Zero chance Anaheim touches that

I don’t see how this benefits Anaheim at all

Why? What's the downside for Anaheim other than taking on an expiring D contact and a decent D prospect?

 

[FissionFire]

Saarijarvi is not a ‘decent D prospect’. He is still trying to prove himself as an AHL regular who can QB a PP. It’s far more likely he never pans out than makes it at this point. Anaheim basically gets an injured Daley and a C-at-best level prospect for a 3rd rounder and a depth winger. Unless they feel they can flip Daley at the deadline for better than a 3rd is makes zero sense for them.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Not interested

 

[pbgoalie]

Always good to add a guy like Daley to a team that is always high in injuries

You mean aside from giving you a guy they just signed, adding a pick and taking on additional salary to bring in 2 players they don't need?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Looking at the Wings D depth after their recent signings, it seems like Bowey could be a guy for the Ducks to target.

 

[LarKing]

I’d rather try and flip Daley for a pick at the TDL and hope Saarijarvi pans out than acquire those two pieces.

I think Anaheim could say the same thing though.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Even if the Ducks had the slightest interest in Daley, he ain't worth that right now. That's an overpay for any team, and its even more for the Ducks since they traded a 4th for Deslauriers a week ago.

Daley may get a 3rd at the deadline, but he needs to stay healthy.

I see Saarijarvi in a little better light than you do, apparently.

I forgot they just signed DeLaSaurus and didn't know the Ducks' needs, which is why I asked.
