Why would Anaheim trade zegras for a 30 year old that is heavily inflated stats by playing on a team with malkin and Crosby.

and here we go lol

 

[The Duck Knight]

Sign and trades just don't happen. What's the incentive for Guentzel to agree to it as opposed to hitting the market and having his choice of teams after getting a shot with a contender for another Cup?

and here we go lol

I mean you made the post it’s an easy no from Anaheim

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Second Dallas deal is more likely than the first imo. Anaheim doesn't make sense as a trade partner given where they are in terms of their rebuilding.

I mean it’s not 2014 anymore Crosby and Malkin aren’t these world beaters, they are 37 years old. If anything Guentzel helps Crosby more than the other way around.

Guentzels contract demands will be high no reason for Anaheim to do this and they likely won’t age well.


And Crosby and makin are still very good players

Why would Pittsburg trade for a guy on pace for a 28 pt season.

Would love to hear what other Pens fans think of this statement.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I feel like Dallas's depth up front means they can afford to be patient; Guentzel doesn't fill a need for this team right now, at least not at that price.

Also, Dadonov's injury may very well take him out past the trade deadline anyway.

(Also who knows how long Guentzel's going to be on the shelf)

I thought it would make sense bc Anaheim needs goal scorers and they could pay him. Also, I see them competing next year and he’s very good in the playoffs. Plus there first this year will be top3 so they could draft another high end forward.

Dadanov is just a throw in for cap purposes mainly and Guentzel will most likely be healthy before the deadline.

Now I see the problem.

I think majority will agree with me. No doubt Crosby is still great even at this age but Guentzel helps him just as much.

 

[Gurglesons]

At this point in Sid's career it's more true than it is false.

I kind of am entertained to see Jake traded because of how many people think he is a product of Crosby.

I don't think we've really ever seen any player massively bumped in terms of production with Sid. Kunitz was a 60 pt winger prior to coming to PIT. He had the big lock out season. But aside form that was largely a 60 pt player in PIT.

Dupuis his his career high in PIT in 11-12 when Sid was largely out for the majority of the season.

 

[McDonald19]

The Ducks continue to rebuild and are not going to trade young players for vets.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Now I see the problem.

How can’t they? They seem to have a decent core of young dmen and forwards. Adding guentzel plus some pieces in free agency on top of all of their upcoming draft picks and they definitely sneak in next year.

 

[MisterT]

No GM trades Wyatt Johnston for a 30 y.o. and keeps his job. Just ask George McPhee how a similar trade helped his career trajectory in Washington.

Should watch some Ducks games, that will easily change your expectations lol

Why not just sign Guentzel as a UFA this summer then? If Verbeek really believes bringing in a 30 year old goal scorer is the missing piece to get into the playoffs? The Ducks have the cap space to make a strong free agent offer.

 

[Gurglesons]

Just for the record. Anaheim makes no sense as a potential trade partner for Guentzel.

Not comparable even the slightest bit.

Okay so Anaheim isn’t a good partner how do Dallas fans feel about it?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Good we agree

 

[Gurglesons]

Good we agree

I don't think I've ever said this, but the fact you have an LA avatar but are a Ducks fan annoys the shit out of me every time I see it lol.

Crosby is 36 and has the 9th most EVP in the league. Not slamming Jake who is excellent, but both your sentences above are wrong.
