So, wouldn’t a team rebuilding, need to build around strengths?
And isn’t it smartest to move from depth, or financial escape.
Many don’t seem to recorgnize that most Ducks fans do not believe Manson is A Norris guy, but he IS the only one of his type in our organization. Big, strong, a bit mean, can chip in points. Nobody we have can replace what he brings, so moving him would leave a void we cannot handle.
We have a number of skilled defensemen and even with the moves we’ve made, losing Theodore and Vatanen,we still have some potential in the pipeline. Fowler would be tough to lose, but he has great value to some teams, and moving his contract wouldn’t be bad.
If we don’t believe we can resign Silfv, his playoff record would bring some pretty nice return.
We can retool without gutting ourselves, but it will take some very impressive maneuvering by Murray, and a little luck. Mostly a contract like Keslers being moved to LTIR or something like it.
