I don't disagree about Manson, but in this scenario, we brought in Dermott as well, which caused Guhle to be expendable which got us another 2020 2nd, in which case we esentially got two 2020 seconds, Lilja, a late pick, and better player than Guhle for Manson, also there's no more than like a 5% difference (at chance of being an impact player) between a late first and mid second, and we got two mid seconds, plus 2020 draft is so stacked, there will be guys in the second round that will be much better prospects than guys who would be available with that 2021 first we could get from TOR
Also Val Nuke is really good, similarly to Kase, I just threw him in because i knew he's be underrated by users on this site and would be viewed as a toss in
I'd still pass. No need for Dermott on our 3rd pairing LD behind Lindholm and Fowler and I see no point in forcing him to play RD. IMO, I think ANA fans have been spoilt having a player with Manson's skill set on the ice. I'd guarantee we'd miss him were he to be moved, especially when Silfverberg gets jumped my Myers and he's not around to slam him to the ground. We need more leaders in our line-up willing to put it all on the line to win, not less.

Leafs has zero interest in having the 4.1m Manson...especiallly at the price of two young Dmen Dermot and Liljegren....NHL starters. Can't Manson be traded to any other NHL team? Seems like on CapFriendly the only trading partner is the Leafs.
Ridiculous to think that Montreal would be one of three go to destination for M NTC Montreal. Seems like 75% of Fowler trades are to Montreal
Sure, CAR and NYI because of injuries. WSH, EDM, FLA, VAN, etc. could all look at him for an upgrade. Plenty of teams would jump at the opportunity to trade for Manson. I doubt many would be willing to/have the assets to acquire him, but they'd certainly be interested. It's no surprise that even ANA fans only consider TOR when proposing a deal for Manson when we've had about 1000 threads about it from TOR fans over the past 3 months.
Agreed, Fowler isn't going anywhere.

So Kase gets a pass with his injury concerns but Timmins doesn't? There are better forwards who could be acquired for a lot cheaper from other teams.
I get that ANA doesn't have many RHDs which is why they are asking so much for Manson but there's no way TOR would give up that much. I don't see Manson to TOR deal happening
No, but Kase is already in the NHL and has a 20 goal season under his belt. How is he equivalent in value to Timmins, a guy who has 2 NHL games under his belt and may never crack the league? Fine, fill your boots going after those other "better forwards" for less. Given what Coleman and Zucker just returned, I think you're mistaken on that one.
I don't think TOR should pay what it would cost for Manson either. For me, they're not serious contenders and Manson isn't going to change that. I don't see a Manson deal happening either. He's loved by the organisation, brings a very rare skill set at a incredibly cheap rate and is a true locker room leader. We need more Mansons on our team, not less.
