<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>Mason was not protected and Theodore was not available:

https://www.nhl.com/news/protected-list-for-vegas-golden-knights-nhl-expansion-draft-289972722

From that article...

All first- and second-year professionals are <strong>exempt </strong>from selection, as are unsigned draft choices.

The source you quoted calling these guys "protected but not counting towards the team's total" is really strange wording. Much easier to call them exempt, which is what they were. Theodore played 19 games in 15/16 and 34 games in 16/17 for the Ducks prior to the draft. The two seasons he played less than 10 games in the AHL didn't count as his contract slid in those.

An additional part of Murray's bungle here was giving Bieska, who was almost washed as a player at that point, a full NMC. All players with such clauses required protecting and that meant the Ducks protected Fowler, Lindholm and Bieska. Protecting Manson instead of Bieska would have been an alternate way around trading Theodore.</div></div>

well that's a capfriendly problem, I used their expansion draft simulator and theodore was available, manson was too I just must've missed him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I think we need to be more realistic here. Is this enough for those 2 Ducks? No. But I don’t think it’s off as much as we’re suggesting.

Henrique (retained) = ‘24 1st value (in this year’s market based on Monahan/Lindholm)
Vatrano = 1st + good prospect

Kakko &lt;= contender’s 1st (I’d value the first more, but barely)
Kakko &gt;&gt; contender’s 2nd (he’s 23, defensively sound, and had a 40 point NHL season last year as a prior 2nd OA pick)

There’s no way we could assume that we’d get Kakko and a 2 for Henrique (almost a 1st and 2nd in value). Henrique for Kakko straight up should be relatively fair value (especially considering Kakko’s age and RFA status)

Having said that, the rest of that package doesn’t come close to Vatrano. So this should be stripped out</div></div>

Our fundamental misalignment is Kakkos value. He's closing in on 300 NHL games played and the best he has managed to accomplish is a single 40 point season. None of his other seasons were even on pace for 40, they were down on the 30s or 20s. For me, he's Puljujarvi 2.0, he's worth taking a flyer on, not worth paying much for. I personally question if the Rangers even QO him this off-season after having such a huge slump from his previous meager totals.

Maybe we can rehabilitate his career, but it's not like the guy hasn't been surrounded by star talent, and he's been through three head coaches, none of which seem to have much confidence in him. I don't place any stalk in his draft position anymore, I don't know that there's much upside left there. At best he turns into a prime Jakob Silfverberg if we can fully rehab him.

Sujet: Trying to find a Zegras trade that de-risks the trade for Anaheim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>"Vast" is a stretch. With Hindsight we know now that Faber is getting plenty of Calder talk in the same year that Connor Bedard is a rookie. But even at the time of the trade he was a NCAA kid chosen to represent the US at the Olympics. He was a top notch prospect then as much as he is today.

Farrell is "meh". You clearly like him. I like him a lot less. A 2nd round pick three drafts from now is also a long way off to get excited about.

I think the overall offer here is good enough to strongly consider, but I really don't think you are blowing the Ducks doors off.</div></div>

Then the offer sounds right! A deal is supposed to be painful for both sides, not an obvious win for one or the other.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I'm not so sure about that old friend, I think the need for a #1RHD and the strength of that position in this draft, I'm thinking we go Leshunov if he's available.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>Ducks still need that #1 RD and trading Drysdale further opened the door to taking a defenseman in this D-heavy draft class. If he's on the board when they pick the choice will be Levshunov IMO. Neither Warren nor Helleson have a ceiling any where close to what Levshunov would bring into the organization.</div></div>
Well, Levshunov was my first thought last month when the subject first came up, but everyone started talking about Eiserman. Nevertheless, I still think that Verbeek and the scouting staff will pick a forward, although naturally I won't be disappointed if they select Levshunov.

With quality offense on the LD, I think that we can succeed with complementary players at RD; the need for a star is lessened, in my view. But I may be ploughing my own lonely furrow here.
