Kesler deserves a chance to actually recover from his injury of course we are all concerned about his future but he's got 6 months to get better. He had to completely relearn how to skate which alot of ppl don't knowWhile this is a terrible deal for the Ducks (Rakell is the best player in the deal), the Kesler looks done.
why is it every f***ing time i see a ducks trade proposition it ends up with ana getting f***ing shit on. do all the other teams honestly think we dont know the talent and worth of our own players?To Edmonton: Rakell, Silfverberg & Montour.
To Anaheim: RNH, Larsson & Yamamoto.
Edmonton get their puckmoving defenceman in Montour, great winger for McDavid in Rakell and a defensive specialist in Silfvermountain.
Anaheim get their #2 center, a top-4 defensive defenceman on a great contract and a high-end forward prospect in Yamamoto.
Would possibly benefit both teams in terms on needs?

It's terrible.I don't think it's terrible by any means, but I don't think the money works.
RNH (25) -- 3 years / 6M
Larsson (25) -- 3 years / 4.2M
Yamamoto (19) -- 2 years / 925K
Rakell (24) -- 4 years / 3.8M
Silfverberg (27) -- 1 year / 3.75M
Montour (24) -- RFA
I think we'll be able to sign Monty to a relatively cheap contract, and I'd rather just trade Silfverberg if his contract demands are too high.
What part of this is good? We add 2.2 million to rakell for a lesser player in RNH, Larsson fills 0 needs for us, we already have lindholm who is much better than him and id argue manson is pretty close to him... not to mention Jacob Larsson/welinski/pettersson all seem NHL ready.... no way we move Montour he is our best offensive threat from blue line.I don't think it's terrible by any means, but I don't think the money works.

Larsson is one of the more overrated dmen in the league, he's at best a number 4 dman and doesn't have the same value as Montour who IMO has already surpassed him.
Rakell is better than RNH.
Silfberberg has more value than Yamamoto.
So Ducks lose in every aspect of the deal.
Counter offer. Fowler ++ for Hall. Oilers get a top pairing dman and Ducks get a top line winger. Oh wait.....
Why do you have pluses add to Fowler? Did you forget who the Oilers GM is? With him making the deal it would have ended up being Fowler for Hall +.
