I agree. If Rakell was all star Rakell with potential to get closer to a php player and Monty progressed this season rather regressing, I could see a deal but as things stand now I cant see Edm considering that deal unless we added another roster player so from their side they can say they added a ton of depth and there team will be better even though they gave up the best player in the deal.

I was asking because people were disappointed with the Monty trade, asking if they would have prefered something like that vs what return was.
I guess if he wasn't going to comment on cogs he wouldn't here either. It still strikes me as odd though. Most young guys we have traded have come with a justification. Maybe he is learning not to do that.

FWIW, Stephens speculated that failure to come to a long term agreement last summer could have led Bob to a fear of having to pay north of $5M AAV on his next deal when he would be an RFA but only 1 year away from UFA. There's certainly some logic to that train of thought.

In a year where scoring is up dramatically, we most likely will not have a single guy hit 50 points unless Getzlaf gets back soon. That's just tragic.

Hell, if Getzlaf is out for the year, we might not have anyone hit 40 points lol. Henrique is currently on pace for 42

I don't necessarily expect one but I also don't know about that. I don't think the league hates that contract as much as the internet does(evergreen statement) and the way centers are always in demand makes me think it's not exactly crazy. Wouldnt surprise me at all if Buffalo used that other first rounder(or whatever else) to come a calling on Rico.

Which is absolutely brutal. The only two forwards who are close to first liners we have had this season are both made of glass.
I think I’ll concede now to your point that this is the worst season I can remember. I think we have surpassed 2001-02 now. At least Kariya put up 32 that season.

They'd probably hold onto that and deal the other later one. They really gotta address their forward depth and that's a very easy way to do it.

State of Ducks:
Among top 100 forwards in P/GP, who have played 50 and over games (used that as a criteria as Getzlaf has played 55 on the season) we have 1 player, at position 85:
Ryan Getzlaf - 0,71 P/GP
Kings have two (Kopitar 0,76, and Brown 0,67). Sens had two as well (Duchene and Stone).
