Ducks acquire Larkin

[simmer2]

The Ducks made yet another move today to fill another forward spot.

TO DUCKS
Dylan Larkin
Drew O'Connor

TO WILD
Dominik Bokk
Cam York (14th pick last year)

We have the cap space, and frankly, I really like Larkin. He is a solid 1st line centreman. We also got back a shrewd UFA signed forward in O'Connor that is 21 and grew from 5'8 to 6'3 when he was 18! WTF!

We had to give up two really solid prospects to make the deal happen. York had a great draft +1 year and looks on track to be another solid Flyer dman.

Bokk had a fantastic WJC and looks to be an exciting winger with a high ceiling. I sure like what the NHL Canes have built.

Anyways, thanks Grant for the deal...always fun chatting deals.

Steal for Anaheim IMO

Bokk and York are two guys that were high on my list in their draft years that I didn't land. I needed to move one more high priced piece to give myself flexibility. I'm surprised Larkin didn't generate more interest, but the market is weird this year.
