Giroux and Pavelski will have almost identical TDL value. That Pavs trade is definitely not enough
Agreed, and to be fair, I don't think either would be a particularly intelligent idea for the Ducks right now. They'd absolutely raise the ceiling, but going after a couple of rentals, when you're currently in a playoff position by 3 points, with the team who is chasing you having 6 games in hand, would be a bad, bad, bad move for a rebuilding club.
As a Ducks fan, I love the idea of us being competitive, but realistically, even getting to the playoffs are a bit of a stretch. Need to keep building the farm, and set the team up for next year. Lots of cap space going into the offseason, and IMO, that's the time to strike on higher end players.
It's been fun, and if Dallas actually wanted to do that deal (they don't), I'd do it, but shaving off the top of the farm at this point isn't a good idea.
