Ducks Deadline

Way too much for Manson. His entire valuation on here is based on reputation he earned in a good playoff round several years ago. He's been poor ever since.

All good, I'm fine keeping him. The Ducks have absolutely benefited from his shutdown presence this year, now that he's 100% healthy, and he definitely eases the pressure on Drysdale. Quite content to extend him for 3 or so years if nobody wants to pay for him.

The cost of players goes up if the team that has him isnt inclined to trade him. Manson easily gets a 1st plus if hes even traded.

If that price doesnt get met the Ducks are more than happy to keep him

Lol. No it's not.

Ristolainen went for about the same price and Manson is miles better. Right handed defence are at a premium and certainly good ones start at a 1st. Dermott is a 7th defenceman for Toronto, and Villeneuve isn't a highly ranked prospect. It's actually not a bad price at all.

"Value" is a debatable term. People on here try to say what a player is worth based on their skill and role, which is always highly controversial. Each team is going to value players completely different - that's why Tampa "overpaid" for Coleman and Goodrow because they were seen as very valuable to them for what they needed, when fans solely base it on skill and role.

Based on that, I'm sure Toronto is absolutely comfortable making this deal. Anaheim has reportedly set the price high and they'll be many suitors for Manson, so I don't see this as enough for them to consider it
