The Ducks will trade for Artemi Panarin

Chris Bushell – Call. I want to put raise because I think this guy can be a game changer for the Ducks. It could be interesting to see the Sharks go for the big name defenseman and the Ducks go for the big name forward. The Ducks have weapons up front, but adding Panarin would be huge.

Jake Robles – Fold. I don’t see it happening. Especially after it being rumored that he’s looking for a big payday from whoever gets him I would love to have him on our team, but I’d rather have some homegrown talent develop instead if I’m being honest.

Ed Stein – Call. The Ducks have been unusually quiet this off-season. There hasn’t even been a whiff of adding an impact player. It tells me GMBM is working on something. I’m just not sure it’s Panarin.

Ciara Durant – Fold. All ducks like bread, that’s a fact. So, I’m all in favor of bringing the “breadman” to Anaheim. Artemi Panarin is a rarity. He’s consistent, productive, and he knows how to play a good game of hockey. Trading for him could be a game changer for the Ducks. However, the fact of the matter is the Anaheim Ducks just can’t swing it. If Bob Murray didn’t want to trade for Erik Karlsson, he definitely isn’t going to trade for Panarin.

Eddy Jones – Fold. I can’t see GMBM giving up too much for a guy he can’t resign. Look at his comments on Karlsson. It won’t happen.
