Fixing Hextall Mistakes

The Anaheim trade is fine on value, but if Ryan Johnson and Jackson LaCombe sign with the Ducks as expected, to add to Pavel Mintyukov and Olen Zellweger, I think that we're pretty well set for NHL-close prospects on that side, so even though Joseph is ahead of them in development, he isn't really someone we need. But I wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles had some discussions about him.

Hawks decline. If you're dumping cap space then you're including a pick. If your intent was to acquire value in this trade I'd suggest you find another team.

No, because Anaheim doesn't need young LHD, not only doesn't need young LHD, actively don't want young LHD.

We need an experience, large, defense first top 4 partner for Drysdale, and that is the only LHD we have any interest in.

Nope, just chose you guys randomly. Trade is for any team that would take it

Gee, and all you did was say "would any team be interested?" My inner curmudgeon wants to say "How could he have known?" But CapFriendly frowns on discourtesy, and rightly so -- people like me should be reined in.
