<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Not really, Bruz is a better prospect than Lohrei imo, and has the higher upside, then you add a late first (similar to Vancouvers) and a C-B prospect. Not nearly as high of a return as the Lindy trade.</div></div>

I think you misunderstood my post. You're saying that the comp to acquire Hanfin (a left-handed dmen) is the same as the cost to acquire Lindholm (a centerman). The reality is that centers go for a premium, especially 1st line centers. If CGY can get the same deal for Hanifin that they got for Lindholm then they 100% are taking someone to the cleaners.

As for the rest of your post. Lohrei was top 10 in NCAA scoring among d-men last season and played all-situations. He played between the AHL (nearly a PGP player) &amp; NHL this season. He's a 6'4 smooth skating d-man that's a converted forward, but still decent defensively. Both guys are projected to be top 4 d-men if they hit their ceiling.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Hanifin is worth more than that. Look at the Lindy trade and lower the price by a fourth round pick. Lohrei a first and another prospect would get it done. If Lohrei is too much, replace him with Beecher and a third.</div></div>

What is the better deal?

Grz, Beecher, a 2025 first and a 2025 third

Or

Grz, Lohrei, and a 2026 second rounder

I’d personally take the second deal if choosing between the two. The question is what another team would offer comparatively with him being a rental with some strong rumors about a desired free agent destination which has money, need, a GM that is known to covet him, and the tie of the hometown team where he is close to his family.

I think sometimes as fans in this situation, we overvalue first round and second round picks compared to prospects. Doing well at the AHL or NHL level in terms of showing a usable skill set kills a significant percentage of prospect dreams

I’d probably ask for a secondary prospect with upside that fills a position of need if were Calgary. Could easily see them target an Oscar Jelvik type who is playing really well at BC

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Korax</b></div><div>Too much additions to the core. You will change your core too much and create inbalance VS what made you go into playoff in the first place (kinda like what happened last year with Kane and Tarasenko)</div></div>

Adding 2 depth pieces vs adding 2 guys that were power play guys… very different. This is more comparable to adding Copp and Vatrano. Kane was extremely injured and was a powerplay guy. Senko was decent too but what kill them in the playoffs was actually the coach changing the powerplay completely. Then somehow managed to be goalied by a hot streak from the kid. NJ was by far the faster team but we dominated in every other way except for their G stood on his head. Don’t think he has even played a game as good as he did in playoffs since

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Maybe a protected 1st instead of the 2nd, I don't think it's too rediculous, especially with Verbeek</div></div>

I'm not sure what you're implying here. Is it that the players are right up Verbeek's alley? Or that they're just that good? Cause depending on what you mean, I could point you to which reason I think you're wrong.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>batman</b></div><div>you finna get hate on this one mate. ducks fans finna go crazy on you. its fair tho. wouldn't give much more than that. not very thrilled to lose mailloux but would do it.</div></div>

To be perfectly fair, before even getting to the players involved a lot of Ducks fans are gonna have a problem with the why of all this.

I find it odd that so many people's first conclusion is that this must mean Zegras has to go too. The reason the Ducks made the trade was because the group of young forwards the team had in house was lacking. You trade Drysdale because you believe the back end depth can absorb it. If you trade away Zegras you've defeated the purpose of the whole thing, especially if the big piece coming back is a puck moving offensive defenseman.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>I think NJ does not commit to Markstrom. Hanifin imo is a smart add as a long term piece.
When everyone is healthy it's a pretty good team add a ufa or 1 yr left G and we're good. Small adds tdl for playoff push</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>If that came with extension for Hanifin around $6m to $6.5m...I'd wouldn't complain.

I doubt we make such a move in season though.</div></div>

Devils cant make Hanafin work Longterm for Money reasons with Mercer getting an extension this year, luke and Holtz the year after, and Nemec in for a monster raise the next. Let alone McLeod getting the contract he deserves if he keeps it up. The cap is going to rise 3-4 mil a year for 3 years and then rise around 1-2 every year after. I'm more than happy to let it ride with Nemec this year since hes been great but there is no world where Hanafin fits under the cap for the next 6-8 years
