We aren't trading our best defenseman who is signed to an awesome contract. There is no reason to do that. None.

Larsson instead of Nurse or Bouchard instead of Bear might make the value closer but why would the Ducks trade Lindholm?

These teams are not trading with each other and the Ducks would ask for Draisaitl, which would be a no from us.

I'm a big Nurse fan, but this doesn't make much sense for the Ducks. Why do they do this?
As ChaoticOrange said above, Lindholm<-->Draisaitl is what the Ducks would be looking for if for some reason they felt the need to move the backbone of their current and future young D core.

Can't speak for others but personally I'd rather take lindholm over Draisaitl, both in terms of contract and performance.

Ducks would want a massive overpayment from a divisional foe. Nothing the Oilers would wanna give up. Definitely more than Nurse and Bear

The Ducks won’t be trading their best defenseman and if they decided to it surely would not be to a division team.
Even all 4 of those don't get it done. Quantity for Quality trades means the quantity side is going to have to severely overpay. Lindholm won't be moved unless the return is Drai+ or RNH++. Lindholm is a #1D, signed to a good contract, and still has lots of potential to improve. He won't go to a division rival barring a huge overpay, especially when that rival is a #1D away from being serious cup contenders.
If the Oilers try and pry Lindholm from the Ducks, they likely overpay and end up worse. They're better off chasing a guy outside the division like Trouba where they could at least get fair value from their assets.

I am a big believer in Nurse. That being said, I would make this deal in a heartbeat... that tells me the Ducks wouldn’t.
Not saying that a few years down the road I might look back on the above comment and say “what was I thinking?”... but a lot would have to go right.

You would have to remove Lindholm to make it work
PPG defenseman in the WHL. Similar production to guys like Rielly/Montour in their junior careers. Right now, probably a middle 6 NHL forward or a solid F prospect. Doesn't make sense to move him for less for the ducks since he could be a top 4 NHL D in a few years.
This upcoming year in the AHL will probably be a good indicator of his potential moving forward. Thus far he seems like the Ducks top offensive D prospect.

If Anaheim moves Lindholm, aside from a situation where there are mitigating circumstances, it would likely be in a deal similar to the one we saw involving Seth Jones. So a package with more pieces isn't improving things.

Let’s not be ridiculous here. You don’t have any three pieces together that would get McDavid.
Also the ‘Nurse has no hockey IQ’ stuff is dead and buried. RIP 2012-2017.
