Ducks fan here!
-Way, way, wayyyy too much for Manson, not to mention that I have a hard time believing that Carolina can fit him under the cap, even with 50% retained. That was absolutely the reported price, but I can't imagine we get it. IMO, we'd be lucky to get a 2nd+B prospect. I've said it on here a bunch of times though-There's value in keeping Manson to eat the tough minutes so that they can ease Drysdale in if he's on the team this year. Carolina also have Bear, Pesce and ADA on the right side, so they're fairly well set.
-Bouchard would be a fun return for Rakell, but I can't see it. Likely a 1st+ok prospect *if* they can get him going offensively (Play him with Comtois and Zegras you cowards!).
I very much doubt that Dostal will debut this year, though he does seem like he's pretty close to being NHL ready. If one of Stolie or Gibby goes down they don't really have anyone else to go to right now though, so I suppose he could end up getting a few games. As for Guhle? Meh. Larsson and Mahura are ahead of him on the depth chart, and neither are particularly good. Guhle is most assuredly a waiver candidate before opening night.
As for the lineup-Steel will absolutely be playing.
