It’s a 2025 4th rounder. So it was for nothing. This was about the Ducks fulfilling a promise made when they signed him as a free agent. Classy move by the Ducks.
I mean they had 1.82 million reasons to get him off their roster im sure it was mutual.

Well, Jim Nill didn't stand pat and I'm just happy about that.

More than happy to add Domi + Dadonov to this team. 2 offensive players acquired for the sole reason of helping this team offensively, and for a very affordable cost. Love it

Team still needs another top 4 puck moving dman, but it is what it is. Wouldn't have wanted a rental top 4 dman anyways wouldve been too pricey I imagine

They weren't getting that at the deadline . If anything they'd have added some other option for the third pairing as depth. Not enough capspace for anything more than that . For puckmovers its now Harley or bust . He's had a very good AHL season so .

I would have done the Ghost trade for the 2026 3rd, but that's about it

I might be the only one that wouldn't have done the Ghost trade. I'd prefer Harley to get that postseason experience if the player is going to be that underwhelming.

Has anyone had their value tank like Klingberg over the last 1.5 years? He was about to sign 8x7.5 or something but his agent said we can get more. Then he gets nothing. Now he is traded for a 4th rounder.. holy f***. From $60M contract offer from Dallas to being worth less than a league minimum scrub bub.

Assuming on the Seguin line. Something like dunno Marchment-Seguin/Domi-Domi/Seguin.
Interesting sire. Domi has been real solid especially at the center so we willeth see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully he shines like a saltshaker with yall :clap: he has learned a lot from his dad.

In Colorado's defense, they essentially have a different GM than the one who built the Cup winner. It's not too far off from the Bob Gainey - Doug Armstrong dynamic.

Surprised Colorado didn't go after Domi. Would've been a really good fit there honestly

Especially considering they essentially gave up the same/got an even worse deal on Eller. Guess he fit more of a need, idk

The Western Conference is wide-open. Sure, the Dallas Stars, Vegas Golden Knights, Seattle Kraken and Minnesota Wild have had strong seasons, but none of those teams has really separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Those teams had a chance to create some separation at the deadline and just didn't do so.

The Stars added forward Max Domi and the Wild added defenseman John Klingberg. Those aren't bad moves by any means, but they're not ones that are transforming your roster into a Stanley Cup contender. This was a chance to make a statement and nobody really did.

Now, as brutal as a season as it has been, the Colorado Avalanche could be a lot healthier come playoff time. The Avalanche could swoop right in and make a run at a second consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

This is exactly what I have been saying all along. Nill had a chance to find a difference maker and did not. I’m sure no one preseason thought Dallas would be in this spot and that could have played a role in Nills decisions as he did not have his 1st in 2023. Still missed a massive opportunity to be a standout team in the west. Domi is okay and will help seguins line but not what they needed to really get over the top.
