Proposal: Rakell to Calgary

[super6646]

Can be a cheap and young upgrade to our #2C or RW, and Anaheim needs assets. Don't know if they would be willing to trade within the division, but I'll try my best:

To Calgary: Rickard Rakell

To Anaheim:

2019 1st
2020 2nd
Mark Jankowski
Juuso Valimaki/Oliver Kylington

No just no

 

[Potty John]

I’d do the 2019 1st the 2020 2nd and Dube for Rakell. Top offer at most.

 

[Gecklund]

Rakell is as valuable to the Ducks as Gaudreau is to the Flames.

 

[flamesforcup]

Rakell is as valuable to the Ducks as Gaudreau is to the Flames.

I highly doubt that.

 

[TopCheese]

Rakell is as valuable to the Ducks as Gaudreau is to the Flames.

Not even close

 

[Gecklund]

Not even close

I never said they had the same value now did I? I said Rakell has the same value TO THE DUCKS as Gaudreau has to the flames.

 

[MMC]

Try again, this time offering something that actually has value to the Ducks.

 

[TopCheese]

I never said they had the same value now did I? I said Rakell has the same value TO THE DUCKS as Gaudreau has to the flames.

And I said NOT EVEN CLOSE

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

No thanks. Massive overpayment.

 

[Gecklund]

And I said NOT EVEN CLOSE

Please tell me where I’m wrong. Rakell is the Ducks best forward and is young. Gaudreau is the Flames best forward and is young. Just because Gaudreau hasn’t more value in a vacuum doesn’t mean the Ducks will give up Rakell for anything less than extreme overpayment. Especially for this shit show of an offer.

Rakell is as valuable to the Ducks as Gaudreau is to the Flames.

That only means your team has serious issues.

Rakell is on pace for around 15 goals and 50 points. Gaudreau is on pace for nearly 50 goals and 120 points, is one of the favourites for the heart trophy and is propelling his team to one of the best records in the league

And Rakell scored more goals than Gordo last season, and the season before that. He is on a cheaper contract as well.
Now, Gordo is probably the better player, and the Flames are a better team this year. That wasnt the case these last two seasons. Context is key.

A first round pick and a top prospect have no value to the Ducks?

 

[MMC]

A first round pick and a top prospect have no value to the Ducks?

Not enough to make us give up our best goalscorer.

I hate the Ducks. I’m a Sharks fan

Fantastic. Gaudreau is also playing on a line with Lindholm and Monahan. Now before you go on saying that I’m saying he’s a byproduct of his line, he’s obviously not. Yes Gaudreau is obviously better. Yes Gaudreau is a step up from Rakell. Yes Gaudreau is worth more in this league. Yes the Ducks value Rakell like a damn superstar.

 

[Lunatik]

Don't worry because the Flames would never offer such an outlandish price for him anyways.

 

[pbgoalie]

I’d say too much from Calgary......
And Ducks still likely wouldn’t move a young, known quantity with a good contract
Given our need to retool and needing to control our costs



I’d think it’s hard to retool if we give up our best young players.

 

[CraigsList]

Overpayment for Rakell. But, Rakell is worth it.

Ducks shouldn't move him, Rakell is not the problem.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Too much from calgary,that being said i doubt rakell is moved.

Henrique or silf could be had tho

SIlf would be interesting if he was willing to sign an extension.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Rakell just isn't a player we should be selling off for picks and prospects/lesser pieces. The explanation from the Ducks perspective is extremely weak - they "need assets" like Rakell a lot more than they need D prospects, middle six forwards and late firsts. Also OP you are shopping in the wrong place if you are looking for a 2C upgrade anyway, Rakell has barely played center in recent years, plays his best on LW.

 

[QcFlames12]

Anahiem needs assets like Rakell. This deal does not make sense for them.
