[Proposal] VAN-ANA Trade Deadline Deal


Recommended Posts

I'm hesitant on proposing this since it involves trading my favourite Canuck and it would only need to be done if the Canucks go in a complete decline towards the end of the season. Even worse is that this is all inter-divisional. Still:

To Anaheim:

-Hamhuis

-Shinkaruk

To Vancouver:

-Lindholm

-15' 1st

-16' 2nd (becomes 1st if Anaheim makes it to the Conference Finals)

-15' 3rd

Ducks wouldn't do it. That package likely wouldn't even get Lindholm alone, nevermind all the picks involved.

Lindholm is already a solid defenceman and is only going to get better. Hamhuis is unfortunately going to decline in the near future. Doesn't make sense for the Ducks to make this trade.

Anaheim's defensive game is not good enough to get past the Kings so they may be desperate. Also Shinkaruk could very well become a first liner. Not to mention, they have Fowler for their puck moving and Hamhuis still carries a lot of value.

They got to game 7 vs the Kings last year. Ducks got better this year and Kings got worse, so I don't know if they'll be too desperate. Even if they are, they could probably trade some of their young forwards for help on defence instead of trading Lindholm.

Sure Shinkaruk could become a 1st liner, but so could any of those picks they'd be giving away.

Wouldn't be enough to get Lindholm away.

Hamhuis is ageing, although his defensive awareness is off the hooks, he doesn't have that "overall" ability we are looking from him anymore.

And Shinkaruk isn't as a highly touted prospect and his trade value isn't up there to match Lindholm's, They wouldn't want to give away there 2015 1st rounder and 2015 3rd rounder as well in this type of package.

I agree with those that say Anaheim wouldn't do it. It's awful from a Ducks point of view.

Present: Hamhuis vs Lindholm. At best a wash. Is Hamhuis an upgrade on Lindholm even now? I'd suggest not.

Future: They lose LIndholm and 1st, 2nd and 3rd round draft choices for Shinkaruk.
