hmmm this one is harder

I'd much rather have Batherson than Terry, particularly considering contracts

I guess it depends if you see MacTavish's upside much higher than Pinto, which actually isn't clear. McTavish is 2 years younger but Pinto is much better defensively so far and has even scored at a better pace

Ducks and Sens are my two teams, I realize contracts/age and other factors play into trade value - but in my opinion Troy Terry stands alone as the best play driver of these four guys. The gap between him and Batherson may not be as much as their contracts reflect but the Ducks should prefer to keep the better player.

Generally speaking, if the Ducks are deciding to try and press the accelerator by tabling a young piece like McTavish - they should be putting together a package deal for the next true star who becomes available for whatever reason.

How has Pinto scored at a better pace?

McTavish - 166 games played
Points per game = .58
Goals per game = .24

Pinto - 152 games played

Points per game = .48

Goals per game = .20

Nope. Exactly the opposite. Pinto has been offered in 3-4 over reaching proposals today. He doesn’t have the value that some believe.
Agreed. I’ve never understood the hype with Pinto from what he’s shown thus far.

Not sure what the incentive for Anaheim is even if value isn’t particularly off in a EA Sports sense. If Anaheim wants to trade younger guys for older guys, it would be for guys that have some winning experience to rub off. Or maybe look to add a RD instead of playing Zegras on the wing.

I think Batherson is the best player in the deal( but close ) but Mctavish for Pinto is tilted in Ottawa’s favour . Not bad but not sure Anaheim does a move like this at this juncture .
