<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LimeyBarsteward</b></div><div>Here I disagree my brother from another mother (and father). There is a long history of playing rookie centers on the wing to allow them to acclimatize to the NHL without the pressure of being great defensively. In fact I would say that Mackinnon was moved to center too early. He took a step back after taking stazs center role.
Richie might well be a top center as his ceiling but he’s not going to be there yet. he would really benefit from time in the ahl that he won’t get so spreading out the learning curve will be important.</div></div>

Taking a step back is indicirive of learning a new position, no player moving from wing to developing at C at the NHL level is going to not have a hit in their points totals, especially doing so in a top 6 role.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>this statement has no ground base. we have at least 2 prospects (yager and blomqvist for sure and I wouldn't trade koivunen as well he is special) that we wouldn't even swap 1 for 1 with zegras... what are you talking about

plus any combo of pickering or broz plus some other assets is plenty for a guy like zegras.</div></div>

No, that isn't, those prospects are nothing special compared to guys in Anaheim system already, we have a flush system with tons of players with that potential, not an empty well like Pittsburgh, quantity trades have zero interest to us, and that's all Pitt has, and not much of it either.

To claim there's anything in Pitts system that you wouldn't trade 1 for 1 with Zegras because that piece is special is just fantasy land on your part bud. I am actually embarrassed for you.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>Fair enough on Necas. I just figured ANA was really looking for another R-shot forward for the long-term.

I agree that a better RD than Chat would be ideal but my scenario already has the best of the UFA crop going elsewhere. As I think ANA is still a couple years from competing, they'll likely have to settle for a less-than-ideal fill-in for a few years and I chose among the better ones left that would likely be interested in the opportunity for ice time in ANA.

I liked Faksa for the spot because I think be relatively in-demand (as far as cap dumps go) and would open up deployment options for their youth.

I'll keep the rest in mind in future iterations :)</div></div>

I like picking up Faksa as a 4C, I've proposed the idea a few times (though I sent McGinn the other way, he's slightly cheaper than faksa so still a cap savings)

As far as Zegras for Necas, Zegras is the far superior player when looking at advanced stats, leading me to believe Necas' production is a result of his current settings, not his own ability. He's a complimentary player who's fast enough to be in the right place at the right time, and he's no better defensively than Zegras, after this season, id argue he's actually worse.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SUPERCoachGM</b></div><div>Rental player on a tear of a year bolstered (in part) by linemates. If ur Anaheim u sell and keep building up the best prospect pool in the league. PPG player in Koivunen at Liiga + fmr 1st rndr in Pickering w/ a 2nd and 3rd. Far better rentals have for less.

Plus is Vatrano really going to want to return next season? Sell high while u can.</div></div>

At a certain point, you stop selling, and those prospects are nothing special in the Ducks system, so what's the point of adding more. We're trying to turn the corner next season, loosing one of our top scores torpedos that goal out of the gate.

Our cupboards are full, we don't need more middling talent, if we ship off Frank, it'll be at the deadline for a quality return.
