Don't get why Anaheim didn't just re-sign Benoit for league min rather than sign hagg and give up a pick for lyubushkin.

Bush is better than Benoit
With Lyubushkin, might just come down to wanting a RHD who can kill penalties. Ducks had a hole at 3RD, so I was wondering if they might be looking on the waiver wire for a Dylan Coghlan / Phil Myers type.
Fowler-Gudas
LaCombe?-Drysdale
Hagg/Vaakanainen-Lyubushkin
And then on an expiring deal, they might be taking a calculated gamble that they could trade Lyubushkin at the deadline and possibly upgrade on the pick they gave up?
Draft picks, usually between 97th and 128th overall.

Solid pickup for Anaheim, I liked Bush's game a lot during his spell with the Leafs

A stopgap for that backend so they’re not forcing any of their young guys to play if they’re not ready.

Opposite sides, I'd rather have Lybushkin and Benoit over Hagg/Vaak (mainly due to injury with Vaak).

Nice add for a blueline group that needed a proven defender and PK guy.
One of Lybushkin/Gudas will likely play with Fowler, and the other with whichever young LD makes the club (Lacombe/Mintyukov/Zellweger/Hinds).

Meh, removing Eakins along with Shattenkirk, Beaulieu, and Klingberg is addition by subtraction. Anaheim improved their Top 6 forward group and D group. Anaheim will go as far as their young players can progress.

Why we're keeping Bryson instead of Boosh, I have no idea. Good luck Boosh! You were fine as a 6th defenseman but took bad penalties a bit too often. Also provided a top 5 moment of the year:

We’ll always have his OT goal that real fans will recognize as the moment the Lightning dynasty really ended.

Because Benoit sucks and isn’t really a NHL level player. Plus the 4th was an extra fourth and the odds of a 4th rounder making any impact down the road is slim.
Adding Gudas, Lyubshkin, and Drysdale plus getting rid of the Eakins swarm defense will help the Ducks on the back end immensely.
I like bush… I mean Bush, ahem… he’s better than Benoit

I don’t see them keeping 8 D when they saddled themselves with 3 unproven goalies and are already down a top 6 forward. Especially not for Bryson. Moving out one worth rostering means they can waive Bryson down (no one is taking his needed to get to the floor last year contract) and be back to 7. Bryson shouldn’t complain. They paid him more than he should have made on his deal and gave him every opportunity
Lol I've actually said this.. if ducks somehow surprise this year and are in a playoff spot by Nov. Kane could sign to play with z
