I've seen several of these Manson-Miller package proposals recently, and none of the accompanying offers seem worthwhile to me.
What you've got here is a (good) backup goalie and a defensive defenseman for another type of defenseman and some additional pieces. In this instance, the additional pieces are of almost no value to Anaheim at all.
Andreas Johnsson is a nice, quality, NHL forward, but in my opinion Max Comtois and Max Jones have a much greater upside and are younger and cheaper.
The Ducks aren't interested in the incendiary Michael Hutchinson because they have Andrew Stolarz ready to come up from San Diego and Lukas Dostal in the wings.
Anaheim similarly has no interest in Jeremy Bracco because the prospect rating service to which I default opines that Daniel Sprong and Kiefer Sherwood are likely better.
So regardless of your opinion of Barrie vis-à-vis Manson, this trade makes no sense for Anaheim. The only variation I see working for the Ducks is an extended Barrie and the 2020 second, but that renders an already bare draft cupboard even emptier.
