Been proposed a few times and no one likes it.
Funny how you snuck Hanifin in there, too.

Never seen the proposal. And yeah I agree it is funny how Hanifin is in there.
Canes really can’t afford to give up a franchise player on an ELC for a guy making $8.5 million. They are a budget team. Dundon will take the cheaper star winger.

I don’t see why the Oilers trade Draisaitl for the 2nd overall pick, which is basically the gist of this.
No way the canes will trade exactly what the team needs...canes are desperate for top level talent. Will take a massive overpayment to get that pick, your offer is underwhelming to say the least.....
Svechnikov would be devastating with McDavid imo but getting him (and Hanifin for some reason??) is a pipe dream scenario at best. teams don't just give away elite prospects on ELC's for elite players making $8.5M. that dramatic increase in expenditure weighs heavily in the "cons" tally of this deal for Carolina.

Just virtually trade the 2nd overall for a bucket of chicken. Maybe people will believe it's gone and leave Carolina alone.

I don’t think they would and it’s nothing against Draisaitl.
The way the rest of the deal shakes out I wouldn’t do that either.
If neither Aho or Necas looked promising as a center, I’d do this. But they both look like it is worth waiting to see if they develop into one at this point and this makes the Canes need to do a deal like this too low to justify the extra salary.

It’s obviously not a likely scenario; however, it is hockey related, so why not post it?
This post was just an idea of getting look at how some players are valued.
Now it seem like the Hurricanes fans hate this offer, my next question would be if hypothetically Draisaitl were on a 6.5 million cap hit, would you still not be interested?
I’d love Draisaitl on the Canes at his contract now. But I think one of Aho or Necas will fill that positional need, so I don’t think it is worth trading the assets necessary to get him. If I didn’t think either was capable of being a center, I’d do it.

This proposal is difficult to understand for the Oilers.
EDM offers Draisaitl, already a strong proven 1C/2C for 2nd OA Svechnikov in hopes he becomes a better player. 10th + 2nd round for Hanifin - LHD seems to be good value, but the Oilers need RHD.
Canes finally get the coveted 1C, albeit expensive with term. Losing Hanifin hurts, but they might get more pieces if packaged separately. Doubt they make this deal to trade for an expensive player when the team has the fewest fans in the league and bleeding money.
A poor fit, both teams pass.

People think the 2nd overall is worth a lot more than Draisitl?
If Svechnikov puts up 70 and 77 point seasons before the age of 23 you would be estatic, let alone the fact one of them is a big bodied center while the other is a winger and magic beans at this point.
Maybe It doesn't fit in with Carolina's time frame i get that but it's likely Draisaitl is the better player at the end of the day who plays a more important position. He is getting paid what young players who put up almost 80 points gets paid.

If I am EDM I seriously consider this as PC has painted them in a corner regarding CAP space. You still have RNH who can play 2C. He certainly is not as good as Drai but you added two players either on ELC or in Hanifin's case just getting his first and you could likely lock him up for 6 for 4 million ish. Hanifin also has the ability to grow into a top end D.
Adding an elite winger in Svechnikov would be deadly.
As many have said Canes get their 1C which is much needed and can draft Bouchard or Dobson at 10 to replace Hannifin. Yes I am aware one plays LHD and the other RHD but if we have learned one thing RHD are usually harder to come by.

If Hanifin is traded, it is because his demands are too big for the Canes, so forget about 4M$ ish.

I actually think it’s a really good proposal. And for those saying Svech has more value than Leon, that’s so false. Leon is essentially a very young franchise caliber C. You would be absolutely thrilled if Svech turns out to be that caliber of player.
I understand what kind of caliber prospect Svech is, but he’s still a prospect. Honestly him and Pulju were in a very similar tier in their respective draft years. Leon is a young known commodity which is a slam dunk.

Hanifin isn’t as good as Pesce who just signed 6 years x $4 million. Hanifin won’t get much more than that. Likely a ~$3-4 million x 2 year bridge.

‘Draisaitl’s Draisaitl, But Svechnikov could be anything! He could even be Draisaitl!’
‘Peter...’
‘We’ll take the pick!’
Seriously though, why. Just why. We already hit a grand slam with the Draisaitl pick, why trade him at 22 for a mystery box?

The Oilers are looking to add players who can contribute right now. They need a top RW, a middle 6 winger and a RHD PMD.
Trading Draisaitl for a player who might be as good as him doesn't make any sense.
I am on record stating I like Hanifin. A lot. However, he isn't what the Oilers are looking for.
I see that Carolina fans are saying they wouldn't do this trade... in my opinion they come out way ahead.

It would hurt to lose Leon, but dealing him and adding Svech and Hanifin would be a pretty good return. Those are high end players that would round out your roster.
I also get passing on it. Leon is a huge stud.
