This is a troll-level effort. Let's forget about minor items like shortchanging a first-round draft pick on his ELC or forgetting to sign three of our RFAs (including our projected #3C) or almost getting all the ones you did sign wrong on their Qualifying Offers. The Zegras trade is just a joke; we wouldn't give Chicago Alex Killorn for that. (By the way, there's no assurance that the Chicago second will be "basically a late first in terms of value" because it's the 2025 pick.) The statement that Slaggert "fits the Ducks style more than Zegras" is utterly fatuous; Zegras led the team in scoring last season (which indicates a pretty nice fit) and Slaggert has yet to play a minute of professional hockey, so we have absolutely no reason to believe that he fits ANY particular team's style of play.
No need to sign a third goalie and preliminary indications are that Tristan Luneau is going to be given a strong opportunity to earn a spot on the roster next season, so Hakanpaa, who did not leave Anaheim on good terms, is unnecessary.
Tyler Toffoli will find a team to play in their top 6.
