The Breadman certainly earns his paycheck, right now.
What does his production look like in the last year or two of that deal? Ducks would be getting over the hill Panarin while still paying prime Panarin AAV, and we can't sunset him in the minors in case he completely falls off a cliff. He's on our roster until his deal ends or we buy him out. If I am Anaheim, I am probably staying away unless you offer him up for scraps, as the risk is too high.
The biggest part of your return would be the 11.6 mil in cap space you open up for the next 3.5 seasons
