To start with, basically you're exchanging Lindholm for Rielly, which raises three questions:
1. If Rielly is more valuable than Lindholm, why are the Maple Leafs doing it?
2. If Lindholm is more valuable than Rielly, why are the Ducks doing it?
3. If Rielly and Lindholm are essentially equal, why is either team doing it?
Then you have Josh Manson, Anaheim's only quality RD, for Johnsson and two not-quite-proven prospects. Anaheim has plenty of LW quality and quantity (Rakell, Ritchie, Jones, Shore plus Comtois and Tracey in the system), so the rest of this trade is a subtraction for the Ducks.
