TO DUCKS
Eichel (74)
2nd (STL) 23'
3rd (MIN) 23'

TO FLAMES
Hischier (74)
B. Othmann
2nd (NYR) 24'

The Ducks like Hischier, but we have Ek and Cirelli who are already strong defensive centres. We needed a guy with upside. Eichel is that guy. I'm hoping he continues to rehab and has a bounce-back year...this is a bit of a gamble but one I think worth taking.

I added Othmann who is arguably the Rangers top prospect and lit it up in the OHL this year.

Flames get a strong two-way centre to play behind Matthews and MacKinnon, they didn't need an Eichel as well.

The rest of the picks involved are all to balance out the trade value.

Thanks Ravi for the deal, always fun.
