why do the leafs want Holzer in that deal? can they just get future considerations instead?

Depth RHD. He's serviceable 6th D.

Wild trading Dumba and Hartman for a past-prime forward and a 2-way? I could see it but ehhhh.

Last time I checked Rakell was a forward.

Apologies for my mistake. I should do some more research next time

he's not even an NHL player, he's marlies depth and pointless

Drop him then. I don't really care, he's not the main part of the trade.

Once the Ducks acquire Dumba, they have a right side of Dumba, Manson and Gudbranson. Why in the world would they disturb that? Johnsson and a future second wouldn't replace Rakell, 33 games of Ceci are essentially worthless, Anaheim has two prospects at RW better than Bracco, and the Ducks wouldn't trade Manson without getting at least a 2020 second in any event. With Dumba in the. fold, that second trade becomes incredibly awful.

Yeah, I figured that with Ducks acquiring Dumba, it makes it easier for them to consider moving Manson to TOR, but the offer doesn't really work, now does it...
