No chance Anaheim trades their best D

No chance they trade him now, but maybe at the deadline if Anaheim is solidly in the running for Lafreniere. I suppose they'd prefer to move Fowler though of their LHD.

Easy decline for the ducks, and I'm a massive Bratt fan

Still no, Lindholm is still young, they're building around him,and is on a STEAL of a deal for a while, and to take a quote from chel, the value just isn't there whatsoever, trading a middle 6 F and a first doesn't get a top ten RD in the league

Now I don't see the Ducks moving Lindholm as much as the next guy, but let's keep in mind Kadri netted Kerfoot AND Barrie with retained salary.

So given that, is ge that far off in terms of market value?

Woah, top ten RD in the league, well if I knew that what you were valuing him i would have offered more. While I dont think Lindholm is top ten in the league (top 20 is a somewhat more reasonable value), I think the real issue is what the fans want of this season. The west is wide open enough for the last WC that playoffs are possible but It may be time for Ducks to sell off and begin a new build around Rakell,Manson,Comtois. I’m also not saying this deal happens immediately, the vantanen-henrique deal didnt happen till November. I dont think the value is that far off, especially if the Ducks get leapfrogged by the yotes and canucks

Who are you comparing Lindholm to, Barrie or Kadri?

Let's remember that Barrie has 1 year left on his deal, and that (in all likelihood) the Leafs are going to lose one or both of he and Muzzin for nothing when the season is over, because they won't be able to afford him.

Kerfoot was a nice get (3C), but Kadri was an established 2C, and would have continued to be if he wasn't behind Tavares and Matthews. Colorado got what they needed, and Toronto got a year of what they needed.

Biiiiiig difference between trading for Kerfoot/Barrie vs. trading for Lindholm.

Pretty sure Lindholm shoots left?

They'd probably take back Sami before MM.
They know him and he can play theeft side.
I agree it's not happening though

The avs also got Calle Rosen who is looking like hes going to be making the jump soon, and swapped out a 6th round for a 3rd. They upgraded from a 3C to a 2C, that costs marginally more, and gave up a D man they likely weren't re signing after this season.

Can't compare that trade with these kind of proposals. The Ducks will want a guy like hischier back for Lindholm.

I could have used Subban for a pair of deuces and a soare tire, but that didn't seem.right lol
