I put barabanov with Tavares to start so he can learn from him but maybe he can play with Jost/gauthier and Mikheyev/kapanen later

I understand that that's what the asking price is for Manson, but personally, I'd walk away from that deal. You can find as good, if not a better fit, and pay less in my opinion. Also Marner plays with Matthews now

gave you fair warning get ready for ducks fans to reject this.

The deal just seems the most likely. What other D are out there for leafs that are under 4MIL? Kerfoot/Johnsoon have to dealt in offseason but in separate deals.

No sane Ducks fan would reject this

wait is a duck fan accepting a manson trade? This be a new era for hockey

It seems like a foreign concept to you that teams also have needs that need to be filled, no Ducks fans come in asking for anything more then Liljegren and a 1st which can be seen on par with this offer

Leafs fans get all cranky when people say "my team would pass on this because our needs arent being met" crazy concept I know

I don't think Manson is worth a first to most teams But maybe leafs probably not cause they don't have one this year and they give up good young center decent forward prospect and decent d prospect plus a 5th so ducks need forwards and D so fills both needs.

Im not against duck fans its just everytime I see a proposed trade for manson like this one they immedietly reject citing no good reason or they dramatically overvalue him. Your the first one to accept a manson trade which shocked me
