Ducks arent moving Manson and/or miller for a mid six winger, two prospects that will be blocked by others a cap dump and some picks

Why not they traded Vatenen for Henrique and that's looking like a Top pair D for a 3 C

Because at the time we had a surplus of D and needed centres, this is a completely different scenario, and I would do that Vatanen-Henirque trade every chance I get

maybe you missed the first 3/4 of the season, when the Leafs paid 3/4 of Ceci's salary and absorbed that cap hit - on his expiring contract
teams will move anyone to improve, Manson is not Gretzky or Orr
BTW Johnson is a top six winger - especially in Anaheim

Leafs will need to pay to get rid of Ceci no one will give a thing for him
I know he isn't, never said he was. Our biggest need is RD why are we trading our best one for an underwhelming return?
This trade doesnt make ANA better now or in the future
a 40 pt player is not top 6, that is mid six, You need to take into account both teams needs when constructing trades AJ is not a top 6 winger

Maybe you missed the first 3/4 of the season where every team was playing their players. Yes, Ceci’s cap is pro rated. Then again, every teams cap space is pro rated too. Ceci is a cap dump.

You do realize how terrible Vatanen has been this year right... also completely different scenario

You Leafs guys sure love piling up 5-6 pieces to send in a trade. Of course, that rarely actually happens.
