Not sure what I would actually want from Anaheim...a lot of intriguing prospects, but none of their young prospect defensmen really check the boxes. Manson is proven, but there is no offensive upside there. I can't see him being more than a high quality #4 defensman type. Theodore has struggled at the NHL level. Montour could be a good one, but he's an offensive defensman, probably more of a Vatanen / Barrie type. I know next to nothing about Jacob Larsson other than what I've read, but apparently he's a pretty good prospect. We do know Sakic was at one of their games, so as little sense as Vatanen makes, I do wonder if he was looking at him (or maybe Montour I suppose, but the cap has to balance out for Anaheim). Maybe Sakic would consider something like Vatanen+1st+one of Anaheim's defensive prospects for Duchene. Not that I want Vatanen, even if Barrie is moved.
I also think Anaheim should be / would be pursuing Duchene, not Landeskog. They need an infusion of offensive creativity over there.

Theoretically, if these were offered, which one would you choose for Duchene?
Murray + PLD + 1st
Hamonic + Barzal + 1st
Ceci + Chabot/White + 1st
Sergachev + Lehkonen + 1st
Ekholm + Fabbro + Fiala + 1st
Hanifin + 1st or Slavin/Faulk (Straight Up)
Murray + PLD + 1st
Hamonic + Barzal + 1st
Ceci + Chabot/White + 1st
Sergachev + Lehkonen + 1st
Ekholm + Fabbro + Fiala + 1st
Hanifin + 1st or Slavin/Faulk (Straight Up)

Classic course of the prospect
He went from being a prospect doing quite well in the AHL, showing promise in a brief stint in the NHL and getting everyone excited about how he'd take the 'next step', and then the reality is that when he begins the season there are growing pains and struggles, and suddenly you don't have the young top four defensman you hoped for but rather a young player who makes poor decisions sometimes and is figuring the NHL out. I've seen him a few times this year and he's still at least 1-2 years away in my opinion from being able to potentially be a top four NHL defensman.Not a prospect I would want as a key part of a return, incidentally. I want the Avs to pursue steady, defense first two way defenders.

I'd probably choose the Carolina one, if it were Hanifin + 1st (because that 1st would be the highest offered)...but I really don't think Carolina is going to make any move at this point.

He listed 3 options for Carolina.
Personally I'd go for Slavin straight up I guess. Although Hanifin + possible lottery pick is tempting.

Yeah, that's why I said the Hanifin + 1st...but I also do like Slavin, so that one would be awfully nice too (even though I personally believe he tops out as an elite #2, that's still a top-pairing D-man)

Was really impressed by Slavin during the Canes game. Carolina would probably trade Hanifin + 1st or Faulk before him though.

(I hope other team fans aren't reading our board)
In that order:
1- Slavin
2- Hanifin + 1st
3- Ceci + Chabot + 1st
4- Sergachev + Lehkonen + 1st
5- Hamonic + Barzal + 1st
7- Ekholm + Fabbro + Fiala + 1st
8- Murray + PLD + 1st
9- Faulk
(I hope other team fans aren't reading our board)
It's not any worse than some of the BS offers I've read on their boards.

I'd take that NSH trade wihtout thinking twice. Ekholm and EJ immediately forms a very reliable top pairing that can play big minutes. That allows the team to let the youngsters develop organically, while at the same time it's not like Ekholm and EJ are ancient. On top of that, you get Fabbro and Fiala, both of which are very solid prospects.

Thank you, Bill!

I'm probably the only one here, but I'd prefer the isles package the most out of any of the listed.
If the avs want to rebuild, you could flip harmonic for a younger dman and barzal is a great forward prospect.
If they want to try to be competitive, Harmonic is a great option to put beside Barrie next year and barzal is still a great forward prospect.

1. Hanifin + 1st or Slavin. Would like one more piece but 1st here will be high and I'd do Slavin straight up.
2. Sergachev package
3. Chabot package. Wouldn't even do it if it's White instead tho
4. Columbus package. Close with Isles but PLD slightly edges Barzal and only 3 year to UFA on Hamonic
5. Isles package
6. Preds package

I would usually do that but the Avs depth is so bad and the prospect pool needs so much help that I take the quantity deal here which is the Nashville one (plus I really like Fabbro).
Tbh, I don't think we'll get anything like those deals. We'll get back something better than what the main board things but worse than what our board things.
Of course I'm in the camp of move and be done with so to me something good is better than holding out for something great and getting nothing.

The plan (I think) is to build a proper D first and worry about the top 6 later (built around Mack, Rants, Jost and 2017 1st pick).

That really sucks. Not so much for the team, as the season's been over for a while now. It really sucks for Zadorov's development. Damn injuries!

Is the prospect pool really that bad though? As far as the under 25 crew goes, for top six forwards we would have MacK, Landy, Rantanen, Jost, and the 2017 1st, for defense we'd have Zadorov, Bigras, Meloche, Barrie, Slavin/Faulk, and the bottom six would have Greer, Compher, Beaudin, Nantel, Morrison, Henley. Plus the rest of the 2017 draft class which would hopefully include an extra couple of top 100 picks from rental sales. Overall, not a bad pool for our needs.
