If they trade Zegras for PLD I will cry on behalf of all ducks fans

That'd be hilarious

I’m hoping to see a Laine-PLD swap

Can't see it not being Steel as the young piece going back

Tbh same. Would end this farce once and for all.

It would also be fun

Would probably be the first time the 2nd and 3rd overall picks of the same year get swapped 1-on-1

Didn’t even think ab that

I think Rakell and Steel would be two of the essential elements Columbus would want as part of any trade (I've heard that they're on record as wanting a "hockey trade" rather than futures as the primary feature[s]). I think that the third element would be one of Heinen/Jones/Milano (Comtois is expansion-draft-exempt) or our 2021 first. I don't think DuBois is worth four pieces.

Well they are not wanting Milano back, and Heinen and Jones seem a tad meh to me.

Just saying that if the rumor of Jets offering Laine+Roslovic is true, the Ducks would have to give an absolutely insane return to outbid the Jets. I don't think my current offer tops that.

For the sake of Ducks I hope they're not including Zegras or Drysdale.

Don't worry -- Murray isn't considering trading Zegras or Drysdale for an instant.

I think Rakell, Steel and the first is a slightly better offer than yours. I think that Columbus is looking for immediate help at center to replace DuBois.

Dunno if Steel really is an upgrade over Domi or Texier. He won't bring much TOP6 center help in that regard

Just feel like Comtois is more the kind of guy Torts would want in his team.

Steel is better defensively than Comtois, Domi or Texier, and Comtois' status as expansion-draft-exempt makes him effectively untouchable.

Well the initial rumor was true after all...

WOW!!

I'll have to think this one over!
