I think the price for EK is fine, but we cannot afford him long term. I’d totally do the Pysyk deal. I doubt FLA would, but I’d add or tweak it to make it work too. Beauch trade is also fine.

Line-up is atrocious.

Rakell - Getzlaf - Perry
Cogs - Kesler - Silf
Ritchie - Henrique - Kase
Wagner - Vermette - Brown

Lindholm - EK
Fowler - Manson
Larson - Pysyk

Makes the most sense.

Wasn’t really worried about the lineup but I will from now on in the rest of the series

Just use dailyfaceoff for up-to-date line combinations and try not to put players on their off sides i.e. EK plays right side and Lindholm players left.

I won't argue whether that's a fair price for EK or not, but that's too rich for Anaheim's blood. They'd have almost zero chance of re-signing him, and after giving up so much to get him, couldn't afford to let him walk summer after next, so they'd almost have to deal him before the next playoffs. That gives them one playoff run with him when the team currently isn't even a lock to make it, and EK is playing like a shadow of his former self. I'd pass.

Also, adding EK loses it's luster when I see Bieksa still in the lineup. That guy needs to go!
