Not comfortable with the Laine trade, even if we did get Risto I would be against moving Manson unless we get another young RD (could be a different trade/move), Value wise I can live with it though it is alot, Laine is worth alot

Can't see LA doing that trade, they could get more elsewhere and I can't see them wanting Toffoli in the Pacific

I'd rather keep Kase and Manson then have Sheary and Risto. I may value Kase too high but I would want a pick or RD prospect back over Sheary, I don't see his fit in ANA

So we would exchange Rowney and Grant for Sheary, which is at best a lateral move, Manson for Ristolainen and Kase for Toffoli, both of which are significant downgrades, and Lundestrom, Sideroff and a second for Laine, which is probably a big upgrade but might not be if any of the three prospects turns out. I don't see that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and possible negatives of all of these moves.

Agreed, looking at the individual deals on paper it looks like we come out on top, but, when you review the overall team composition, it is clear we end up worse off. For example, replacing Manson with Risto is just a big "no" from me. That's a massive downgrade on D and would be crippling, even with the PP boost that Risto would bring. The forwards looks ok, but we're too spread out. We need more elite talent, not a bunch of mid-6 players.

Im just gonna guess you don't know the ducks roster well.
