top 15 draft pick with a B quality prospect that fills a need (offensive minded RHD or goal scoring winger) as the minimum for me.What return seems reasonable to you?

but he literally has no value to us. We have Larsson, Curran, Djoos, Guhle, Mahura, and Hakanpaa all as bottom pairing defensemen going into next season. So Russell only takes up a roster spot, blocking a younger defensemen from getting ice time, and adding cap to a team already with only $470k cap space. he may hold some value to other teams, but he holds no to negative value to us. not sure how this is some crazy concept.
What a silly statement. The 14th OA remains a great pick regardless, and Russell is:
1. A legit NHL defensemen,
2. Has a cap hit of $4 Million and only $1.5 Million is real dollars and
3. Has only one year left on his contract.
Hardly a terrible burden you play him up to be.

Most of the offers in this thread are absolute garbage, especially after what Kapanen just went for.
Norlinder has potential for 2nd or third. Romanov a solid stud 4th. Harris 3-4? Strubble on 3rd pair. There are no issues here, just potential trade value when the roster fills out. We just keep what works best and trade the rest.And where does Norlinder fit in? We would have Struble, Norlinder and Romanov on the left side.

Still on board with either a deal around Domi or 16th+ Juulsen/Fleury.
Norlinder, Romanov and Harris can all play both sides. Also something about not counting your chickens before they're hatched. Trading Struble now could bite you in the ass if he booms (of course he could also bust so it would be well done). He was trending well at the end of the year, so I would like to see more. We have 2-4 years before having to make this decision.
So feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but Juulsen/Fleury both seem like bottom pairing guys maybe with top 4 potential. If that is the case then that isn't who the Ducks should be going for IMO. They have enough defensemen in their early 20s that look to have that exact outlook.
Domi is interesting because he fills a need, but his contract is a question mark.
I think I would rather commit to a full rebuild and get the picks. Getting Domi just keeps the Ducks mediocre.
I think rhd in Juulsen or fleury are okay pieces, guess it depends on what pick the 2nd rounder is.So feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but Juulsen/Fleury both seem like bottom pairing guys maybe with top 4 potential.

I was under the impression young RD was an area of interest? I'm fine with 16th+2nd if you prefer.

I really don't understand why we're discussing futures for Rakell. Nothing BM has said has suggested that he will make moves like that. If anything his comments suggest he wants to add, not subtract, Domi has been one of the few offers that makes some sense but will also cost the Ducks more money now and Domi comes with more questions than Rakell.
Many Habs fans would do this...
- 16th OA
- Fleury or Blues 2nd
for
- Rakell

If he holds no value to your team, cool. However there are way too many posters who have painted him as having a Lucic level contract which is nonsense. His being in the proposal does not make the 14 OA worthless. That's just dumb.
This is complete hyperbole. No one said or implied his addition makes the 14OA worthless. They said it makes it less attractive.
It's 4M in salary for a a player they have no spot in the roster for... its not rocket science to figure out that a similar pick with a player they do need (or a least have a spot for) would be a more desirable option
You can't attach Russel to that pick and expect it to still hold any type of value. That's not a good deal for the Ducks. You would need another good piece added for the inclusion of Russel.
Literally what was stated in this thread.
Would it be fair to say there's still more top 4 hope for Brook than the other RHD prospects mentioned?

Ducks trying to add and not on retool/reset where they focus on futures for a season or two would be a mistake. You'd be stuck in mid pack range at best.
Habs won't trade Domi for Rakell straight up. Rakell is 2 years older and Domi is RFA controlled for 2 years. We would have to do something like this...
- Domi
- Blues 2nd (57th)
for
- Rakell
- Bruins 1st (27th)
At the same time I think ott has Forward pieces to sub in for those rhd , to make a decent trade... or just draft picksI could see a deal like this on draft day with Brook instead of Fleury (as proposed elsewhere). It would depend on a player the ducks really like being available at 16.
One other factor as to why the ducks don't trade for Brook or Fleury now. If the ducks end up drafting Drysdale at 6, then they might not be looking to add another RHD.
Domi is going to cost more than Rakell on his new contract - not sure if that matters. And, obviously, Rakell is willing to play wing.
