Merci Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Trade Kesler + Higgins to Anaheim for Etem + 10th overall from Ott + 25th overall from Ana Trade Stanton + Hansen + 25th from Anaheim for 7th overall from Carolina Why do we do this? Kesler is an elite player but he's 31 and it's unfair to him to try and make this rebuild work when he so desperately wants a cup. It's pointless to try and make it work if he ends up walking for nothing. He needs to be traded now. Why does Higgins go? Because Higgins is not a 2nd line player and our team has too many 3rd line players in the making for our draft future. Players like Gaunce and Matthias will never crack the 2nd line, and we need to fill the 2nd line with skill, speed, and scoring. Higgins has all these things but his size, and finish isn't what it needs to be for us to be successful. Why does Stanton and Hansen go? Mainly because Yannik Weber has been nothing but clutch going down the stretch, the guy has a Salo like shot and if we decide to harnass it while Corrado is our 7th dman we're in a better spot than with Stanton who absolutely has zero shot. I know our season fell apart when he got injured but the 7th overall pick can solidy our offensive needs for years. and he doesn't bring the offensive flair we need our Dmen to. So at the draft we pick 6: Nick Ritchie 7: Jake Virtanen 10. Nylander, Kapanen, or Ehlers Team next year: Sedin Sedin Jensen Burrows Santorelli Kassian Matthias Horvat Etem Richardson Gaunce Archibald Lain Edler Garrison Hamhuis Bieksa Tanev Weber Corrado Year after that: Sedin Sedin Jensen Shinkaruk Etem Kassian Matthias Horvat Burows Richardson Gaunce Ritchie Fox Edler Garrison Hamhuis Bieksa Tanev Weber Corrado Year after that (Contend for Stanely Cup) Jensen Henrik Kassian Shinkaruk Etem Virtanen Ritchie Horvat Nylander/Kapanen Richardson Gaunce Matthias Santorelli Archibald Fox Edler Corrado Hamhuis Tanev Bieksa Garrison Lack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Sock Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I like the first trade and think it could work but I don't see Carolina accepting the second trade. They move down 18 spots to get a recent waiver pick up and a 3rd liner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
