We don’t really have the space or need for Henrique. You could probably get NYR to dance, though, especially with that retention.
i wouldn't do this deal but cmon man...rakell is better in almost every aspect of the gameThat Leafs deal is legitimately the worst trade I have seen since coming here. Hyman is worth more than Rakell league wide easily.. He's a grinder who was on pace for 34 goals last year (basically Rakells career high) but Rakell hasn't scored near there in 2+ years. He's more physical and better defensively and one of our best Pkers and empty net defenders.
Then we add in 2 of our top 4 prosects +(???) for a Dman who is not only past his best before date, but not even fills a need for us?
Yikes.

Rakell's 2 way game is up there with Hyman's.Based on what?He's been a 25 goal, 50 point winger for 2 years now. Hyman scores that and is one of the best forecheckers in the league. Rakell doesn't play the heavy game Hyman does as well as he does. Leafs will not let Hyman go unless he wants too much we can afford to pay.

No way. You're drunk. Rakell is much better than Hyman.That Leafs deal is legitimately the worst trade I have seen since coming here. Hyman is worth more than Rakell league wide easily..

counteroffer from leafs:
Amirov
Liljegren
2nd (1st if leafs win cup)
Kerfoot

I would 100% trade Hyman for Rakell but it makes no sense for him to be included in a trade for Rakell. Leafs have 5/6 prospects that I'm sure Anaheim would prefer over Hyman, and whom the Leafs would be willing to deal. Leafs could ship out Kerfoot in a separate deal to make the cap work if the Ducks don't want himHonestly it sounds like the Ducks and Leafs are not good trade partners.
The Ducks don't value Russians (hadn't drafted a Russian skater in almost 20 years before the 5th round this season) so I'm not sure where Amirov would be valued by them.
Kerfoot would be a cap dump since he really wouldn't be of value to the rebuilding Ducks, and this would leave the Ducks with 13 mil in salary to pay between Manson, Rakell, and the cap dump in Kerfoot.
I understand if you don't want him to be a cap dump, that's on me, but the fact that Leafs fans are saying they would not trade Hyman for Rakell boggles the mind. Rakell is better in every aspect of the game outside of hitting, he would be cheaper then Hyman, and would be signed for 1 more year.
I understand Anaheim doesn't have great talent around them but those are some really cherry picked stats. Hyman broke out just 2 years ago using stats from 4 years is unfair.Honestly it sounds like the Ducks and Leafs are not good trade partners.

I feel like if the Ducks traded Manson and Rakell separately retaining 50% they could get a better return then this.
Last 4 years:
Hyman:
222 Games
61 goals
128 points
47 point pace
22 goal pace
Rakell:
229 Games
68 goals
161 points
57 point pace
24 goal pace
Rakell has put out more offense in that same period playing on the second worst offensive team, while Hyman has been on the second best.
Not to mention Rakell's wonderful 1.9% shooting percentage this season that has absolutely snake bitten him.
Rakell would be easily be back to a 70 point guy in the Leafs top 6. No question.

leafs proposal is....really really really bad.
Rakell is struggling. 1 goal this year. Holl and Brodie are locked in as the top two RD.
So essentially they lateral at best hyman for rakell, upgrade bogo to manson to only play 12 mins a night..and it costs em lilly,robertson and a 1st
absolutely not. take out two of liljegren,robertson,1st and leafs still say no. thats how bad it is
I would love to hear the rational on this.
Hyman is an absolute workhorse and compliments Mathews-Marner perfectly. Hyman is a much better defensive player and physical player then RakellI would love to hear the rational on this.
The proposal is not very good but this is worse.
Debrusk for Rakell call it a day.
Leafs counter with
Silfverberg
DeBrusk
_______
Rakell (@ 1.9 mil)
Manson (@ 2 mil)
Lilegren
Robertson
Hyman (Cap)
2021 1st
_______
Henrique (@ 2.9 mil)
2021 3rd
Edit: Had NJD's 3rd listed as NYI's 3rd by mistake.
Hyman is super important to the leafs top 6, so he’s not really a cap dump that’s a legit player for them.I'm curious what you think a return that makes sense for Anaheim is. Getting a top 6 winger and top 4 defensemen for 4 mil total is pretty valuable.
I was between Hyman and Kerfoot but I would honestly want more if the Ducks take on 13 mil in salary to make the numbers work.
