Quoting: BuckoJoyde
Gonna sound crazy and show my bias(my like for max jones as Is see he's really undervalued) your not getting that 1st maybe our second. ANA-NYR probably not the best trade partners rn. Not to far off on that trade tho.
I mean respectfully it's tough for an NHL GM to ignore a massive hole on the right side of the defense. Manson is almost certainly a rebuild casualty and after him the next best performing RHD this season was...Gudbranson, and he was a replacement level player. At the moment, the best RHD in the system is Hunter Drew and he spent some time in the ECHL this season. If Manson is gone this season, the Ducks are a lock not only for the worst NHL RHD crop, but also worst RHD prospect pool.
With that set as the stage, obviously someone like Trouba, a consistent 2way RHD with size and a ton of team control becomes a consideration. He's an obvious target since there aren't many alternatives for someone who can step in as #1RHD on day 1, is decently young, and has a ton of term.
In terms of the compensation, I don't think the Boston 1st vs. Anaheim 2nd is too much of a controversy, the picks are about 5-10 slots difference depending on where Boston finishes this playoff run.
I don't think swapping out Jones is a dealbreaker either. I chose him because of his profile (Rangers tend to like big /fast wingers (see their acquisition of Gauthier and Lemieux) and because he seemed like a good change of scenery candidate. Anaheim tends to play a slower, controlled, possession heavy offense. Jones tends to want to play a bit more fast and sloppy, which is really what the Rangers are all about.
But he can certainly be swapped out. Whichever of Thrun, BOG, Terry, or Lundestrom you like the least also works.
