Ducks and Flames hook up for another blockbuster

[simmer2]

The Ducks didn't wait long to improve their d core after moving out Weber mere days ago.

The trade breaks down as follows:

TO FLAMES
D. Larkin (75)
B. Lizotte (66)
Lucas Raymond

TO DUCKS
Z. Werenski (75)
F. Forsberg (73)
3rd 22
4th 21

The Ducks did not like the makeup of our defense after moving Weber, and this trade really solidifies us back there. Having Werenski, Provorov, Theodore and Dahlin gives us tremendous strength back there for years to come.

Moving Lucas Raymond was the hardest part of this deal. I spent a lot of time working on who to draft, and I think he is going to be fantastic.

The reality is though, I have a great team now with great contracts and Ducks fans expect a competitive team.

Thanks Ravi for the trade. You've only been hounding me for Raymond since I drafted him.

Flames had looked at moving Perfetti a few times this past week but the quality of player coming back wasn't what we were looking for. I have been harassing Curtis for Raymond since about 3 minutes after he drafted him so glad to add him to the fold. Raymond and Perfetti have enormous ceilings and should be a big part of our future.

The cost was large in having to send Forsberg and Werenski. Zach is a young stud and an absolute horse on D. Bringing back Larkin lessons the blow as we think he is an elite talent up front and hopefully his numbers will improve as the NHL Wings add offensive talent around him.

Thanks Curtis for the fun talks, I always enjoy the negotiations!
