        Tippett is getting traded for a pending UFA. If Tippett is moved, its for Chychrun

        Definitely a Chychrun offer that's not bad fro the Ducks. Would I personally do it? Not sure. I expect the Ducks' pick to be in the 12-18 range and I don't really want to trade the 2022 1st no matter where it ends up being. Don't think the Coyotes do it, but it depends on the picks.

        I'd be surpised if Toronto went for Rakell. I like our F group, only thing I'd move an asset for up front would be a power forward or a top 6 natural center that plays wing (in case of another situation like with JT last year).

        I'd take Manson though

        Tippet has been scratched and only averages 12 min a night when he does play.

        If he says he want to test the UFA market he got to be moved. I want to keep him if the length of contract isn’t too bad.

        Doubt Rakell gets a 1st. He started off the season strong but has fallen way off since and is close to continuing his downward trend. There's such a strong market for forwards and he won't be any teams 1st or even 2nd choice.

        Rakell doesn’t have to go to TOR just a contender. But I don’t think it’s a horrible fit for TOR. He can play both W and I good at both ends of the ice. But I also see wanting to upgrade the backend first.

        Yeah but he can be used to trade for a more valuable asset.

        Why are the Canes trading a legitimate top pairing RHD for a guy who is inconsistent and injury prone? I like Steel, but his best offensive pace season was his rookie year, when he was on pace for 41 points. His seasons since he has only had a point pace total of 27,23,23. I get the Canes need a top 6 LW, but they need to score, and Steel really hasn’t shown that in the NHL yet. Sure I could bet on him performing better offensively, but right now that is just a gamble with bad cards. Plus, a first rounder would have to be included if you want any chance of prying Bear out. At the very least, a package of Perrault and a 1st rounder would be the starting price. The canes would ask for Terry before asking for Perrault though.

        The package for Chychrun is one of the better ones I have seen lately, but I would guess that Arizona wants the prospects to be of higher quality. I wouldn’t be surprised if Arizona is asking at least for McTavish over one of the prospects.

        Lindholm is very good. He’s a legit top pair guy. I get the Chychrun idea but it’s not like Lindholm is just an above average player. He’s very good.

        Lol Bear only averages more TOI than Brendan Smith of their Dmen. Bear could be very good but CAR doesn’t use him. And yes Steel has struggled that’s why I added the 3rd. Cheap young 3rd liner after CAR either re-signs or replaces Trochek.

        AZ isn’t getting McTavish for Chychrun.

        Steel would at best, either be a 4C or a scratch, with the scratch being more likely. Next year, assuming Trocheck doesn’t resign, the Canes center core looks like: Aho, KK, Staal, and one of Lorentz, Martinook, Drury, or Stepan, with Drury being the most likely to be our 4C next year. On the market, Bear would easily get more than that offer just because he is a RHD. And since he can play top pairing minutes, he would be worth even more. Steel is fairly useless to the Canes, unless he starts producing more. Steel is just too inconsistent, and too much of a gamble. That gamble could pay off, but it’s just as likely, if not more so, that it doesn’t. Canes won’t shop Bear anyways, as he is beloved in the locker room and by the fans.

        Manson makes sense for TOR, and two 3rds is reasonable. Conversely, I can't see why NSH would want Manson, but Rakell could help them (I wouldn't pay a 1st for him though).

        NSH right side is weak. The depth charts on here have Benning playing with Josi. Manson would upgrade that. And I only went two 3rds because people either hate or love Manson on here. I think a 2nd and 3rd might be the price for him.

        Rakell can get a first. When he’s played with an offensive capable center he’s produced this year.

        KK doesn’t play C right now. But Steel is better at LW because he freed up to use his offensive skill more than having to worry about his defensive responsibilities. Maybe the 3rd becomes a 2nd but I don’t think I’m far off with the price.

        Benning was only with Josi because of some Covid related line juggling. NSH's D pairings when healthy are:

        Josi-Fabbro
        Ekholm-Carrier
        Borowiecki-Benning
        Harpur-Myers (scratches)

        Manson wouldn't get ice time over Fabbro or Carrier. Borowiecki and Benning have been surprisingly solid this year. Myers looks good when he gets a chance to play. A depth LD could make sense, especially if Boro's injury last night is serious. Harpur is still quite bad. RD isn't a need though.

        Fair enough. I used the depth charts and GP and TOI to kind of guess at needs for teams. I’m sure a team will pay at least two 3rds for Manson tho if not a little more. Exact team isn’t perfect I guess.

        Leafs would be interested with retention. Could something like Holl, 2nd, 4th for Manson (50% retained) work? Gives Ducks a replacement RD with experience in the top 4 for their own playoff hunt plus one year in term while still looking ahead to the future. Gives Leafs an upgrade at 2RD and a big, physical shutdown pairing with Muzzin
