Thread: Kraken w Trades and Projections
I really, really hope Anaheim doesn't let Fleury go. I'm not saying he's great or anything, but IMO, there are two Ducks scenarios that are much more beneficial to Anaheim:

-7-3-1: Rakell/Steel/Terry/Lundestrom/Jones/Heinen/Milano+Hampus/Fowler/Fleury+Gibby

Or, the one that I think is a more solid move...

-4-4-1: Rakell/Steel/Terry/Lundestrom+Hampus/Manson/Fowler/Fleury+Gibby.

End of the day, both expose larger contracts like Rico, Silf and Shatty, that don't likely provide much in the way of a trade return. Either way, Anaheim is likely to lose a decent-enough player, but where they're at right now it seems like clearling some more payroll, and then weaponizing that space seems like a smarter idea than letting a young, cost-controlled player who deserves a shot to play some top 4 minutes.

That's where I'm at. Considering the mediocre return on Arvidsson, I find it hard to imagine that the team will move someone like Rakell or Manson at this point since it really doesn't seem worth it. Might be able to do better at the deadline if someone is desperate. If not, there's no reason as to why they shouldn't just try to extend them.

Wow. That was a lot wordier than I figured it'd be considering the just of it was "Protect Fleury!" :tearsofjoy

Cheers!
