Pat Verbeek laughs hysterically and hangs up

pretty far off the ducks trade

Gudas has a full NTC and didn't sign with Toronto because he didn't want to play there.

So the trade stops there before we get into any of the rest of it.

Radko Gudas had already made it abundantly clear that he wanted no part of Canada, That joke of an offer doesn't get either player. And Gudas says Hell No.

if pat verbeek turned down a 1st liljegren and Niemala for gudas at the expense of holding onto to samsonov for the rest of the year and a buriable reaves, then he is not a smart gm

It doesn't matter what Pat Verbeek thinks, Radko Gudas has a full NTC so he has a say in where he goes. And he's not going to Toronto or any Canadian team so it's a moot point.

Gudas > Lilgeren+Niemela No reason for Verbeek to accept this.

Why would Verbeek be remotely interested in Samsonov with Gibson and Dostal in net, Once again verbeek passes.

Reaves has no value and why would Verbeek even want him? The entire trade is a joke.

I'm aware of that. but you said that joke offer doesnt get either player. the ducks wouldnt be bright if it was just gudas

It doesn't, because Gudas doesn't waive. And the rest of the trade aren't pieces that Anaheim needs. With Gibson and Dostal Verbeek doesn't need Samsonov so he's moot and Liljgren and Niemela aren't upgrades at RHD over what they already have in their pipeline This trade doesn't make Anaheim any better sorry.
