I feel like, as long as he's healthy, there's a handful of teams that would offer up a 1st+decent prospect for Hampus. I don't know that Zboril is the guy that I'd want though...If Hampus is moved, there's already a number of "Meh" replacements on the left side for him, that Zboril would be somewhere in the middle of.

If I was GMBM, I'm not sure who I'd target though, to be honest.

Ducks and B’s have a pretty good rapport when it comes to trades. Lindholm and Manson should be at the top of Bruins radar. But i don’t think that get’s it done. Gotta up the 2nd piece.

who would you add if you thought Lindholm or Manson was a piece BOS needed? I'm curious.

Hard to say...spitballing here, but:
-Hampus for 1st+Beecher? Boston might not want to move Beecher though, so it's hard to say (He also might not make a ton of sense for the Ducks)...I guess "1st+good prospect+little piece?" is where I'm going with it, especially with retention. I'd prefer to see the Ducks just extend him though...Morgan Rielly's contract is the absolute ceiling (Could see the AAV closer to $6.5 mil considering his missed time over the past couple of seasons), and Hampus is absolutely worth it.
-*IF* Manson is healthy and playing like he has to start the season, I could see a David Savard-type return (Very late 1st+3rd). Again, the Ducks can retain no problem which is rare. Some may say that's an overpay, which it could well be, but Manson is the type of player you want out there in the playoffs, playing in your own zone. He still has a lot of value to the Ducks, given that his function right now is the eat the tough minutes, to ease Drysdale in (Though Drysdale is playing almost 22 minutes a night right now). I honestly wouldn't be surpised if they just to give him a similar extension to the Savard contract. GMBM and the Ducks absolutely love Manson, so I can't see them just moving him for the sake of moving him without an overpay.

The lack of viable prospects that look they will amount to anything more than spare parts make landing a bigger fish problematic.

Lohrei is the only defensive prospect of value and they can’t move him. After Lysell (not being moved…yet), there is Beecher, Lauko, Steen, Harrison, and they look like 3rd and 4th liners, not moving the needle much. It depends if the Ducks like someone, maybe they see something in someone a bit off the radar, Shmaltz, Asselin, Olson, Lyle. But in the end i’m not sure what Boston is willing and able to part with will outbid others.

I think 1st and Zboril might get Manson.

Lindholm on the other hand 1st/Urho/3rd maybe in the ballpark but i still think they get better offers.
