Anaheim becomes a worse team instantly even if its just Kesler for Pacioretty. Kesler gets 10-15 less points while being used in far less offensive situations, but is a top-5 defensive forward in the league and a top-5 shutdown center in the league at the same time. In every sense of the word sense, Kesler is a better hockey player right now.... and I think we've already seen the bulk of his deterioration offensively. His hands are completely gone, but he still put up 53 last year in a defensive role.

So to add Fowler for...Plekanec... makes this proposal absolutely terrible for Anaheim

Pacioretty and Scherbak plus ? for Rakell and Fowler.

I would add Beaulieu but he would need to be protected and don't see Ducks being interested.

What does the plus need to be ?

Kesler is on an abysmal contract and we wouldn't take him for free much less offer Patch for him.

Not trading Rakell who we just signed to a great long term deal for a guy who we can't afford to re-sign when he becomes UFA. And no interest trading Fowler who has been our best defensemen this season. You're not getting these players from us.

No interest, fine, no problem. Will point out Patches is signed to a great deal, 4.5M for two seasons after this, and you have Fowler as UFA after next season Thought you guys needed scoring up front, and Patches has three. 30 goal years in a row, twice almost hitting 40. But okay, moving on.
