It's too bad there isn't a way to actually quantify every player's dollar value like you can with baseball (they have a formula to determine the dollar value of 1WAR in a given season), because I'd suspect Karlsson has already produced at least double his $1M value already this season.

Main board says we dealt Vatanen for Henrique, Blandisi, and a 3rd

 

[ducks8]

Finally

 

[ducks8]

Who is this Blandisi dude?

 

[Arthuros]

Well, I can't say I'm surprised we got Henrique+.

 

[Pennaduck]

Apparently we may still be interested in E. Kane





There are also rumors about Ottawa making another move (or more), so there's quite a few players there that would look real good in Anaheim.

 

[Dirk316]

Kane has been on Anaheims radar for 2 seasons now. Would look great in the Eaves roll with Getzlaf

 

[ohcomeonref]

Hmm, what do we have that we could even give up for Kane? Our defensive depth has already taken serious hits in the past year, a deal around picks would be great.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Given what BUF fans are asking on the MB, prepare for some awful proposals.

 

[Ducks in a row]

IMO Ducks shouldn't be interested in E. Kane with his troubles and also with this teams unluckiness with injury we shouldn't be trading for any UFA players that would cost anything good.

 

[Spazkat]

Yes. Trading for what looks to be a really pricey rental in this years draft seems like a spectacularly bad plan... especially given the uncertainty surrounding the team this year with all the injuries. Its not like BM is going to hand out the UFA dollars that Kane is going to be looking for to re-sign him and our depth has already taken a big hit between Vegas and Vatanen

 

[Paul4587]

We need a Dman far more than we need Kane.

 

[Masch78]

Kane? What the hell would be the price of him? He would be a pure rental and expensive to get.

Whom would you use to aquire certain players? It will likely be prospects and picks.

 

[Kalv]

Kane would be sweeet but I don`t see how we can make it happen.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I have two thoughts.

1. You have to decide if Henrique will be at wing or center first. My hope is center. I don't want to see us trading any top picks or prospects for rentals.

2. Solidifying the third pair is a bigger need, but complicated by the fact that the organization is in love with Bieksa and refuse to acknowledge how much he hurts the team.

Additionally you have to factor in how Kesler plays and whether he might need a more limited role

 

[Frosted Tips]

Have to wonder if this "interest" originates from a time before the Henrique trade and not so much anymore...

 

[Duck Off]

This.

I agree with the other who mentioned that we may just be still getting grouped in teams interested because of our interest before the Henrique deal.

 

[JabbaJabba]

I can't see how the Ducks could fit Kane, would have to send Bieksa to Buffola in order to do so. Maybe at the deadline then?

Bieksa has a NMC

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Bieksa isn't going to waive his NMC, especially not to go across the continent to play for a bottom feeder.

 

[darkwingduck]

I don't think with Beauchemin and Bieksa around this year that BM will trade for any substantial Dman, any sort of defensive upgrade will have to come from (Larsson, Megna, Welinski).

 

[91Fedorov]

I don't think we'll trade for a notable D man. If we did, we'd want someone that wouldn't mind playing behind our top 4. Ideally they would also be physical and the type of player that gets better during the playoffs because they can get away with playing dirty. That's Bieksa. I know he's just passable now, but under playoff rules (or lack of rules) he's a good player. If we get anyone it will be a physical, boarder line dirty, 3rd pair guy. That's my $0.02 at least.

 

[Mallard]

I really hope we don't pursue Kane. If we are doing something I'd rather Hoffman or something

With Montour on the third pairing they wouldn’t necessarily be playing behind our top 4, there’s a spot wide open alongside one of Lindholm/Fowler right now.
