Well I'm not so quick to dismiss Axelsson as junk. He is a bit older at 32, but he's been a guy who averages nearly 0.5 points per game and plays a defensive role. In the Sim he's had some pretty good years and his ratings are still usable. Although in terms of where the players NHL careers are heading I think I'd prefer the package of players that the Wild get, especially if these concussion issues start to dog Gagner a bit. But in terms of Sim abilities for this season it's a pretty even swap and might actually help the Ducks more.
