Would need to add a lot more. Unless Colorado is willing to go all in, I don't think there's a fit here

Better to keep Newhook and acquire Miller in some other way if possible. Manson probably gets a better offer from Anaheim, and I wouldn't be surprised if he took it. Contender teams would also be interested in his services probably.

fair price but i wouldnt go higher

I'd give Manson 3 x $4ish if I was the Ducks, but I don't think I'd be too keen on going wild with it. Proved that he was a valuable player during the playoffs, and I'd love to have him back, but I hope it's not something insane like 3-4 x $5.

I think it will either be higher hit on a 3-year term, or they add 1 or 2 years to get the hit down. I'm assuming he will want more than 4.1m (since he kind of proved he still can be that guy that was paid that much). I don't see Shattenkirk in the teams long-term plans, so depends how deep the RD prospect pool is in Ana and how many are 3 or less years away.

That would definitely be a tempting offer

Colorado shouldn’t do this

Yeah...it's starting to look better in Anaheim on that end...Helleson needs some time-didn't look very solid in San Diego, but was also thrown into the mix when the team was competing for a playoff spot. Drysdale is looking better every day, and I'm hoping for big things in a year or two. I'd imagine we see a pick like Casey, Nelson, or one of the other similar RD's at either 22 OA or early in the 2nd, which would be 3-4 years away. It's honestly not like the Ducks couldn't use him, and I absolutely love him, I just hate the idea that Verbeek pulls a Drunk Bobby-type move and signs him long term when we all know that he's going to break down sooner rather than later. Extremely happy he won one with the Avs though-absolutely a fan fav. in Anaheim, and seeing him and Cogs win one felt nice.

As for Shatty? He had a solid year, but I'd imagine he's a deadline move this year.

My hope is that the Ducks use some of the draft/prospect capital that they've amassed, and make some high(er) end moves to raise the ceiling for this team. If they can do that, and add Manson as a complimentary piece, I'll be happy. Otherwise it's David Savard-2.0, which just seems like a waste for both parties.

And don't

It's definitely tempting. My only hesitation is the 1st will be the 32nd pick. Newhook, 1st + Olausson/another piece would make it more tempting given the salary retain. And to alleviate the pain when the Avs with JT Miller roll through Vancouver.

Hopefully it doesn't turn to that, you guys do have the advantage in that both parties know what to expect.
