Let's see:

Leafs gain cap space: ✓
Leafs trade from strength to address weakness: ✓

Leafs keep the core intact: ✓

Leafs gain a stay at home defenseman that hits a lot (increase grit) : ✓

Leafs bring in a true 1RHD: X

Leafs get younger, faster, and more skilled: X

Leafs gain picks for future use: X

Leafs are a better team after: X

So, some good, some bad. Personally I feel the bad outweighs the good, but that's debateable and depends on how much you like the incoming players I guess.

Manson is not a 1RHD and would be the worst partner for Reilly possibly ever. He only has two years after this season though, so if he doesn't work out, we can expose him for Seattle and maybe slip them a pick for doing us that favor.

Heinen is a pretty big downgrade from Kerfoot, which is the most questionable part of the trade for me. He's a good player I'm sure, but going by what I've read, we might be better off keeping Kerfoot and trading Kapanen. But then again, I guess that depends on whether you like apples or oranges type question. And whether Anaheim would want a winger or a center. I'm thinking a winger more because they have good centres still and the last two years in a row they drafted a highly rated center first round. Zegras is the one they say is the next superstar on the team, but that Lundestrom is a highly rated prospect player as well. Anaheim needs wingers. Rackell and Silfverberg are their best wingers and they are middle six players on a contending team.

Heinen is a Hyman type player out works his opponents doesn’t put up big numbers be is a great shutdown guy And I think would be a great pk guy alongside Hyman I would say his only knock would be he’s not a true center but neither is Engvall and he got a shot at it as for manson he’s big throws the body and is a stay at home guy might not be a true 1rhd but looking at the market that guy does not exist for the leafs so he’s probably one of the better options by putting manson with Reilly the hope is that Reilly can go back to being a more offensive player which had him net 70 pts and was in the Norris conversation as for the players going back Dermott is a decent player he isn’t flashy and still has time to grow as a player but leafs have the depth on the left side with guys like Sandin who is projecting to be better anyways Kerfoot is a younger guy can play wing or center as he did this year and Johnsson is a solid player too just was signed for too much and the leafs have cheaper options The bonus to this trade is we save cap and neither player has a lot of term so if it doesn’t work they become easy pieces to move.

I understand everyone wants more "Hyman" type players but he's one of a kind in a lot of ways. A lot of grinders can't net 30 goals and play top line minutes with superstars. Hyman needs to be resigned because bringing in Heinan isn't a solution to losing him.

Hyman should be considered one of the core. He's like the Patrick Sharp of the team. Hard working grinder with a nose for the net.

Who said heinen was his replacement for a year now we have all been posting on here how the leafs need to be a more gritty team that’s what he brings same with manson The leafs have all the offence they need but we need a few good defensive players now.
