Raise, Call, Fold: Anaheim Ducks 2021 Trade Deadline

The Anaheim Ducks will have a “quiet” Trade Deadline

Brad Senecal: Raise— When I think of a quiet deadline it has Murray written all over it as I define it as either making no moves or general depth/minors trades. This has become the Bob Murray specialty.

Redan Lopez: Raise— Murray is not known to make big splashes whether in free agency or the trade deadline. I think the trade deadline will be “quiet” in the sense there won’t be any major moves and moving out multiple veterans or young players to accelerate a rebuild.

Ben Thomasian: Raise— I think the Ducks will make some minor moves, but nothing to write home about. Typically Murray does his work a couple of weeks before the deadline, and that would likely stand to be similar this season with the border restrictions in place. There’s a good chance that we’ve already seen the Ducks deadline deals more or less completed.

TJ Watson: Raise— Refer to answer #1.

Ciara Durant: Raise— Bob Murray is notorious for sitting on his hands at the trade deadline, and in a season that is so bizarre, I can’t see him doing much of anything. He might make a move or two, but it likely won’t have much effect on the team nor be a catalyst that sets the Ducks rebuild in motion. I actually think this is going to be a quiet year for a lot of teams and probably one of the more boring Trade Deadlines in recent memory.
