The Ducks could totally do it, but the return would have to be worth it or they are better off just keeping him.

My thoughts are that we'd probably want someone who's a RHD or an LHD that can play on the right?
Thrun can play RD if needed, but our depth there is not great.
Otherwise it's goalscoring wingers, but I doubt that's something NJ would be totally thrilled with giving up.

I’m actually not sure , lhd is kinda the area we’re most deep in, but I think value wise it’s in the ball park.
It’s almost hard to make trades being as deep as we are right now cause picks almost seem like a priority.

See that looks better to me, nothing against mcissac but he’d be a super long shot on our depth chart

Oh I understand that Anaheim is not on the business of helping other teams, in this case a divisional rival, by holding 2.9 million in cap hit (and dollars?) for three seasons. At full pull I might not invest heavily in Henrique, despite his reasonably impressive history, because of that cap hit. At half though, that's looking very attractive.
A first would be a given, but what else would Anaheim be looking for? Roster players? Role players? Prospects? More picks?
The biggest thing Anaheim is missing is high end/elite talent at any position. Henrique obviously is not going to bring that back in a trade. Outside of that, they have depth at literally every position that projects to bottom 9/bottom 4 everywhere except RHD. Between NHL and AHL, Ducks can reasonably have guys that fill every spot in 5 years except maybe 2nd pair RHD (I'm not sure if Axel Andersson has that in him).

that much retention is say
1st covers the retention/money
Henrique I’d be aiming at a 2nd + 4th, or prospect of equal value

I think the team has to look at bigger picture…. I don’t think a cup is in our cards this year…. If we can get assets for pieces that don’t fit the future plans why not?
We also have a number of players that could be everyday players
carrick, leteiri, perreault at some point, mctavish
Rakell Jones and silf are currently injured but will eventually need spots available to them too
I mean....nothing? Wrong side of the age curve, declining production, and 2 seasons more after this making 5M+ with a 10 team NTC?
He'd likely pass through waivers again.

You should turn a game on if you want to act like you know what you're talking about.
The last 3 seasons (200 NHL games) show his play steadily declining. He has 230 or so games left on his contract just under 6M a year.
A good run of 14 games is supposed to move the needle on his value when there are literally seasons of evidence showing that he's on a downward trajectory?
He could be leading the league in scoring and his value would still be 0 at this point. 14 games is too small of a sample size to make conclusions when you have ample evidence that he's on a bad contract.
