I can't keep using the same adjective. It gets old and makes me feel awkward.

The spirit remains the same.

Which is pretty dumb on the Ducks' part if they're looking to rebuild on the fly.

They a winger back who is younger and almost of Ryan's caliber. They're gifted a young top 4 defenseman. On top of that they get a 1st.

All for a guy who seems distressed to be there and will almost assuredly be leaving when his contract is up.

Seems like poor asset management on the Ducks' part for not taking an offer that makes them better. It also seems like poor asset management by the Flyers if they really did offer that package.
