Ducks are screwed unless they trade Vatanen away. Even with Bieksa reportedly willing to waive his NMC (another reason to hate that guy as a Flames fan) they still have 4 very good young Dmen to protect
Lindholm
Fowler
Manson
Vatanen
Also, they can't go with the 8-1 option or they risk they'd have to expose one of Rackell or Silverberg.
The Wild have 5 D they need to protect, so they will lose a good Dman no matter what. If it isn;t Brodin it will be Dumba, Scandella or Spurgeon. All legit top 4 Dmen.
