<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Mores always better

Imo it’s close but not the correct amount for Dubois. I’m very high on Dubois but I also know he’s NOT worth what some people are demanding and at the same time he’s been lowballed just as much.

I think the ducks are actually a good fit that I didn’t think of. But here’s what I would offer other fans can weigh in <a href="/users/HadesOfSoCal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@HadesOfSoCal</a> <a href="/users/csick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@csick</a> <a href="/users/OldNYIfan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@OldNYIfan</a> <a href="/users/SevenLeg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@SevenLeg</a> <a href="/users/bhavikp27" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bhavikp27</a> <a href="/users/KakkoForMauriceRichardAward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</a> (as well as op and Theo)

Henrique
Perrault or Lundestrom (lunde is worth more so maybe change the pick to like top 15 protected?)
2021 First (top 8-10 protected)

I think that fits both teams. Perrault has more of a chance to be better than what terry already is (I like terry but I think he’ll just be a nice bottom 6 guy [which isn’t bad seeing as guys like Goodrow make huge differences]). If it’s Lundestrom it’s not worth it as much for Anaheim but it makes it much more likely for CBJ to accept. I’m very iffy on offering a first with either prospect but I feel it’s a necessity. Thoughts?</div></div>

I think it's interesting that most of the commenters here value just about every other prospect over Terry. I picked him because I thought CBJ would prefer NHL players to prospects and Terry is the most capable young NHLer the Ducks currently have in my eyes (not including Zegras, as I think he is already better Than Terry but is untradeable in my eyes). Maybe I'm wrong about what CBJ would want back in a deal but with where their team is right now it seemed like trading for middle six prospects wasn't the best move for them.

Sujet: Sprong for Honka
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheJoeMan</b></div><div>No, Honka would impact Guhle and Mahura on the depth chart. It doesn't matter that he plays the right side, better d-men are better d-men and the handedness of a player doesn't solely impact where he is on the depth chart. By that rationale that means Holzer is higher on the depth chart than one or Larsson, Guhle and Del Zotto and that's just crazy. I mean if we acquired Honka for like a pick or a disposable prospect like Sherwood, whatever. But like you said, Sprong has value (not to mention we gave up a quality, young RHD to get him in the first place) so I'd rather not give up on him yet.

I'm content with where we're at right now. Yeah, we'll have a guy playing on his opposite side but so what? I don't think it's worth diluting the group as a whole simply so all three pairs can pass and receive the puck on their forehand.</div></div>

Pettersson was left handed by the way but regardless, we would be trading from a position of strength bc the Stars have shown their hand, they're in a corner with Honka right now and also we have a large number of young wingers particularly on the right side. If we play Sprong I can't see him cracking the top 6 and then we're just wasting his development the same way the Pens were. So why waste an asset when we could turn it into a player that fills a hole and wouldn't be sitting as a healthy scratch.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>klondikebar</b></div><div>i get your idea, but Laine is worth more than that. He's an elite goal scorer with huge upside. The return for him is one you would get from a normal top 6 forward, but hes better than that. The Jets are also in a spot where all they would want for Laine is proven elite NHL talent. What would work though is that trade proposal but for Nikolaj Ehlers.</div></div>

I was contemplating going for Ehlers, but I think I would rather have Laine even if we needed to give up more. How much more are you talking about, maybe throw in like Josh Mahura and another pick? I didn't really want to move out any of the good roster talent, that defeats the purpose of it being a quick transition.
EDIT: I think the contract implications are also important in this trade and part of the reason why Laine's value may be lower than what it should be.

Sujet: Sprong for Honka
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheJoeMan</b></div><div>The way I see it Mahura is behind Larsson, Guhle, Del Zotto and maybe even Hakanpaa (we're really have no idea about him). We'll have to get hit with all kinds of injuries or he needs to make a huge jump in his development to hop over all of those guys. A year down in San Diego being their top guy should be good for him.

