Thread: Filling Holes (no pun intended)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNM1510</b></div><div>If Kesler isn’t playing then see if Steel can win it out. Otherwise give Kosilla a chance until you make a move. Maybe a rental like Filpulla. Someone who could be acquired for a minimal cost and won’t block Steel after next season.</div></div>

I guess we just look at it a bit differently. I see the Ducks as having two holes without Kesler (top 9 C and top 6 LW), whereas it seems you only see one hole there. I’m hoping Steel can fill one of those, but it’ll take someone else to fill the other (I don’t see Kossila or Ritchie as top 6 worthy). When Kesler ultimately comes back, then if Steel was ready he can play the LW position and then the Ducks can deal someone out for a return, keep the extra depth, or let Spooner stay at LW if Steel wasn’t ready after all. I’m almost always more of a fan of getting a lasting contract than paying a little less for a contract that’ll be worth nothing at the end of the season. Just flip someone instead and keep the value. Ritchie or Cogs could likely be expendable by year end anyways

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNM1510</b></div><div>I think the Ritchie and Kase contracts should be switched. Other than that, it looks pretty good.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>Ritchie for $1.7M, Kase no higher than $2.5M.

Love how hot you are on the Ducks, but they have a few bloated contracts that are hurting them, and guys with dubious futures health wise. Perry looks like trash now. If he starts the season hot I’d ask him to waive that NMC and move him for anything at all. The Ducks are really going to need to rely on young guys coming up big this year if they want to have a chance</div></div>

Did you see O.Kase's contract signing today? 3 years at 2.6M$ AAV. I was at 3 years at 2.65M$ AAV in this thread posted 5 weeks ago. Can you say "spot on"?! ?

Thread: Having some fun, BUF/CBJ/ANA/MTL trades
Value-wise, I think the Staal trade is pretty fair, but...I can't see the Ducks wanting to acquire and old player. By all accounts, they are looking to get younger.

I (personally) have no interest in ROR. He's a very good player, but over paid. While he is better than Koivu, I don't want another #2 center paid like a #1 on a loooong-term contract. ROR is a #2 center on a legit Cup contending team...IMO.

I am getting more and more intrigued with a trade with Columbus. Panarin would (obviously) be a great addition for the Wild, but I also think Savard is the type of defenseman that would be a perfect fit with Brodin. That pairing would be able to shut down anyone! Josh Anderson brings a hole lot of what the Wild desperately need, and Milano's speed would be a welcome addition. I would start with Zucker on the trade, but would be willing to move Granlund if necessary. I hate to give up the #24, but...

Panarin and Kaprizov on a line together in a couple years might just be amazing... Now, we just have to find a center to put between them...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNM1510</b></div><div>Don’t think Ducks GM Bob Murray is gonna Trade his 1st for a 2nd year in a row AND trade Silfverberg who he may end up using to add more picks in the draft. Not a bad offer, just don’t view it as something that actually happens.</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback! I've made similar trades on other threads a couple times and have never heard if this would be fair or not. The only thing that leaves me wondering if the Ducks might make a move like this is out of desperation. Getzlaf and Perry are on the edge of their careers and I could see them wanting to go for one more cup run while they can. They were swept in the playoffs and with the uncertainty of Kesler, a guy like Staal could be great for them.
