not worth what most people here seem to think he is.

If Arizona moves him.

Id rather have Manson than Rakell, if he extends for cheap id give up Foote and a 1st
