Confirmed with Link: [ANA/NJD] Brian Dumoulin (50% retained) for 2025 2nd round pick and Herman Traff

[Ducks DVM]

I could see them bringing up Luneau and rotating him with Helleson.

They’re on record as wanting the Gulls to make the playoffs though. That doesn’t help the Gulls make the playoffs, and sitting is the worst thing that you can do for his development after he’s starting to figure it out.

Yeah there's no way they spend all that money on Husso to help the Gulls, then turn around and take Luneau away to sit in the pressbox. We can find another Lagesson type (on waivers or for a late pick) to fill the 7th role

"He hits..."

Träff is the Swedish word for 'hit', so that's good, I guess.

EDIT: Just to clarify—when referring to delivering a hit, the verb is 'tackla.'

 

[70sSanO]

Reminds me of Delta Tau Chi…

Henceforth your hockey name shall be Traff.

At least it isn’t Flounder.

Verbeek is such an interesting GM.

Sometimes he makes really savvy moves like this, the Cutter trade, and the ill-fated Dadonov trade. But other times he seems kind of clueless.

I guess it's just part of the gig, nobody does everything right. But I hope he does more of this.

good return considering they gave up a 4th to get him. no more healthy scratches for mintyukov and zellwegger

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Looks like Traff is also right handed, which is nice

 

[tomd]

Traff must have caught my eye during the WJC or something, his EP link was already purple when I googled him

He definitely caught my eye in that tournament

hindsight is 20/20.

But to flip a 4th to a 2nd takes some serious negotiation skills.

Never understood why you would scratch minty. Zell i understand, but Minty is legit NHL ready.

Herman Traff is the most 1930s banker name I've ever heard

 

[GermanRocket7]

I'm not even mad, that's an amazing return for Dumoulin

 

[Bender66]

This Traff kid sounds like typical Verbeek type of forward. Nice work by beeker

 

[hockey webcomics]

holy crap

I'm not even mad, that's an amazing return for Dumoulin

i am. quite a lot.
couldn't they have added cronin to the trade?

 

[GunnarStahl]

Traff's scoring pace in the SHL is practically identical to Brandsegg-Nygard. He is 2.5 months younger and 2 inches taller as well. Not saying he has the same value; I would have taken Brandsegg-Nygard over Traff every day of the week feel free to get rid of the second or even add but that is just to show he has performed above his stock this year.

In the HA (where he only played 9 games) he trails only Lucas Petterson in PPG for DY+1 players this year. His pace in the HA is a bit better than Ohgren for example from a couple years ago.

This is definitely a legit player, with lots of room for development.

I don’t know what a Herman Traff is, but a 2nd round pick for a defensive d-man rental is very good. Nice job Verbeek.

Welcome back to the lineup Zells.

“Brian was good for us both on and off the ice, and we wish him well in New Jersey,” said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek. “This wasn't an easy decision for us. We do feel this allows more opportunity for our young defensemen, who have proven they can play and succeed at the NHL level.”

 

[McDonald19]

A 2nd round pick and a recent 3rd rounder with upside is an insane return. I wish we had more to sell. Does anyone want an injured Fabbri for a pick and prospect?

 

[2faded]

19, big, right shot. Sounds like a good future addition to the bottom 6.

I'm glad to see Verbeek take my advice I gave him only yesterday.

No more vanilla 4th line Lundestrom and leasons going forward

 

[Gliff]

Bravo. Honestly fantastic return.

It’s frustrating because these are the deals we should have seen every year for the past 5 years. Take overplayed vets and flip them at the deadline for a good returm

The irony that Leason is bigger and a right shot as well.

Most fourth liners are vanilla... That's kind of the definition of a fourth liner

Vanilla is fine, I think we'd all just like a bit of cookie dough mixed in though. Or chocolate mint chips. Or butter pecan.

Hold on guys, gotta make a grocery run.

Bland but physical and mean? Gaucher should fill that void as soon as next season.
