The Anaheim Ducks are open to moving defenseman Josh Manson before the trade deadline.

"They are listening," TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading."

"They've had a few calls on Josh Manson, but teams are going to have to step up," LeBrun added.

Manson is in his seventh season with the Ducks, who drafted him 160th overall in 2011.

The 29-year-old missed time earlier this season with injuries and is averaging a career-low 17:04 in ice time across 13 games entering Tuesday's action. However, he ranks 29th among NHL blue-liners in takeaways per 60 minutes in 2021.

Manson, who's signed through 2021-22, carries a cap hit of $4.1 million. He's due to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of his contract.

The Ducks held the league's second-worst record prior to their game against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.
