Confirmed with Link: [ANA/EDM] Adam Henrique (75% retained), Sam Carrick (50% retained), 2024 7th for 2024 1st round pick and 2025 cond. 5th - TB also retaining

[JabbaJabba]

Perry, Henrique, and Carrick on the Oil... Dare I say I'll have some Ducks fans cheering for the Oil with me?

Nope. I just can't. I wish those guys the best but there are so many other teams I would rather see win the cup. Also the earlier the Oilers are out, the better the pick will be so there's that.

 

[Dirk316]

A low 1st and a 5th is underwhelming. Also the last bit of toughness left is a aging beat up Gudas and Johnston

 

[2faded]

Just catching up on the other trades. Every other forward at 50% retained got a 2nd and a 4th. Seems Carrick might have been the sweetener for the 1st. Not sure what anyone is complaining about.

 

[TheStuntman]

Rather have the Oilers bow out and get a higher 1st round pick vs moving up a round late.

 

[Rpenny]

Get at least a first Verbeek

win for both teams.

[FiveTacos]

i'd bring him back, but only if it has no/minimal trade protection which won't happen

I have a cunning plan ...

He re-signs for one year. Next year rental trade again. Repeat. His family gets to stay in OC, he gets to chase the Cup every year, we keep piling up 1sts.

Definition of irony? some oiler fans are pissed at giving up the pick. This is a win win situation for both team. Why duck fans may not like the trade is because the pick could be in the 20's or as late as 28. This year is not a deep draft and they might realize that

Phase 3: profit

I'll be rooting for the Oilers now. I think McDavid deserves a cup, he's earned it. Add Perry, Henrique and Carrick to that and it's a no brainer for me to hope they win.

I guess Edm has suffered enough. Sort of a win/win. Ex-Ducks get a cup or Edm keeps suffering. Besides, there's still Toronto's suffering to keep me satisfied.

I'll be rooting for either: (i) Edm to lose in first round of playoffs thereby improving draft pick and maximizing EDM pain; or (ii) Edmonton to win SC for Henrique and Carrick (and Perry).

Carrick is a physical player, but he's been deferring to Johnston and generally less truculent this year. And its tough icing both of them given the drag on offense. I think this means no more scratches for Johnston, so not a huge loss in the toughness department. I also think the ducks might add again before the deadline.

 

[Rybread86]

Slightly worse return than I would have expected, especially with retention. No retention and no 7th involved, it seems right.

1st = Henrique
5th = Carrick

I guess I expected another player or higher pick coming back since we retained so much.

Overall not bad though.

Thanks Rico! ... and Sam

 

[Henrique Iglesias]

I’ll reserve judgement on this trade till after the draft. We have 8 picks in the first 3 rounds right now. Im not convinced we keep them all and I suspect we’ll end up dealing this 1st rounder.

 

[JAHV]

I'm happy with this and happy for Henrique and Carrick. I'm one of the few here that doesn't have a problem with Edmonton. I'd love to see McDavid and Draisaitl at least get a chance to play for the Cup, and now I get to root for Henrique and Carrick along the way. Win-win.

If Edmonton decides to crap the bed and give us a better pick, though, I'm good with that, too. But I have no desire to see the Kings or Vegas going anywhere in the playoffs.

according to posters here, anything after the 15th pick are duds. Yet, the same posters said there are Defensemen available late in the round that we could get after the drysdale trade. So what is it that you guys want?

for me it is a win win trade. The wild card Carrick. I like him. He brings a toughness that we lack in the line up. I have not seen him in awhile. He is also good on the dot.

 

[70sSanO]

It was a good trade. Getting a 1st for Henrique is good and while I like Carrick, he’s a 4th line grinder. Good for a playoff run, but not going to make or break getting a cup.

We don’t even know if PV was even going to tend for Carrick. If he didn’t we would get nothing and maybe he comes back in the Summer. If he doesn’t we still get nothing. It also opens another roster spot.

Worst part is we are stuck with Gibson’s bad attitude for the foreseeable future if we have used our retention.

[duckaroosky]

I'm glad we got a 1st but I'm not overwhelmed with the whole trade. I guess I'm just whelmed.

I'm definitely not going to root for the oil in the playoffs though, f*** them hoes.

Do you think another Terry incident will happen?

this is the worst recap of Ducks' drafting history. We're not great at drafting forwards beyond the top-10, but we're damned amazing when drafting defensemen and goalies.

[Rasp]

Great deal! Getting a first is what matters. All of the other pieces are worth almost nothing. Carrick is a 4th liner/AHL player and a 7th is an absolute crap shoot of a pick. Getting a 5th back is fine but also a very longshot to be an NHL player.

1st round pick and get to cheer for an Oilers swift loss this year is great news!

I hope we bring back Henrique he is a great player when he is motivated.

 

[Dirk316]

It hasn't happened since Johnson was claimed but definitely the softer the team gets more likely.

Not likely tbh. And has nothing to do with Johnson

 

[AngelDuck]

The ducks are 3rd to last in the league. There’s no good argument to keeping either of Carrick or Henrique. Vatrano I can understand the argument for keeping around because you can always move him next year if we’re bad again

Yep, and maybe using all 3 retentions slots says that maybe PV wasn’t interested in moving Vatrano
