Thread: LAK Summer of 2021
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pattymelt47</b></div><div>I just figured that's what it would take to get a guy like Bura in Anaheim with the state of their rebuild and their state tax situation.

I probably overpaid, but it's a trade to a division rival so I did what it would likely take to get the guy (Yamo).</div></div>

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Kassian on the fourth line, but I don't like the overall structure of that trade. Just not a big fan of Yamo I guess.

Burakovsky would be a great add, but I just doubt that a guy from the 2nd tier of free agents is going to be willing to sign in Anaheim even for a boat load of money. I've turned my eye more towards Mikheyev for that roster spot. He's more of a 3rd tier option so cheaper and less in demand (maybe?).

Thread: Rakell And Manson Return
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pattymelt47</b></div><div>If Manson is only getting 2 years, he'll likely require a much higher AAV

The Henrique deal is a tough one. Pitt would have to be very desperate to take on his contract, and they'd still be giving up a lot. Plus, from a Ducks perspective, Terry played his best when on a line with Henrique and this trade would leave the Ducks very young at center with little to no insurance.

Why not bring back Elvenes?</div></div>

Haven't seen you involved with the hardcore cadre of Anaheim fans before, most of whom are in this thread but not <a href="/users/Lenny7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Lenny7</a> and <a href="/users/Salzy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Salzy</a>. Welcome!

Thread: Rakell And Manson Return
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>Manson, Marchment, Bura are all nice adds I like while Rakell, ZAR, and the Gardiner trade are no thank yous to me

I think I may rather try getting a Brock Boeser possibly to play where Rakell is

Kapanen is making too much as well</div></div>
ZAR is an elite defensive forward who could be detrimental to the Ducks penalty kill going forward. I think re-signing him is pretty realistic and $2.3 million AAV for 4 years is a steal. The Gardiner trade essentially gives the Ducks defenseman in Ethan Bear who is still pretty young and a free 2nd for one year of Jake Gardiner, and older dman in Kevin Shattenkirk who might not even play well this coming season, and an injury risk Max Jones who’s more of a liability at this point. I honestly don’t know how the Ducks say no to a trade like this if it’s offered to them unless more can be added going the Ducks way. As for Rakell, that I can agree could not happen at all, but I don’t think bringing him back would be terrible. He’s familiar with the system, he still has plenty of good years left, and it just feels like a direction that Verbeek would want to go if presented to him. As for Kapanen, I really don’t know what a good number for him is but I’m sure he’ll make at least a little bit more than his last contract regardless.
