Im not sure yet but time will tell.first off montreal upgades there physical play and penalty kill options.and they add a right winger which they had a need for.the ducks add imo a potential top 6 winger with good size and really good speed.i really didn't want to see sekac go cause when he was playing well he reminded me a lot of pacoiretty.i think his problem was being unfamiliar with the nhl game which will come with more experience and the fact therrian wasn't really giving him a fair shake.it just seemed like he couldn't find any chemistry with anyone in montreal and lately he was getting hit hard often by the other teams, maybe a sign of fatigue or just being a little unconfident or lost in montreals system. I guarantee the ducks will use him on a line with perry/getzlaf so if he can't play with them he could find himself back in the khl after next season.as for who won the deal idk.montreal adds a player with less upside but is a player who should be able to continue his career as 3rd or 4th line winger at least.anaheim gets a highly skilled guy who could be a 30 goal man but could just as easily be out of the nhl in a year or two.
