Proposal: Boston - Anaheim

[Coach Parker]

Pretty straightforward. Ducks need a quality top six player on a cheap contract. Boston needs help on defense.

To Boston:

D Cam Fowler

To Anaheim:

F Ryan Spooner
F Zach Senyshyn

Cap space freed up in Anaheim, Boston begins to fix their terrible defense situation. Is Senyshyn too much? Not enough for a #2 defenseman?

Cheers!

I really like Fowler, but it seems like someone has to go. If we move him, this is the type of deal I would expect and hope for.

I would make this deal.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

If Fowler is being moved, this is exactly what the Ducks should be looking for. Immediate offensive help, some much needed scoring punch added to the system and just over $3M in salary relief for the upcoming year.

Well done OP

 

[MMC]

Can Senyshyn play LW?

 

[Markus078]

I would make this deal.

Me too, I think the price is alright. Don't know if Spooner is what the Ducks seek.

 

[Paul4587]

I'd do it.

 

[Arthuros]

I'm okay with this.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Can Senyshyn play LW?

He's a RW but he's likely headed back to junior anyway. Spooner could play LW for us.

Despite LW being more of an immediate concern, we have Ritchie and Jones for the future, RW is actually more barren in terms of prospects - so this works perfectly.

Can Spooner even play left wing? I don't really see where he fits.

Getzlaf
Kesler
Vermette
Wagner

I'd want someone that can immediately contribute at LW and that is proven. Otherwise this doesn't make us a better team. Would not do this deal.

Yes he can play LW (and has before). Vermette can also play LW if need be. Switching from C to W is generally not an issue, it's the other way around that players struggle with.

Spooner plays both LW and C, as do both Vermette and Rakell. Could also bump Vermette down to the 4th line and Wagner over to RW - flexibility is always a good thing.

 

[garyturner3]

Good value IMO

 

[gilfaizon]

If Tatar+AA isn't an option, I'd go with this.

 

[McNurse]

Id maybe add just a tiny plus to Anaheim but all and all this good deal

 

[PCDiesel]

What's the projection on Senyshyn?

Agreed, I don't think we would sweat moving Wagner to wing at all.

Seeing as Stoner/Bieksa are immovable (without attaching a prized prospect) - I'd make this deal.

Based on my limited viewings of him and what I've read, Spooner plays better at center but can also slot into left wing. Because he's a pass-first playmaker, I think he'd complement Kesler and Silfverberg.

Ritchie - Getzlaf - Perry
Spooner - Kesler - Silfverberg
Cogliano - Vermette - Rakell
Garbutt - Wagner - Boll

 

[jw2]

I think Spooner could be a decent for with that roster. Not a huge fan of Fowler but I've already compared him to Stralman, which isn't bad. I'd still rather have Hamilton, et al. So bitter.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Too much of an ask from Boston.
Spooner straight up seems fair.

Sure...

 

[wintersej]

Senyshyn is hard to give up. The quality of prospect is fair given the cray-cray prices for D, but the fact that the Bruins have Marchand, Beleksey, DeBrusk, Vatrano, Donato, Heinen, Gabrielle as left handed shots and Pasta and Senyshyn as right handed shots makes giving up Senyshyn tough.

I probably make the deal after calling about Shattenkirk one more time. If STL takes that deal for Shattenkirk, (especially if they are willing to take a left hand shot like DeBrusk instead or Senyshyn) I probably make the deal with STL instead just because the Bruins can talk contract with Shattenkirk now, while Fowler can't be re-signed, yet.

In the end, after the Trouba/Lindholm contracts work out, I suspect Fowler and Shattenkirk will be in one of Detroit and Boston each.

Hardly, No way is Spooner any better then Tatar. And Detroit would've to add another piece. I'll take both Tatar and AA over Spooner any day. With their potentials.

What do you think of Spooner's potential then?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

What do you think of Spooner's potential then?

His potential most likely is around 50 to 55 points per season, Probably the same as Tatar. He's pretty much a 3rd liner with Boston right now. I could see him doing very well in Anaheim don't get me wrong. But when they say that he's worth 1 for 1 for Fowler i hardly doubt he is.
