Like the idea, but the returns are bit iffy to my taste. For instance, CBJ got 1st+stuff for Savard double half retained, so I kinda expect ANA to gain at least somewhat close to that amount for Manson as well. Only a 2nd seems a bit meh to me.
Engvall is probably going to be claimed off waivers from the Leafs when the season starts, so his trade value is minimal. Rakell for a first isn't a great business move, especially half retained...they should go after more than that.
ANA would probably have to retain a part of Henrique's salary in order to move him. At his current level he's tad overpaid and won't carry much value.
I like the target teams though.
