ANA could probably get that same return next year. No need to rush if you aren't getting more.

I think Carolina is smarter to go with a rental since it's only a 3rd pair defenceman that they're looking for and won't have to worry about protecting him with Seattle. I think he'd also get a bit more, closer to what Toronto gave up for Muzzin. I'm not that high on Fleury, but he could be an interesting piece. Would just think that Anaheim would want a better prospect instead.

I also think Rakell gets a lot more. The reported cost is apparently high and I just don't see this as quite enough. I'd imagine it'd be 2 good prospects that Anaheim would ask for.

If that’s the ask for Rakell he’ll remain a Duck

Anaheim has another year of control for Rakell. They can easily hold onto him and move him for more in the off-season when more teams will be interested
