As for trade deadline.... I imagine
Sure thing moves: These are just general value(could be used in trades)
MDZ- for a 6th... I don't mind him... but a lot of teams would like to add a player like him for depth purposes before playoffs.
Deslauries- for a 4th(maybe 3rd, lot of teams want some grit)… I like deslauries a lot, hes done exactly what he has been brought in here to do... but if we could get our 4th(or higher) back that we traded for him that would be good.... and we can still try and resign him as a free agent.
Grant- for a 4th Another good depth player that a lot of playoff teams wouldn't mind adding, solid face off guy, another player I wouldn't mind resigning in offseason, but because his contract is up, if we don't extend him we should look at getting another pick.
Maybe moves:
Shore- for a 5th He just hasn't really worked out in Anaheim, I cant imagine we have any intention of resigning him... but I think another team might find a use for him as a utility/depth guy... might be under selling on him cause I dislike him /shrug
Miller- for a 3rd(before anyone has a fit, assuming he wants to make a run) Definitely a market for him, more if he wants to go or not... im fine if he stays, but if he wants to take 1 last run.. I think we can get a 3rd for him pretty easily.
Trade: (relax, just speculations for fun), I don't mind if you disagree but at least explain your argument.
Toronto: Ceci + 2nd
Anaheim: Deslauries + 6th + Holzer
Toronto clears up a chunk of cap to ideally help make a move for a dmen, deslauries helps them put a little beef in the line up... they clearly miss a guy like Matt Martin. Hozler gives them a little extra veteran depth.
Edmonton: Russel + Pulj + 1st
Anaheim: Kase
Edmonton adds a legit top 6 winger to their line up, on a good contract.... while clearing up cap space for this year and next year. Ducks add a bit of a project in Puljujarvi… still oozing with potential tho… and a 1st that should land somewhere around 22 to pick up another asset for the future. Risk for Anaheim... kase goes off and stays healthy with those centers, Risk for Edmonton Pulj becomes what he was predicted to become.
Dallas: Cogliano + Honka + 4th
Anaheim: Rowney + Morand
Ducks get a RHD to put into our prospect pool... since we have basically 0. Dallas gets rid of cogs cap space for the couple years going forward... rowneys ends a year earlier + roughly 2 mil cheaper. I admit I may be off on this 1 a little bit(might be over valuing honka.
