Solid contending team. I would really like to see Kapanen come up and play RW with Kruger and Crouse on that third line. I believe the Crouse trade was a little bold as I do not think that would be enough to obtain him. Overall really like the D pairings you put together as well.

In my opinion it will cost a little more than JVR to obtain Theodore. Murray is going to want someone long term for a young D-man like Theodore. Better chance of getting Vatanen, plus JVR would have to waive his NTC.

Why does Arizona need Bozak when it costs them Crouse? They could just re-sign Hanzal instead and not give up any assets or sign Hanzal or another guy in the off-season. If Arizona takes Bozak they will give up picks lower end prospects, and or depth forwards/d-men.

Cheap Arizona isn't trading ELC Crouse with hope for 1 year of Bozak. Cost conscious Ducks aren't a possible mainstay of their defence for years for one year of JVR. Rather have Bozak at centre next year rather than Kruger.

Especially with the salary retention, I think its more than fair. But yea he's not the guy who will be traded.
