Anybody have an opinion on Brett Pesce out of Carolina ??
Good young defenceman. He's the guy they'd 'want' to move over Faulk or Slavin to make an improvement at forward - couple Canes fans chiming in with Pesce + in the Pulju thread which is meh.
Carolina is going to have a hell of a young D corps in the coming years with Slavin, Pesce, Faulk, Hanifin, Bean, and Fleury all either playing well in the NHL now or in the pipeline. If their forward depth and goaltending weren't downright brutal this season, they'd have been a playoff team.
Come to think of it they're a very logical landing spot for Eberle or RNH post expansion draft, or even before then. Something around Eberle and Pesce could help both sides. They also have three second round picks this coming draft - could be a team to watch in the coming months. They also have cap space for days and days and days - only 45 million and change committed to next season and nothing at all for major signings.
I'm guessing they're probably going to want to find a landing spot for Ward or Lack...
Eberle and Pouliot
For
Pesce, Ward and a 2nd?
Pesce is expansion exempt, and the Canes don't have enough forwards to give a rat's behind about the expansion draft.
Ward's signed for one more year at 3.3 million, Lack one more at 2.75.
Guessing Canes fans would want RNH instead.
