Crouse will easily return a 1st if traded

Steel is finally playing well. Not the time to trade him. And honestly the ducks just need to get healthy and then the top 9 should look good as long as Eakins dying love for Grant on the 3rd line disappears.

Milano-Z-Rakell
Henrique-Getz-Terry
Comtois-Lundestrom-Steel
Des-Carrick-Silf

Fingers crossed. Would love the Crouse add but doubt that’s all he costs

The Covid thing is so frustrating. I thought we played one of the best games of the season last night, holding one of the two favorites for the Stanley Cup to a 1-0 score plus an empty-netter while missing FOUR out of our top ten guys.

I'm fast becoming convinced that whether we make the playoffs or not depends almost exclusively on how badly we lose man-games to injury or illness.

Don’t drink the Kool Aid boys. Not the year to buy. Trade the 3 UFAs before they get hurt and take your chances with the remaining of the roster. It’s better to add another layer of young home grown talent to support Z during his prime years. We could potentially have 4 1st rounders at the draft if Solomon sells the rentals (especially if he retains 50% in all 3 contracts)

After TDL

Comtois - Z - Perrault
Rico - Getzy - Terry
Jones - Lundestrum - Silf
DLo - Carrick - Robinson

Fowler - Drysdale
Thrun - Shatty
Benoit - Pateryn

Not sure on the health of Milano that’s why he isn’t there, takes Perrault spot
Steel can plug in the top 9 depending on health issues.
Grant plugs in the fourth line
Mahura replaces Benoit or Pateryn

(Obviously Thrun depends if he signs once the NCAA wraps up)
