I'm sorry but you really don't know what you're doing and just have yourself 5 stars.. that trade doesn't address any need of the Ducks. The ducks need to shed cap and get skilled wingers. Multiple wingers. Pulkkinen is a start, but that's basically where the value ends in that trade for ANA. Bertuzzi is old trash and Marchenko is another dman to get stuck in ANA's logjam of such players.
Your real lack of awareness however is more evident in your RFA signings and more importantly the lines. Lindholm will get less, Rakell will get $1m more, Vatanen plays on the right, Despres the left, Thompson is injured until the trade deadline, and Shea Theodore is far better than Marchenko -not to mentioned earned the spot. Just about the only thing you did right was keeping Getzlaf at center and keeping Boll off the bench completely
