I think we talked about this before... ducks and oiler fans
1st + broberg/bouchard + pick/prospect(maybe pulj)… ducks could potentially take back cap if needed, was the general basis.
I do think rakell would be a great winger for Mcdavid tho
Rakell Mcdavid Kassian
RNH Drai Yamamoto

A 1st, a top defensive prospect and a decent roster piece. Given his contract, Rakell has a load of value - you don’t often see 50-70 point forwards who earn less than $4M.
I would want from Edmonton
Broberg/Bouchard
A first (can be top 3 protected but nothing lower than that)
And someone young handy who can play in the NHL right now.

Shit rakell might score 80+ w/ McDavid and the oilers powerplay.... granted I feel like oiler fans know of rakells skill better than most fan bases... as he seems to do his best hockey vs Edmonton.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence his production went down as Getzlaf declined. Give him an elite playmaking C again and he would be putting up closer to 75 points (or higher) than the 55 he’s currently pacing for.

Why would the Ducks trade their best young player? Makes no sense.
Especially within the conference.

Looking at Broberg and a 1st for Rakell probably. Personally I’d pay that price.
Holland likely doesn’t trade his first big draft pick with the org and likely doesn’t ship out major assets for a guy playing at a 45 to 55 point clip for this season and last.

Rakell would be nice but Bouchard/Broberg + 1st + another prospect is a king’s ransom. Rakell is pacing for back to back 45 ish point seasons. I wouldn’t give up all that for him.
I feel like we could get similar production out of a guy like Athanasiou at half the price.

His trade value.
Ya trading rakell to Edmonton would be awkward…. at the same time its not like hes going to beat us in the playoffs, that doenst seem like its on our calender the next 2.5 seasons.

Hes pacing at 53 points, on a shitty Anaheim team with a very shitty powerplay.
If you think his pace will go down playing top line mins with an elite 1c(getzlaf isn't really that anymore) then idk what to tell you.
I understand Anaheim would not want to trade Rakell, but this price is ludicrous.

that’s fair, but I’m not willing to give up assets based on his “but with McDavid” production. Broberg+1st+more is *a lot*. We’ve already got the top power play in the NHL, there’s only so much ice to go around and there’s only one puck.

Im pretty sure you are adding a player like Rakell to give mcdvaid some skill on his line, because you have RNH Drai and yammo on your 2nd line.

Rakell was at 50-point-pace last year, same this year
Seems like he has significantly regressed since 2017-18.
His value is nowhere near what it used to be, and he's not even playing all the games.
Rackell is an excellent player and would be a marvel beside CMcD. Can see him being a 75-85 point player.
Value is 1st rnd pick ( top 10 protected ) + Broberg

Or we can just keep em and pair him up with Zegras. I have no problem keeping Rakell. Never know we can also pair him up with
Lafrenier - Zegras - Rakell
Lafrenier Left handed and Rakell right handed. I’ll pay bukoo dollars to see that.

Getzlaf regressed... which affected rakells game.... i think you put him back with elite center and his production goes back.
Hes not a guy thatll carry a team, but he compliments skilled players well.

then we’re circling back to the conversation about why we’re paying a premium for a 50 point player that’s getting a McBump.

okay, but in the Getzlaf thread it’s all about how he’s bounced back and is having a great season and looks like his old self. That hasn’t translated to production from Rakell.
I get not wanting to move him to a division rival but the asking price is kind of ridiculous based on what he’s done the last two years.

Doesnt need to be mcdavid any skilled center... its not surprise rakell tore up the world cup along side zibanejad.
But i dont care either way, im fine keepin him for zegras.
