Rakell is as valuable to the Ducks as Gaudreau is to the Flames.

I never said they had the same value now did I? I said Rakell has the same value TO THE DUCKS as Gaudreau has to the flames.

Please tell me where I’m wrong. Rakell is the Ducks best forward and is young. Gaudreau is the Flames best forward and is young. Just because Gaudreau hasn’t more value in a vacuum doesn’t mean the Ducks will give up Rakell for anything less than extreme overpayment. Especially for this shit show of an offer.

Rakell is on pace for around 15 goals and 50 points. Gaudreau is on pace for nearly 50 goals and 120 points, is one of the favourites for the heart trophy and is propelling his team to one of the best records in the league

And Rakell scored more goals than Gordo last season, and the season before that. He is on a cheaper contract as well.
Now, Gordo is probably the better player, and the Flames are a better team this year. That wasnt the case these last two seasons. Context is key.

Not enough to make us give up our best goalscorer.A first round pick and a top prospect have no value to the Ducks?

Fantastic. Gaudreau is also playing on a line with Lindholm and Monahan. Now before you go on saying that I’m saying he’s a byproduct of his line, he’s obviously not. Yes Gaudreau is obviously better. Yes Gaudreau is a step up from Rakell. Yes Gaudreau is worth more in this league. Yes the Ducks value Rakell like a damn superstar.

Don't worry because the Flames would never offer such an outlandish price for him anyways.
I’d say too much from Calgary......
And Ducks still likely wouldn’t move a young, known quantity with a good contract
Given our need to retool and needing to control our costs
I’d think it’s hard to retool if we give up our best young players.

Overpayment for Rakell. But, Rakell is worth it.
Ducks shouldn't move him, Rakell is not the problem.

Rakell just isn't a player we should be selling off for picks and prospects/lesser pieces. The explanation from the Ducks perspective is extremely weak - they "need assets" like Rakell a lot more than they need D prospects, middle six forwards and late firsts. Also OP you are shopping in the wrong place if you are looking for a 2C upgrade anyway, Rakell has barely played center in recent years, plays his best on LW.
