Offensive RHD come at a premium you're still not getting Vatanen for that little. That's just pure fact.</div></div>

I agree they come at a premium but theres is the expansion draft (!!) this year and that changes a whole lot. Would you rather lose Vatanen for nothing or something. Im also curious as to what type of return you are expecting. Why ask for prospects when you can just draft your own with the picks you acquired. Plus, I really don't think any team is going to give up a first round pick for a guy that is titled "offensive" defensemen and posted his worst stats of his career in 2017...To go along with that, the team has too many defensemen to protect and other GM's know that. They are going to play Anaheim out and wait for them to accept something smaller because in the end, something is better than nothing.</div></div>

The expansion draft may low his value and ANA may fill the need to move him before the draft, but 28 other teams are willing to give more then that get get him.
So Jersey will need to give ANA more to get him.
