Manson has more value than that. It may be internally tho. After moving Bo, the need to ship out Manson/Girard drops a lot, even with Landy returning.

What I've seen and read it has to do with cap more than the player

True, but that was addressed with the RyJo and Byram moves. Any Dman that would replace Manson/Girard would cost more or provide much much less. There for it would likely be a subtraction elsewhere in the line-up. If you want one of the Avs cup winning Dmen, it will cost more than a 2nd.

I just can't with the skinner stuff. He's having a terrible year and will still hit 25 goals/50 points. Couture can't even get on the ice
