You guys gotta stop with the Joel-Armia-in-Trevor-Zegras-trades idiocies. The Ducks are already taking a serious chance risking that the kid selected with the first-round draft pick eventually turns out to be close to Z in performance; thinking that we'll also take a cap dump is just dim-witted. Obviously, you value Z highly since you have him as your future #2C; why do you think that package gets you a top-6 center? Or even a top-6 winger like Cole Caufield?

replace Armia with Ylonen

We'll replace Armia/Ylonen with Beck, Mesar or Roy.

Ylonen is basically a disappointment -- 18 months older than Zegras, drafted the year before, fewer than half the games or one-fifth the points, and doesn't seem to be getting much better.

A Zegras trade is an all around awful idea for this team and where it is right now.
