Anaheim Trades
Manson (Retain 50% of Salary)
Kesler (LTIR)

Toronto Trades
Kerfoot

Leafs will be looking at another player or 2 to help with the Cap Space loophole with LTIR.
Adding Manson helps the Defense on the right side and they add valuable Cap Space with The Ducks taking on 50% of Manson's remaining contract.

Thoughts ?

I don't hate it, but I don't know if anaheim would take it solely on need.

I don't think a Manson trade is in the cards. Anaheim values Manson far more than any other team would. It would have to be an overpay to get him which this isn't.

LTIR space is a good idea but I can see teams offering more just for space. With the cap not increasing many teams may be looking into maximizing LTIR.

agree with Leafslife. the cat is out of the bag on how good LTIR is and other teams may want to get in on it. I think leafs need to add more to that deal and don't see why ducks retain. they hold all the cards.

Retaining money without knowing what the cap will be next season would be dangerous.

I wouldn't give up that much for Manson anyway. My opinion of him has changed dramatically over the last two years. Maybe because I held such high regard for him my disappointment in him has led me to undervalue him now. I don't know. I don't think he's any better than gudbransson now.

The only player on Anaheim I really like still is Lindholm. The rest of the guys just don't hold the same appeal anymore. Fowler is injury prone and overpaid and Manson is a depth player now who is also overpaid.

There's a lot better out there than Manson.
