NHL Trade Rumors were going around at the NHL trade deadline that the Anaheim Ducks lets teams know they were willing to trade Rikard Rackell and Josh Manson.
GM Bryan Murray could not get a trade completed for either player as the asking price was too high. He was asking for a 1st round draft pick and top prospect for each player.
As the Ducks are in full re-build mode, they will look at trading Rackell and Manson this off-season. Murray will also sit down with Ryan Getzlaf and ask what he wants to do? Will he stay will the team and help with a rebuild? Or will he be traded to a Stanley Cup contender in hopes of winning another Stanley Cup.
One interesting trade that could happen in the off-season for the Ducks is trading their goaltender John Gibson. NHL rumors are going around that Gibson does not want to be part of a rebuilding team and the Ducks appear to be years away from being a contender.
The Colorado Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins were a few of the teams that had interest in Gibson at the trade deadline.
