Both and a top prospect

Both is hard to stomach. So to me if you want both, you'll need to give up 2 out of these 3.

1st rounder 2021
1st rounder 2022
Swayman

That satisfies the 1st OR top prospect for each of Manson and Rakell.

So now it's the "plus". Safe to assume the "plus" will be lesser asset(s) than the 3 mentioned above. So for arguments sake let's select from the next tier of prospects/young players. So pick one of Studnicka/Frederic/Beecher/etc.

Can a team that has now dealt a 1st or 2nd rounder in 4 consecutive drafts, has virtually no high-end skater prospects to speak of, really afford to give Anaheim another Top 30 pick, a second Top 30 pick or their best prospect in Swayman, AND a choice of prospects from the next tier, to have Manson and Rakell for the remainder of this season and next? I haven't even looked at the cap implications.

It's a stiff price for a team that has spent considerable currency the past few years chasing success. Seems more like a move for a team that has been stockpiling for awhile and now believes their time has come.

Now that we're loaded at LW I'd like to see something like DeBrusk+ for Mantha.


edit: didn't realize he's a left shot too...not ideal meh

 

[KrugAvoy]

I think they are waiting to see if they successfully claimed one of the D on waivers before seeing if they need to make a trade for D. If not they instead make a trade for a RW

 

[elMatador]

If Laine was available would you go for it?

Would DeBrusk + Zboril +1st +3rd be too much or too little?

 

[Gordoff]

Wouldn't mind some Zadorov. I remember watching a couple games when he was on Colorado, and that dude can hit HARD.

Yeah, he's one, big, animal!

ANH has Gibson locked up long-term, why would they want Swayman? On top of that, why would Boston trade Swayman?

 

[Mione134]

No way I'm trading Swayman

Cmon people!

 

[sarge88]

DeHaan for cheap would be good. Problem is he is another Lefty. We need a RD for the 3rd pairing and in case of injury.

Dom mentioned Chicago as being a possible partner.

Connor Murphy and Zadorov both play RD for Chicago and there's Janmark who is listed as LW/C who has been rumored to be moved.

Maybe Sweeney will be moving out Kuraly and/or Wagner, or Frederic for a pick and will use Janmark as 4C defensive specialist?

Soderberg is there too and is UFA after this year --- he's a LW/C so he'd only make sense as a 4C --- unless they move JDB for a defenseman.
