Truth of the matter is, whether Anaheim fans believe it or not, Josh Manson is NOT worth Johnsson AND Dermott, nevermind that extra stuff. These are 2 young NHL roster players, great speed from both, and both have displayed plenty of top-6 and top-4 potential, respectively. Josh Manson fits the Leafs well for obvious reasons, but he's not and will never be a top pairing guy, and I think people fail to understand that just because you'd slot Manson with Rielly, that doesn't make him more than what he actually is. So, even if the Leafs have to overpay for Manson. Johnsson and Dermott together in a deal for only Manson back, would be a pretty significant stretch. Never mind the fact that the Leafs probably could get better value for those players elsewhere.
