Ducks At The Trade Deadline Post-Mortem
The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the landscape looks just a little bit difference. What do the moves made around the league mean for the Ducks?

Anaheim trades long time prospect Brandon McMillan to the Phoenix Coyotes for veteran center Matthew Lombardi.
Even though it's trade deadline day, the Ducks are probably going to be quiet. The rentals available may not be worth the price of high draft pick(s).
Bob Murray could finally go for that exorbitant price for Bobby Ryan he's always wanted, and the Ducks might be able to unload salary and pick up offense at the deadline. Murray will have to be creative.
Welcome to the open forum to discuss all the trade deadline happenings around the National Hockey League.
The Ducks trade Jay Rosehill, currently with the Norfolk Admirals (AHL) to the Philadelphia Flyers for Harry Zolnierczyk, currently with the Adirondack Phantoms.
Anaheim picks up a centreman and will turn him into a centerman.
Dan Sexton is headed back to the Syracuse Crunch, but this time as a member of the Tampa Bay organization. In return, the Ducks get center, Kyle Wilson.
The second line needs a lift. Question is: who will give it to them, Bruce Boudreau or Bob Murray?
If the Ducks are considering trading Perry, they had better take a better look at what's about to happen in the future. Perry is an irreplaceable asset; the Ducks organization will be stronger if he stays, now and in the future.
Bruce Boudreau has coached against the Penguins about a billion times. He's probably had a few run-ins with his newest player, defenseman Ben Lovejoy.
It's time to thank Corey Perry for his time in Anaheim and send him on his way. Don't kid yourself, he's not going to be in a Ducks sweater next season. Let's see what we can get for him now.
It's about appreciating the little things in life, like when one of your division rivals trades a draft pick to your team and it turns out to be an NHL superstar. Thank you Dallas for the draft pick that allowed Anaheim to draft Corey Perry.
