Love the Vancouver deal for Gaudette. Makes a ton of sense for both teams. I think Toronto adds a prospect though to since it's more clear they're gaining the valuable cap space as well. I've highly suggested this idea before so I'm 100% behind it. Zaitsev and Rasanen for Gaudette and a 5th I think gets it done.

Edmonton deal makes no sense. Leafs don't save cap room and with Hyman being out till December - January (ish) Brown will be the most important and beat PK guy. Coaches and management love him too, wouldn't be shocked to see him sticking around.

I stay away from Manson. Ducks are rebuilding and are going to ask a higher price for him. With his style of play I can see injuries being a concern. I don't think he's the answer for the RHD slot.

Sparks doesn't have any value. Most likely lose him to waivers or he plays in the AHL to regain a little value before they can move him.

Overall, not bad work though. Just be ready for any hate coming towards you for moving Zaitsev. This site is notorious for saying he's worth nothing.

Manson is the only top 4 RHD the ducks have...plus he has good term. they have plenty of good fwd prospects so might not value kadri as much as liljegren or sandin. I think a 1st, roster player, or liljegren/sandin gets it done. maybe 2 out of the 3 and something else but he would be worth more. VAN probably goes all in on myers and im not sure where risto ends up. ducks could very well take a look at zaitsev if they dont land any decent Defenders thru FA's or trades. most teams would probably want a sweetener on Z deal without giving back too much. probably takes a lil extra to get benning, but not sure how much Holland values brown.
