Rasmus market being bone dry shouldn't be surprising... even though the last time I mentioned it i got maligned as a ne'er do well who talks down our asset value.
I am really stuck on who the duck might be. Zellweger? I have given up on the idea that it's McTavish. Nikita Nesterenko is a lower down guy there I'd take a flyer on too.

It does seem like a potential McTavish deal with Zary being a big piece going back IMO. There’s some decent incentive for both sides to wait before trading these players.
For Calgary, they can see how Zary does after his injury and if he gets time as one of the top 3 centers to start the year. If he starts to look more and more like a legit #2 center in the making, Conroy might not want to make him the young player going back in a McTavish trade
For Anaheim, they can see how McTavish does with the new coach and see if he keeps the #2 center spot given their options with young centers on the team. If the other players (eg. Gauthier) look better as centers than McTavish does, they might look at trading McTavish for more assets.
Essentially, if Zary looks more like a 2nd/3rd line winger than a center this year and McTavish loses the 2nd line center spot to Gauthier and/or McQueen looks back on track to being a #2 center in college, the fit might be there for both teams to make the trade.
