Description
With recent reports of Babcock and Lou scouting the ANA-NSH series and the Ducks looking to trade a D-man for ED protection-exempt assets or a non-exempt forward, I propose the following as a fair trade that benefits both side.

Reasoning:

ANA: It gives ANA two expansion exempt pieces and injects youth into our aging line-up, all whilst reducing salary, which was higher this year than in previous years.

TOR: It gives TOR a solid top 3 D-man who will have an immediate impact on a team that is stacked up front.

Protection lists:

ANA:

F: Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler, Rakell, Silfverberg, Cogliano, Wagner.
D: Lindholm, Fowler, Manson.
G: Gibson.

TOR:

F: Kadri, JVR, Bozak, Komarov.
D: Reilly, Gardiner, Vatanen, Carrick.
G: Andersen.

As fair as your deal is, and I am not saying it's not (it actually might be too fair), as a Leafs fan, I feel like they only have eyes for 1 of your D and that is Josh Manson. Even if it meant including a contract like Bieksa's in this deal, which would help ANA cap situation, I think the Leafs only deal with ANA if it included Manson.

The Leafs were scouting the Nashville/Anaheim game. Vatanen is a player the Ducks would move for that price, no doubt.

TOR fans, it may seem a steep price, but please note:

1. Kapanen is only a prospect with some good AHL numbers. There is still quite a bit of risk involved in trading a proven talent away for a non-proven talent.
2. D-men are more expensive and RD are even more expensive.

Maybe the 1st is too much, but this draft is weaker than most and BM will be looking to recoup the 1st we've lost in the Eaves trade. If you don't want Vatanen or don't see a fit, than there is no deal.

ANA fans - I have no idea what will happen with Despres. If he gets healthy, we have the cap space for him. Also, I said LV would take Shaw over Vermette because of his age, but I could be wrong.

Decent idea but for a team that has had a horrifying history of trading their first round pick over a year in advance (Luongo, Seguin, Hamilton, Niedermayer were all picked with first round picks the Leafs traded a year in advance) I don't think Toronto would use that pick.

I get that. Personally, I think Manson is over-hyped because of Corsi. He's ok alongside the right partner, but he is definitely a complimentary #4. Vatanen is the better player, but they obviously have different skillsets. Regardless, I don't see Manson moving. He's too cheap and we have Montour to step in and replace Vatanen next season. Meanwhile, we have no one who can replace the hitting, grit, and fighting ability that Manson brings.

I think the price is reasonable. If Kapanen didn't have such great AHL numbers, I'd ask for more. Those numbers reduce his risk, but he's still a prospect. Personally, I'd like a more proven forward i.e. Miller, Kreider, Palat, etc., but I think this deal makes more sense based on what I understand about the Ducks financial situation and the teams desire to remain competitive year-on-year.
