Drouin has no value. Manson has a good amount of value. No way the Ducks take that

Agreed. If Anaheim can't get their asking price on Manson, they're much better off just keeping him until the deadline. Drysdale needs someone like that to eat some of the tough minutes for him so they don't hang him out to dry like they did this year.

The Killorn trade could happen. TB needs assets and cap space.

I think the Killorn deal is a good one if Drouin's contract is moved or he sits out another season. Unfortunately I think it'd take a lot more money to get Oleksiak out of Texas tho.

Drouin for Manson is interesting if complicated by Drouin's current low value, but I don't know that the Habs would go that route. If they got Manson, they'd likely want to sign him for a few years, but they don't have the money to do that if they take on Killorn's cap hit. Giving away Drouin for a rental is a hefty price.