As for the trade... meh. I'd rather let Guhle and Larsson get a serious look to stick around. Sprong has 20-goal potential and makes nothing. I'd rather stick with him. I'm really not sure where all the interest in Honka is coming from. Considering his age and contract, if he were any good Dallas would just hold onto him. The fact they want to move him is a big red flag for me.</div></div>
Honka does not impact Guhle or Mahura becuase Honka plays the right side. Mahura probably doesn't have a shot at the NHL this year, so I think it also fine in that regard as well.

The interest I have in Honka for the Ducks is that
1) he plays the right as previously mentioned, that will fill the hole there and I would rather a young player than someone like MDZ or Holzer there.
2) Dallas in my eyes kind of sucks at not only identifying and picking top talent with their first round picks, they also suck at developing the players they do take with those picks. I believe Honka falls into both those categories, he probably shouldn't have gone 14th OA, but at the same time the Stars are kind of brutalizing his development path by not playing him at all and playing with people who do not complement his style.
3) The Ducks, as most people know by now are extremely strong on the player development side of the organization, we could take on Honka for almost nothing as reclamation project from a team who very clearly wants him out (based on their free agent signings) and develop him back to at least some of what he was touted as that made him appealing enogh for the stars to take 14th OA.

While I do believe Sprong can bring a good goal scoring element to the team in the coming seasons, his hockey sense is unfortunately very subpar and hockey sense is something that you can't really teach (case study: Nick Ritchie). With Sprong being a healthy scratch multiple times at the end of the season I would much rather trade him for a new asset. On top of it all, Sprong may actually be more valuable than Honka (considering Sprong is on a team friendly deal and Honka is unsigned) which could allow the Ducks to pry more than just Honka away from the Stars. Possibly Honka + 3rd for Sprong + 5th? Line mate wise, I do believe Fowler would be the correct partner for Honka. This may just be me reminiscing about the Fowler/Despres pair that I love so much, but i think this has those elements and could help to produce more offense from both players.

Sujet: Wild Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildwinswhen</b></div><div>Who is defending the blue line on PP1? You know that Dumba isn't doing it and I really don't trust Zucker back there.

I see what you did on Koivu's line. "Maybe if he's with Parise they won't realize they're on L3." But there's no way that Koivu isn't our C2, PP1, and PK1 when he's back. He's too valuable on the dot to be anything else.

Zuccarello and Fiala as the wings on the PK? Not a chance. Fiala has never seen a puck he couldn't turn over. I'm expecting Foligno and Hartman as the wings on the PK. Foligno did a great job there last year.</div></div>

With regard to the PP1, the NHL has moved more and more towards a 4 forward system. According to <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/minnesota-wild/line-combinations/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/minnesota-wild/line-combinations/</a> Zucker did play the backend on the PP2. I believe he can help provide more offense to the PP1. And believe it or not Dumba also played the backend on PP1 last season too because he is a very talented offensive defenseman.

About the PK, you're right about Fiala, I probably shouldn't have put him there in the first place. Zuccarello however I believe has speed and a very good two way play which will be good for the PK. I believe he did play on the PK for the Rangers as well as for the Stars though his time there was very limited.

Sujet: Frickin Perry
Trade Perry because I guess he needs to go apparently. I am not quite sure who to trade Perry to, but the Jackets are very under the cap and most likely will not have Bob or Bread Man returning so they'll need some salary and Perry for two years will be ok on the 3rd line for them I think. The Andrew Peeke dude may be too valuable, but I do not know the Jackets farm system that well and they do not have picks to take in return. Trade Sprong because he has value and was also in and out of the lineup alot. I picked the Avs becuase they'll have already taken a very good player with 4th OA pick and are also on the upswing of their rebuild and could use more developed talent rather than waiting for prospects. Sprong will be a good depth scoring option for them which if I remember correctly they have approximately none of. Sign Karlsson so we can have the Swedish Connection on defense. Draft Caulfield because the Ducks need his pure goal scoring talent, there's a chance he may fall to 9 but I also think he may get taken earlier than 9 as well. If we cannot have Caufield, Boldy would be just fine as well (although I am still sour on college free agents). Draft Moritz Seider becuase we will eventually want a right side defenseman once Manson leaves and we don't resign him (please), and Seider fits the bill. Draft Pelletier because he can bring very high level playmaking and speed to the wing.
