Jokiharju is a UFA.

Gudas has another year.

Basically fit, and cap.

Very doubtful Anaheim is trying to get out of Gudas contract (or create cap space for next year), they just named him captain. Jokiharju isn't a fit, the Ducks have so many puck movers they can't get them all in the lineup right now. They acquired Trouba to replace Fowler in order to balance that out. If they move a D, it's because they have 8 NHL D + Luneau and don't need one in return.

Not saying they want to get out of the Gudas contract, I think he adds value to the Sabres in this trade.

Figured being a UFA that Jokiharju would be moved, demoted, placed on waivers.

Funny cause just a few weeks ago there was an article on Ducks trying to get McT to play more like BT7. More more aggressive, use his body more, drive the net…I’m assuming.

Seems genuinely insane for the Ducks to trade one of the few solid young pieces they've started putting in place. Unless the idea is to just be...really bad...forever. But who knows... :dunno:
the problem is he hasn't shown he's a solid young piece. now that could just be because the coach is an absolute moron who's dragging down the entire team with his terrible system or mctavish just isn't the guy we think he is.
