The Isles wanted to add some asset depth to the organization so we swung a deal with the Anaheim Ducks.

To ANA:

G Mikko Koskinen
LW Nic Deslauriers
D Jonathan Aspirot
2021 5th

To NYI:

C Scott Laughton
D Kris Russell
RW Joey Anderson
G Ryan Miller
2021 3rd
$3.74 million

We needed help at C to offset the loss of Staal. Laughton is a 71 who can play all three positions. We were pretty confident in Francouz for the time being and we're reasonably sure that we'll be able to make up for the loss of Mikko at some point.

Love adding Joey Anderson, big fan of his and we think he'll do great in Toronto. Kris Russell is a solid D in the sim. Miller is fine. The pick is nice to add. The cap is even.

New-look Isles:

Staal* - Stastny - Panik
Nyquist - Laughton - Niederreiter
Lucic - Soderberg - Neal
Bellemare - Dowd - Reaves
Nash

McDonagh - Nemeth
Dumoulin - Oleksiak
Russell - Zaitsev
Jensen

Francouz
Miller

Thanks to Curtis for the deal. Always fun to talk trade. Glad we could hammer something out.
