You guys realize that just makes Ducks fans on here look just as bad as your claiming leaf fans are right

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Pretty disrespectful considering he didn't trash on your trade. Singling out 1 fan base and calling their opinions trash is not a good idea. In general this trade does not work as liligren despite being a late bloomer has more potential than Manson. It's a risky gamble that is just not worth taking as liligren is young and is developing into a solid 2-way defense man.

My advice next time someone disagrees with your trade ask why, don't go trashing on the fan base cause there is no point in doing so</div></div>

As I'm sure you know these two don't speak for all Ducks fans on here with disrespect like that. I agree with everything you say here

Thread: Ranking Canes prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>He's also very good, but as I just said, I was approaching this from the standpoint of who I would want to take a cap dump if I'm seattle, and Honka was that low down the list. He's very good, better than his brother for sure, but I don't think I can justify putting him above some of the others in here.</div></div>

Thats fair, I'm very high on him myself, I'd have him 3rd or 4th on this list personally. putting up 19 points in 43 games as a 19 YO Dman in the top finnish league is very impressive to me. He can really drive possesion, even against men at his age. Honka’s puck skill is elite and gives him PP1 upside at the NHL level, so if his defensive game can hold its own in a regular shift, he could become an impact player. Honka’s points tend to be the primary kind because he makes pro-level plays, rather than the safe, short pass.

One of my favourite D prospects in the league personally

Thread: DUCKS FANS- Would you accept this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>given that the ducks are transitioning from full rebuild to developing their assets, i would think they'd rather quality over quantity. I ain't a ducks fan, but i think this is the right move. Rangers might need to add a late pick to balance out the #s (maybe one of their excess 7ths)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>Any draft pick trade comes down to who’s left on the board and if you have a guy you love available at that spot. Personally right now, no I wouldn’t do this. I’m not a draft prospect expert but based on the thoughts of how deep this draft is if there isn’t that big of a drop off between prospect 22 and 31 I’d rather get the extra player too.</div></div>

These two summed up my thoughts almost exactly, Value wise it is probably close and a team that needs to start building a prospect pool probably says yes, but the Ducks need to focusing on deepening and developing, I think they would stand pat unless they are in love with a player they don't want to risk missing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I'm having flashback nightmares. It is so similar to the Brian "The Brain" Burke trade to move up to get Tyler Biggs, and then the Ducks picked Rakell and Gibson.</div></div>

Glad im not the only one that made that comparison. Also the Ducks and Leafs traded swapped 2011 and 2012 6th rounders which went to turn into Josh Manson and Ryan Rupert :grimace

Thread: Rakell to CAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mytduxfan</b></div><div>Can someone explain what is the hype around Timmins? I see him listed alongside a 1st in deals for Rakell all the time and I just don't see why he's so highly-regarded. He's an early second rounder, but I don't see anything special. At best he's got top 4 potential, but comes with prior concussion too. IMO, we really don't need more players susceptible to brain injuries (Depres, Kase).



Yeah, Kase is a firecracker. That was a good deal for you guys. Hopefully your big boys can protect him from anymore concussions.

Ritchie is "meh". I have no concerns about him being a big game player in BOS. Good size and happy to get into those tough areas, but his skating isn't good enough for the modern NHL and he's too dumb to anticipate the play.</div></div>

Timmins has become a driving force in the AHL, showing some dynamic elements and consistently making plays. The only real hole in his game at this point might be that he doesn’t have the hardest shot in the world. And on the scale of things that matter to me for a defenceman these days, a threatening shot is near the bottom of the list. Otherwise, he’s 6-foot-2, he has begun to fill out, he’s a smooth skater who will get more powerful as he gets even stronger, he’s got NHL hands for his size, he’s a superb outlet and seam passer and he has always been a mature defender for his age, demonstrating an impressive ability to read the play and pick his spots.

Yeah concussions could be an issue but he is a player with a very high ceiling imo, I would take him and a first in a heartbeat for Rakell

Thread: Rakell to CAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>I though Rakell was a RW? For 2-3 years now I've felt like Rakell could be a good piece for the Bruins top 6, but it seems we just don't match-up well for a trade. Don't have much to offer for RHD as McAvoy and Carlo wouldn't be available. Center depth we're trying to build back up and we've been looking for a top 6 RW for what feels like 5 years now lol.</div></div>

He plays both, though I prefer he plays on the left and ideally opposite of Silf, if it were my choice those two would always play together. Rakell plays better on the left. I would only move Rakell for a package of a good young RHD prospect and a first (Timmins and COL 1st) is a deal I've seen tossed around on here I really like

Yeah I dont see BOS having the pieces ANA would want in a Rakell deal (Well, I should say realistic pieces)
