Could Rakell take the Panthers 2C spot? Would LOVE to add Manson.
what’s the ask from Florida?
Rakell is a winger, best at LW but can play either side. He was drafted as a center and played there when he broke into the league but he's been playing wing full time for years now, outside of occasional spot duty at center when our depth was destroyed by injuries.

Sorry, that’s just not enough security to part with 8th overall.

Like I said, he’s worth it, but it doesn’t make sense for the Sabres.I understand the hesitation to move a top 10 pick, but Rakell's contract is one of the better values in the league. For two years in this flat cap era you would be getting a top line winger for less than 4M per, and the Ducks could probably take a bit of money back for further incentive.
I don't think he's available for what most on here would call a fair offer, so I won't bother listing what we would want.
What’s the cost to him to Columbus?
guessing something like
Anderson + Bemstrom + Carlson?

If that’s the price CBJ should find a buyer for Anderson + , get a first round pick, flip it and get this done.2021 1st + Bemstrom
28th overall
Brannstrom

Thats prob the best offer so far, some may side with buffalo... depending whos available at 8.Bit late to the discussion, but I think Rakell fits fairly solidly within the timeline of the Canadiens. I think in the next 1-5 years we're looking to make a push while Price, Petry and Weber are still around. Rakell is similarly aged to the Danault/Gallagher/Tatar part of the team as well.
I'm perfectly comfortable giving up pick 16 + Brook + 2020 2nd for Rakell.
If the Ducks miss out on Drysdale at 6th... Habs will trade you Domi for the 8th OA (we can try to sign him to the offer you like before the trade)... As long as if the Ducks want to move Rakell for the 16th and Brook. If The Ducks say no to Rakell, I think we keep Domi.
Seems like there might be a fit there for all teams from the conversations I have had.

Honestly there are probably 7+ other forwards the management + coaching staff would trade for cap reasons before Lehkonen so I doubt it goes there.I could see taking back someone like Lehkonen if needed to balance out the cap a bit. Wouldn't want to add much of anything in return though, as we could probably just sign someone of similar value in FA.
If the Ducks do move Rakell, it would be a good idea to get a proven NHL winger to as a placeholder for the top 9, even if only a 3rd line type. Trying to avoid handing jobs to kids until they force their way in.
We would be looking at Silfverberg, Heinen, Milano, Terry, Comtois and Jones filling out the top 9 winger spots without Rakell.
I can't imagine any scenario where Ducks give up 8OA for an unsigned 50ish point RFA
Not much since we moved him to wing... he never really panned out as a top 6 center, looks more comfortable at wingHow much Center has Rakell played?
Pretty much to fill in for injuries is my understanding. Like he can but you don't want him to sort of thing.How much Center has Rakell played?

Domi is not just some 50 pts player. Keep trying
