Value of: Top-9 forward (LW) to Anaheim

[Halla]

The continuing development of Ritchie has made the need for a top 9 LW much less important.

When Rakell comes back they'll have Ritchie, Rakell, and Cogliano as their top LW's. That's not bad.

only one of those guys is a top 6 forward though.

Yes and one of them has the potential to be that, which is why they are working him into the lineup in that capacity. He's looked really good there.

Good thing you can only have 1 top line LW , the point is
Ritchie
Rakell
Cogliano

Wer3 okay on leftwing, what we need is a right wing to go behind Perry and silfverberg. Ritchie has looked good this season and the scoring will come.

Hagelin would fit perfect there. Should have held on to him

Hagelin was terrible here. Nowhere near worth what he was getting paid.
