Philly doesn't need Ned, and if they wanted him this summer they could just sign him since he is a UFA.

OTT declines. Not enough value to move Chabot, plus these aren't the pieces they'd be looking for. If they move Chabot, they won't be bringing back a LD at all.

I'm not a fan. I think there's too much focus on improving the defense and not enough on the forward depth. Even at the way they're playing this year, I think Raks and Smith are upgrades over Vrana and Duclair.
There's no point in aquiring Chabot and his $8M cap hit and then playing him on the 3rd pairing.
Why are we aquiring Holloway for Guentzel and then not playing him in the NHL? I'd bet on him taking a step forward over a vet like Vrana or Labanc.

I know you chose Anaheim as a stand-in for "Any Team," but for the record, the Ducks won't be trading for a LhD anytime soon.

why are we giving up draft assets for a backup goalie?

Oh, we're not. No from PHI
