He's already a good 200' player who is getting better each season, and is one of the key guys they're building around. He has the potential to be one of the best two way player in the league. He's not the flashy McDavidesque player you build a team around, but he's an important piece in Anaheim.

I just don't think the difference between Celebrini and Lindstrom is McTavish. I'd give up Celebrini for those 2 every time imo.

Worth the ask, and I'd definitely want to keep the asking price high for 1OA, but I still don't see ANA doing it. Could be wrong though so who knows, our ANA cohorts should be able to tell more once they wake up lol

I would rather have Celebrini. His chemistry with Hutson is just too good to pass on

Maybe not for your 1st, if it it number 1 like here but I don’t think we’d be interested if we had to add our 1st

I’m not saying that

I’m saying I don’t think we have a reason to trade Mason unless it is for that number one pick — 1 for 1

Nope, saying that’s what I think it would take for us to consider trading him

He literally just turned 21, looks like a true top 6 center for us for the next 10+ years — you don’t just keep a revolving door going imo

I thought the wildest take was the NHL allowing someone other than the Blackhawks to draft 1st overall. scream

I think Celebrini has Franchise potential, and I wouldn't trade him, but this would move the needle

To build off what my fellow Ducks fan is saying. If you asked for McTavish and like a mid or late 2nd, I think Verbeek would then consider this (not necessarily say yes, but think on it). But with our ~3OA it’s a clear no

I like John Tavares as a comp (Don't let carrier high 88 pts fool you, he was 2nd in points one season). Maybe even if we push it we could say a smaller-sized Malkin

You get the 1st overall, you draft the first overall.
