context matters though...
Friedman was talking about the Ducks embarrassment of riches on the blueline and how injuries have taken a toll on lindholm, vatanen and a Fowler extension... he goes on later to speak of Theodore, Manson and Montour as guys that really stepped up.
Then he mentioned Murray's big trade tended to be to Eastern conference teams in the past - he prefers to stay away from trading to conference rivals
Friedman spitballs two options that could keep one of those DMen in the Western conference...the line that's cause all the debate?

I can’t see him keeping one of these defenders west, unless he covets the third-overall pick from Dallas. I’ve heard the Ducks like Sam Bennett a lot, but would they really want to do this deal with Calgary?

you think dallas fans are freaking out about their throwaway mention too?
