May have to sweeten the ducks deal a bit (maybe mid tier pick) but they have a solid/young and emerging d core in Montour, Larsson, Mahura, Lindholm and Fowler. Add Liljgren to that mix in a year or so. Brown is obvy more of a filler, but a capable Swiss Army knife who adds depth and is not going to break to bank of resigned.
As for Simmonds, 1st round pick plus top 9 forward is solid for a guy on an expiring contract. Yes, Johnsson is also on an expiring, but younger and will cost less to resign with some potential upside with more time - he’s only 24 and it’s his 1st full year...
