<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>That Kase trade sucks... trading our best LHD prospect for a guy who can't stay healthy? there's no doubt that Kase has talent but not worthy of giving up Samuelsson that's for sure.</div></div>

You act like Samuelsson is a bonafide blue chip prospect who is certain to be a top-4 D... he looked pretty bad at the WJC recently. I have only seen him play in-person and on tv a few times, but I haven't been impressed at all (and from prospect report articles I've read on him from The Athletic, neither have they)

Regardless of his value, where does he fit with us long term? Dahlin and Jokiharju are obviously going nowhere. And while we may move one of Risto, Montour, Miller, etc eventually, I'm assuming at least one or two from that group are staying.

Samuelsson is years away from even getting an opportunity to make an NHL impact, all while we waste away Eichel's prime and Dahlin's ELC. I actually think he's one of our most expendable future assets we have currently

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>spending a ton of money on the 4th line and 3rd pair is a huge waste of cap space. okposo is pretty much unmovable unless he goes on ltir and I dont know his contract structure. you could easily replace montour, mccabe and soderberg with guys making under or around 1.5 million. realistically you shouldnt be playing your 4th line more then 6 or 7 minutes and your 3rd pair should be around 15 minutes. just by replacing those 3 guys you free up around 13 million. that gives you more then enough room to sign a guy like kreider</div></div>

If Cozens has to be sent back to juniors, which is unfortunately what I think might happen, Soderberg would have a much more expanded 5v5 role than line 4.

We can get away with overpaying the bottom D pair for one year since Dahlin and Jokiharju will still be on their ELC's. After the 2020-2021 season, I'd get rid of McCabe, Johansson, and Dell which will free up about 10.5 mil for Dahlin and Joki. Borowiecki/Larsson would free up over 3 mil as well.

It can be afforded... that being said, I'm open to trading Montour or Risto for a forward at any time. Just couldn't think of the right trade value and we're not in a position where we need to move either of them asap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>I don't know how much higher the price would go. Rakell isn't Taylor Hall and he only got a conditional first, a conditional 3rd and 2 b-level prospects if you consider Speers and a prospect close to a wash. I think an unconditional 1st, middle pairing dman and a b-level prospect is pretty fair.</div></div>

Hall is a pending UFA, Rakell has one of the best contracts in the league.

I just don't think Anaheim entertains it because Miller is not a big enough headliner piece, the Ducks are still at least a year or two away from competing so I don't think Miller helps them much at the end of the day. Especially if they're giving up a piece as big as Rakell

I think Miller + Tage Thompson for Kase is a more realistic offer to send. I don't think the Ducks will consider moving Rakell unless it's crazy overpayment
