Henrique should not be moved in any sense unless we get an actual return, Eakins and Murray's horrible asset management hopefully are gone in the offseason and Henrique continues to be an impactful presence for us moving forward in our rebuild, and is a nice insurance policy should Getz not return.
Reasonings:
Henrique over Milano - Pretty easy choice for me, Milano cant get on the ice this year and with the emergence of Comtois, Zegras, Jones there isnt really room for him here anyways, and Milano could entice Seattle to not take Shattenkirk
Mahura over Larsson/Shattenkirk - Losing Mahura would have the largest negative impact of the three imo, I believe he will continue to develop into a solid top 4 Dman and he should not be exposed at all. Larsson is a player to me that could use a change of scenery and Shattenkirk hasn't played well enough to be protected over Mahura imo, the focus of this expansion process should be on the future (Mahura) over the now (Shattenkirk)
Price is rumoured to be "High", and with 50% retention possible we should get quite a haul for a red hot Rakell.
I am very high on Honka, I think he would be a great add to our prospect pool, Bokk is a solid prospect as well but with Guys like Gunler and Jarvis CAR can afford to use him to "Outbid" teams like TOR and BOS that could also be in the Rakell market
I think Carolina is the best fit for Rakell personally
I chose Manson because I think it would be poor practice to trade someone just months after signing a 3 year deal
Manson's value has lowered since the offseason, he cant seem to stay healthy this year, but I believe he still gets a second + from a team in need of a shutdown second pair guy.
Why wouldn't you protect Heinen over Henrique. He's a versatile forward who can slot pretty much everywhere. Henrique is probably not selected even if left exposed.
The Athletic says Anaheim is looking for a hockey deal for Rakell. What does that look like?
Foegele and Honka?
I've seen so many rumoured things they want i dont know what to believe, the only constant is a "High Price"

I protected both, I protected henrique because there wasnt really anyone else to protect
