Thread: 2022-2023 After TDL 2023
>> Would two big-bodied recent top-60 pick prospects (LW and LD) be incentive enough for Anaheim to take on Hoffman's contract without retention?

I doubt it. The wall you hit with that proposal is Anaheim has a very deep prospect pool so they don't need to be adding quantity of prospects. For the LD kid if he's not better than Lacombe or Thrun or Zellweger what's the point. For the winger the Ducks already have his Northeastern team mate Sam Colangelo who looks like a better prospect.

You'd probably get more interest if the offer was picks. That would spread out the prospect ages rather than clump it up and the Ducks would be free to take any kid they really liked from what ever draft class.

Or you could blow them away with a nice high-end prospect rather than a couple of B-ish kids.
