Thread: 16/17 Ducks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ducks11</b></div><div><i>I can't imagine the Leafs wanting to take Andersen, Stoner and retain $2M. That means they would be basically paying Andersen and Stoner $10.25M/year. You could get a much better goalie/defenseman combo for $10M.

Also, really hope Pirri won't get as much as Rakell. He had a decent year a while back, but was injured/scratched a majority of the past season. If he wants $3M, you let him walk. The Ducks let Perrault walk and I think he was better at the time.</i></div></div>

That would be a bridge deal for Rakell, that's the only reason he'd make close to what Pirri might, and Pirri has arbitration rights, so getting him super cheap might not be possible. I agree though, if Pirri is looking for much beyond a couple million, cut him loose.

Solid proposal from the OP, very realistic. I'm not in love with that 3rd line though, and I think I'd prefer an affordable roster player for Despres rather than just a pick (though a Coyotes 2nd is great value), so maybe that can solve itself with another trade option.

Thread: Ducks w/ Nash
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>danzhock10</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Palhal</b></div><div><i>Hi DTN, no sure if the Ducks really want to trade Andersen, but you're correct they need a goalie in return....and more.</i></div></div>

Um..no. The Ducks have a goalie waiting behind Gibson--Bobkov. If they moved Andersen, they have the depth of Gibson-Bobkov ready to go. They have Khudobin, now..if need be, he can be re-signed for depth purposes. If the Ducks need a goalie, they could likely get Skapski in the Nash deal.</i></div></div>

???

Bobkov is gone, he was an ECHL goalie at best and when the Ducks elected not to give him a qualifying offer, he went to the KHL. Khudobin also already said he would play in the KHL next season. So the Ducks don't really have goalie depth to speak of beyond Andersen and Gibson. They might re-sign Tokarski for the Gulls, and Hackett is still trying to show that he can hang in the AHL.

Murray definitely needs to move one of his goalies to save money, and he'll need to find a cheap, reliable backup afterwards. DontTradeNash is right on with what he proposed. And overall, it's not a bad roster proposal, his trades and contract values are pretty realistic. I just don't see Nash being the right target for this team, we need cheaper young talent that can grow with the team, and Nash is on the decline.
