Gortz is only 23 years old and owns good size, so his upside is a little higher than O'Brien's at this point. Gortz will add winger depth to the Ducks for the rest of this season, and will then likely be reevaluated by Anaheim management (since he is a pending restricted free agent after 2016-17).

A converted defenseman, O'Brien is a year older than Gortz with a more limited skill set. Like Gortz, O'Brien is scheduled to become a restricted free agent following the current campaign. Neither player is guaranteed to be re-signed but both should get a fresh start with their new organizations.

Neither Gortz nor O'Brien has much in the way of fantasy value at this time, so there is nothing to see here.
