The Ducks have been getting ansy the last 4 weeks looking at making some sort of move.

We struck out on a deal with Boeser around a similar package but found a deal tonight with JiriHrdina which didn't take long to complete.

TO WILD
Valimaki
1st (ANA) 21'
2nd (TOR) 22'

TO DUCKS
Kubalik

We've been on the hunt for another Top 9 winger for a while and are very happy to bring on Kubalik.

His Goals/60min is Top 10 in the league and he has virtually no PP time. Obviously there are concerns about him being a one-year wonder, but he sure put a lot in the net without a lot of ice time or a lot of PP time.

I love Valimaki and think he will be a Top 2 dman on the Flames, but I have a 2 yr window with cap space and I am OK paying for ratings now.

Plus, 0.75M and Kubaliks ratings for 2 years is hard to ignore...it just gives us a bit more flexibility.

Thanks Grant for the deal.
