Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 In keeping with the trend of late from Jim Benning making trades for prospects further along in devekopment but lacking a chance on a current contender I thought of Shea Theodore. Anaheim has a lot of playmaking dmen ahead of theodore and I think he is expendable in anaheim. They already have Fowler and Vatanen. Aquired Wishniewski. On top of that young dmen like simon depres and hampus lindholm. Not to mention beauchemin and stoner as vets. What would we be able to trade to anaheim to get theodore?

Zoolander Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Much prefer Theadore over Clendening. His value is high though, so maybe a good hockey trade, prospect-for-prospect, and add a vet to even it out and help Anaheim's cup-chances. Jensen/Cassels + Higgins --> Theodore+ minor piece.

Kaner Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Trust me, everyone wants a Shea Theodore. 1st round pick, highly skilled and offensively minded young defensman with tons of potential, local kid, big body etc. The list could go on for days. I think I could see Ducks trading him, but not to us. He would be a very nice addition though, and would surely speed up our retool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 He's a guy I really wanted to nab in the Kesler deal. It would be huge if we could figure out a way to get him. He was great in the World Jr tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Expensive. We can afford to lose a RW, but I dono if they really need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Or just draft one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There are probably teams in a better position than us willing to give up better futures to acquire Theodore. I'm not sure we could match the suitors if he was made available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Theodore might be easier to get given their depth (compared with say getting Morrissey from the Jets), as OP said, BUT if he keeps moving up the ranks of the Ducks' D-group as I'd think he would, I doubt we'd be able to get him without paying a lot. That said, he's the type of guy I'd want this team to get, either through drafting, trading or signing. Without one of these types of players, it'd be tougher to get the offensive flow and transition going. Maybe one of the older guys, who may have gone overlooked like Sven did, could be acquired (say Matheson in Florida). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupless44 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Too bad we just didn't draft him in 2013 instead of Hunter Shinkaruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Too bad we just didn't draft him in 2013 instead of Hunter Shinkaruk And it's too bad we didn't pick Saad instead of Jensen in 2011. Hindsight, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnScott Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Would Clendening be involved? Or maybe Subban? Clendening+/Subban+ for ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Too bad we just didn't draft him in 2013 instead of Hunter Shinkaruk Shinkaruk will be one of the steals of that draft. That I can almost guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Would Clendening be involved? Or maybe Subban? Clendening+/Subban+ for ST One step forward, two steps (three if you count Forsling) back? We better hope hard that Shea becomes Erik Karlsson if we're giving up those two for him. For this team, strong puck-moving PP QB's about as rare as the Sasquatch or the power forward so we'd better keep the closest comparisons we have. That or scoop up Erixon or another PMD when they get let go for weak play in their own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirbs11 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would Propose Subban+Cassels+2nd 2017 for Theodore+3rd 2016 There is a lot of teams that will want Theodore if he is made available. Subban is a similar player to Theodore that may need more time to develop, Cassels is an added prospect and doing a swap of picks may get him Anaheim already has Fowler, Hampus lindholm, vatenen and wisniewski taking up there top 4. Factor in simon depres, korbinian holzer, clayton stoner, Josh manson and colby robak they have a good depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I wouldn't say Anaheim views him as expendable at this time. He is potentially a big piece for the Ducks in the future, not sure why they would feel it in their benefit to move him before seeing what he can bring at the NHL level. There may be some defense ahead of him, it's his job to take their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver will continue to try and develop Clendening, he was brought in as an offensive type blueliner like Forsling could be but much further along in development. Benning made that move to speed up the development process by adding another NHL ready piece to work with. It would be counter-productive for Benning to then move Clendening for a defenseman needing more development. We are only on the cusp of seeing what Clendening can do at the NHL level.

Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think that the clendening and subban ideas goes totally against the point I was making. What reason would they have to want another PMD like either guy back when they could just keep Shea who is more talented than either. They have getzlaf, kesler, rakell, thompson at centre. Scarbossa laganierre and wagner are top centre prospects. Cole cassels could be a good fit for a trade as he could be a very good 4th line center for them. Cole cassels, 2016 3rd For Shea Theodore.

Toews Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think that the clendening and subban ideas goes totally against the point I was making.

Cassels is a good prospect but the Ducks have a lot of 3rd line center types in their system already. Their prospect pool is already quite deep at forward. I just can't see them interested in that swap. You left out William Karlsson who will also be in the NHL. The Ducks have very few needs and little motivation to move a guy like Theodore. I also think at this point he has a lot more value than Cassels, a guy like McCann who has higher upside would be more of interest to the Ducks.
