[Trade] Ducks trade Montour to the Sabres for a 1st and Brendan Guhle

[PeteMoss]

I doubt mind this for Buffalo. I think Montour can be a good player in the Brodie sense.

[PeteMoss]

I say that knowing nothing about this prospect. If he's good anything more than a warm body I reserve the right to change my mind.

[Sylvanfan]

I hate Anaheim getting more picks. They've generally done well with those 24-45 range draft picks.

This gives an idea as to what Brodie is worth. Brodie is probably gonna get a bit better return, though.

Guhle is alright, he’s been knocking at the door the last couple years but just hasn’t been able to make the jump. There always seems to be someone jump ahead of him for the first call up spots.

So like Wotherspoon?

Does this make buffalo dealing ristoleinen more likely?

Ducks have sure purged a lot of Dmen lately.

Theodore
Vatanen
Petterson
Montour

Happy about this deal. Good dman out of Anaheim, and is now in Buffalo rather than Toronto, who could truly use him.

They trade Montour for a guy that has potential to be Montour if things pan out, and dismantle one of the best, albeit underachieving, top4s in the league in doing so.



Kind of a puzzling trade from the Ducks perspective, given their offensive woes and lack of young forwards with good offensive potential

Besides youngish guys like rakell, silverberg the ducks have some nice young pieces in Kase, sprong, ritchie, comtois. Plus on sure some of their other prospects are decent too.

They draft a lot of good defenseman. Not many teams have drafted their top 6.

Calgary will be in this position in a couple years.

You expect Hanifin to go somewhere else?

I mistyped that post. I added the top 6 sentence after I wrote the bit about the Flames.

Was hoping to see Housley as part of the Anaheim trade.
