I’m sorry but this is so clearly not made by a ducks fan:
- Silf has zero value, even retained
- Vatrano goes nowhere unless an offer blows us away. He’s our leading scorer, huge locker room presence, on an amazing contract, and has another year left. We’ll sell next TDL retained for what will still be great value. If someone wants him now it’ll take a big time offer. This isn’t it at all.
- That return for Z is a joke. Elite blue chip top 6 wing or #1RD prospect or bust. Verbeek isn’t trying to extend this rebuild endlessly, this return addresses no ANA needs. Z fills a need, and we love him here
- Verbeek is probably the least likely GM in the NHL to entertain locker room cancer Kuznetsov, and ANA’s C depth also has no space for him
- The EDM trade is somehow the closest to something ANA could consider, but that’s saying something. It’s good value, but anything with Campbell in it is pretty doubtful to be realistic
