Manson is worth more as top 4 RD are at a premium these days. This is the right idea though. Ana GM isn't desperate to dump Keslers IR contract as it's pretty negligible from his standpoint knowing it wont matter to his cap. It's probably just an add Dermott spot but someone may have a different offer. My deal like this was much bigger so idk for sure what a smaller version looks like.

Yea for sure I figured more as well especially because of Johnson’s previous injury maybe they can throw in like u said dermott or maybe holl because I believe 2 mill is too much for him or like a bottom 6 guy ie(like engvall or mikiev can’t spell his name without googling it) and they can replace holl with like hamonic or I personally for some reason like the idea of subban coming home if he gets bought out I like the fact that he can taunt the opposition kinda like mattew Tkachuk which causes penalty’s from the other team

That run on sentence was hard to follow but I will say 2 mil is standard for a non ELC bottom pair defensemen. Those guys play a lot of PK minutes.

I dont see Leafs taking on Keslers contract lol

No
