The alleged ask per Friedman was zegras drysdale and 2 firsts hence why eichel was never a realistic option for us

It is something I mentioned yesterday. The scenario where it makes sense is if Columbus wants to ensure that they get Carlsson and are worried that the Ducks may take him instead. It is interesting that the PV and Madden are sending some very mixed signals about their intentions regarding the #2 pick. At this point everyone seems to be wondering what the Ducks will do.
Despite all the speculation to the contrary on this forum, I'd be absolutely shocked if Verbeek passes on Fantilli. Carlsson is starting to get way overhyped around here.

Every part listed is significantly better than what Vegas gave up, which is why everyone knows that was a nonsense request and the actual price would have been much much much lower.
Signed, someone who felt trading for Eichel was a bad idea for a rebuilding franchise.
That's really f***ing sad dude. I mean I'll credit you for the honesty but this is like petty beyond belief and pessimistic beyond comprehension. The whole reason anyone was rooting for short term failure was in the interest of long term success.
Say our guy is an overwhelming success and is the best guy on a team that brings Anaheim another cup, isn't that more worth it than overcoming the short term hurt of last?

So now we’re going back to re-argue the Eichel trade that never was, in between arguing the number 2 pick? 
Wednesday night can’t come soon enough.

We can also argue about whether we should root for a tank or not?

That's not my point. I guess the better way to put it is if he's so upset that Anaheim lost out at the end because fans weren't hoping they'd try to win for pride, how is rooting for the Ducks' best draft pick in ages to fail any better?
I'd argue it's worse. Whether it's a small part of him or not. At least people rooting for the tank had intent aimed at future success. Even if some small part of him wants Anaheim's draft pick to fail, it's immature and vindictive.
It'd be like saying "I hope Anaheim finishes last place for three more years just to bum you out"

Alot if the time the consensus is good, if you go against it you better be right because if you're wrong thats how you get fired and never get another GM job

The way the ducks are discussing who we’ll pick makes me wonder if they are trying to bait a trade to 3 or 4.
Moving down from 2 to 3 for 34 seems like a no brainer if you have both fantilli and carlsson in same tier.
The 2ndOA pick is not going to put us over the top. Too many holes to fill. But the good thing is we have the deepest D prospect pool in the league. Have 6 draft picks through the 1st three rounds, including a 2ndOA pick. Will be a good draft to fill some of that forward prospect pool
As per next season and the following all i ask is Verbeek adds some support for our current kids and upcoming kids. He wants a competitive atmosphere, which is fine, but he has to address the roster now, since the coaching has been addressed.
Anaheim has an opportunity here to be competitive the next decade or so if they do things correctly and not rush things. So I expect some more pain next season but not as much as last year, and with the following season having some hope for a playoff spot.
Also, would absolutely trade the 2ndOA for 3rd and 34. I think Fantilli and Carlsson are very close and to add another asset to get the other one? Why not.

I wouldn’t move away from 2/3 tho…. I don’t see many big skilled centers in the next couple drafts…. This is our best opportunity to grab a big center
Agreed. Dropping to 3rd to add an asset makes sense, but would Columbus really want to insure their pick and lose an asset in the process?
That is the $64k question. It is possible if both of the following are true (1) they want Carlsson badly and (2) they credibly believe that the Ducks might take him.
Yes it is.
Trading down to 4 seems the least likely of the scenarios quite honestly b/c it would mean giving SJ either Fantilli or Carlsson. If there is a trade down, I would guess 95% chance it is to 3 and 5% chance it is to 5.
Also, any word on the Ducks being compensated a draft pick for the Dadonov debacle?

Finally, we scour the entire nhl pro scouting rankings to FINALLY find a group that doesn’t have fantilli #2. Now we can all say carlsson is indeed a lock at 2…
