I'll take it for a UFA

 

[Dabeast]

Considering that Darling is a UFA it's pretty terrible for Carolina unless they are sure they can sign him

 

[Brock Anton]

Well, bye bye Lack because I imagine we can sign him if we're trading a 3rd for his rights.

 

[NoShowWilly]

so do they protect darling then and expose both lack and ward?

 

[Beautvillier]

great move for the canes if he signs

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Have to think it's conditional

 

[GetFocht]

It's a good trade, Scott Darling has produced well. I'm sure he will sign with Carolina

 

[Jumptheshark]

Well, bye bye Lack because I imagine we can sign him if we're trading a 3rd for his rights.

Lack is getting run out of town

 

[MBTendy]

Was hoping he'd come to Dallas.

 

[Identity404]

Can't see how Ronnie would make this trade without knowing he would sign considering how conservative he is. 3rd round pick seems high regardless.

 

[KPower]

so do they protect darling then and expose both lack and ward?

Of course, lack and ward are terrible.

The jury is out on Darling.

 

[Leafidelity]

Credit to the Canes for being proactive and trying to jump the July 1st list

 

[MinJaBen]

I approve this message!

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

But can he make a ****ing save?

 

[Il Stugotz]

He saved the Hawks' ***** in 2015. Seems to be a well-liked and positive guy from what the media says about him.

 

[McMetal]

A 3rd is pretty steep for just a leg up on negotiation rights to a pending UFA. Not much chance Darling doesn't sign, but it shows that there must have been other teams bidding to push the price up to a late 3rd.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Good job 'Canes, like seeing a team be proactive.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Great acquisition if they can get him signed

I cant see why he wont sign

We're also desperate, and have a ton of picks.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

I approve this message!

I don't. I much rather would have tried to trade for Fleury.

 

[Brock Anton]

I don't. I much rather would have tried to trade for Fleury.

Me too, but there's a fairly good chance that we were on Fleury's no move list.

 

[TLEH]

Darling is really good. I wouldn't be upset if I was Carolina I would be ecstatic. He will sign and he will stop pucks.

 

[Tifosi]

Fair trade for both teams, you guys will love Darling.

 

[JT Kreider]

Great for the Canes. I'm loving them to make serious noise in the Metro as soon as next season.

They have a top 5 defense that will only improve and one of the deepest prospect pools.
