Bye bye trade captial

Bruins decline. Bruins would rather take a chance on a Center project than a Wing.

ANA is not parting with McTavish and they don't need any more picks

We must be living in different worlds thinking Anaheim is trading both McTavish and Mintyukov let alone in the same trade

Ducks aren't parting with those guys and neither are the Avs

LOL no.

Mintyukov > Byram (at age 20)

McTavish >>>>> COL 1st

Vatrano > Newhook (right now)

I'll give you that Newhook has a lot of long term upside but that is more than washed out by the Ducks depth at center (which includes McTavish, Zegras, Gaucher, Lundestrom and the 2OA pick).

We think that Mintyukov is going to turn out to be every bit as good as Byram, and maybe better.

We KNOW that McTavish is going to have more impact over his career than Newhook.

We'll give you Frankie and the Boston second for the first.

Byram's injury history is very concerning. It's not quite at Nick Robertson levels of concern, but it's not far off that.

The Ducks aren't in a position to be trading out young forwards. They should be trading for young forwards, specifically wingers.
