All your deals look pretty on the mark, so well done. I think people around here need to look at the entire picture before they comment. So many people, in a ton of different Manson-related AGM threads, say how does Kapanen, or Jonsson, or Bracco help the Ducks. Well, when you look at from, hopefully, somewhat, an objective stand point, you can see how bad Anaheim is. How much they need some youth, some speed, and how essentially they are in a rebuild. So a young, controllable top-6 in a lot of ways puts them in a better position than keeping just remaining at the status quo with Josh Manson, who I am sure does not want to play on a team, during his peak years, that will be entering a rebuild. While I fully acknowledge the Ducks could get a decent future package, I would say a deal 1-for-1 with Kapanen is nothing to frown at, or complain at. For all you naive Duck fans out there, there is a ton this team needs, so saying you have a ton of forwards, doesn't mean you have a ton of good forwards. And they could always flip Kapanen at some point as well.
