Not sure if this is the right direction to go or not, but the Ducks have moved on from Filip Forsberg.

TO WILD
F. Forsberg (75)
2.5M cash

TO DUCKS
V. Podzolkin

I saw Podzolkin move around a couple of times this past year and was disappointed to not be a part of those deals.

Had a chance to make a move and decided to. He's a guy that by everything I've read will be in the NHL next year. He will bring a strong possession game which will help drive a line, the jury is out on his point production. But I love his game.

This gives us a bit more Cheese to work with and gives us more flexibility next year as well. He is 28 and will need an expensive RFA contract and I have a few big names coming up for payday.

Forsberg is a consistent 73 to 75 OVR guy...will fit in well for the Wild.

Thanks Jiri for the smooth transaction.
