I dont think Allvin trades this year's first in all honesty but stranger things have happened - and if you are doing that ducks trade, henrique is probably the 2C. Suter hasn't had any mojo there

Good post much more realistic deadline.IMHO.

I don't think Kuzmenko for Vatrano is in the cards. Frank was signed for more than just depth scoring, and if Verbeek has a problem with Zegras's defensive play, he's going to blow a gasket with Kuzmenko.

I'm not staying franks untouchable, but it would probably take a YUGE offer to get him, as he's there to teach the kids never to give up.

We're expecting a 2nd and a B prospect for Henrique, so moving from a late second to a late first doesn't make up the gap between Vatrano and Kuzmenko.

Like my esteemed colleague @GiggyWithGibby said, Cronin might have a hemorrhage with Kuzmenko’s defense. Vatrano is gonna have to cost an overpay to be sold away from the Ducks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s extended.

I'm not gonna squabble here too much about the Pens trade, but this deal only happens if we're out of the race come the deadline, and if we did, Ruhwedel can fetch more than a 7th. Much more? No, but he's gonna get a 5th at the very least.

The Ducks could get more than that elsewhere. I wish they would accept it, but I doubt it

Anaheim decline.
Penguins accept.
Can’t see Pat Maroon in a Canucks jersey, and Minnesota doesn’t want to trade him.

I don't think MN (barring some massive turnaround) has any problem trading Maroon at the TDL. I don't think Maroon (m-ntc) cancels a trade to a Playoff team. He hasn't been a good fit with the MN's new coach either.
