Manson for Liljegren plus something to equal out the difference between Manson's current value and Liljegren's potential future upside (but not a first) is a reasonable trade. It's going to take two or three years for Anaheim to build a viable right side behind the blue line, which coincides with Liljegren's maturation. It depends what happens in this year's draft. There are some great RhD prospects in it, from Drysdale to Schneider to Grans to Baron to Niemola to Faber. Maybe the Ducks scouting staff will get smart and pick a right-handed defenseman at every reasonable opportunity. (Obviously, if Drysdale is gone at 5 - 7, they should pick a forward because our offense is frightening, too.)
