Back to the beginning. JVR for a roster player(not D), prospect(not D) and a 1st.

Leafs: JVR, Carrick, Bracco
Ducks: Ritchie, Jones and a 1st, Manson, Steel.
Bieksa and a 2018 2nd to fit the cap.

Ritchie takes JVR spot in the line-up. Swap a #4 offensive D for a #5 defensive D, a high scoring RW prospect for a high scoring C prospect. IMO Manson is a better fit with Gardiner.
P.S. JVR is the 7th highest scoring LW in the league. That puts him on the first line of 75% of the teams in the league.

@David
Never said he was better then Leivo. In fact I think both are promising, young wingers that can add size, a bit of grit and scoring to the leafs. Both are LW by trade but Leivo has shown he can do quite well on the RW also. See, both in the line-up. Get some scoring on the 4th line.
Hyman - Mathews - Nylander
Komarov - Kadri - Leivo
Ritchie - Bozak - Marner
Martin - Gauthier - Brown

@ Xcing
You lost me. Where was the "way to much? #6 defensive D for 3 year younger # 4 offensive D? The 7th highest scoring LW in the league for a middling rookie and a checking junior and a 1st (24th OA)? What is fair from the Ducks for JVR (no defense men allowed)?

The Leafs need D so why would they trade JVR for anything else?

Doesn't fix our d problem at all Manson is third pairing.

Ok Spider look at it this way. 3 firsts + a possible top 4th d man + a cap dump + a 2nd + a promising prospect for a good LW (Keep in mind his point totals since his big start at the beginning of the year on the decline), a two ok prospects. If Anaheim gives up that much they get a way better package. I would even go as far as to say the package could get a deal for Gaudreau started. Don't even try to tell me Gaudreau = JVR.

Also did you call Carrick a top 4 offensive defenseman? I wouldn't call a play with 7 points in 55 games offensive and I definately wouldn't call him top 4.

i think the leafs should keep him carrick. has promise, and he will continue to develop.

Manson would be a great fit on leafs blue line. The leafs need his toughness and ability to clear the front of the net.
This is an overpayment by Anaheim, drop the 2nd rounder at least.
I would trade Leivo for Ritchie straight up without hesistation.
