Tarasenko + Blais
For
Pesce + Necas + Bean

1st, 2 2nd, Necas, Pesce for Tarasenko and ROR

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Dadonov + McCann for Pesce + 2019 2nd (lower pick of BUF or CAR)?

Don’t get or agree with the no defense in 1st rd. You take BPA and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe that was a dig at Francis for taking Fleury/Hanifin/Bean from 2014-16. He kinda has a point with Fleury over Nylander and Ehlers, but Hanifin was a no-brainer at #5 at the time and Bean was the BPA according to the experts at #13 in 2016.
Hindsight is always 20/20 though. Francis had no idea what he had in Slavin and Pesce when he took Fleury. The org was in dire need of D then.

Right now they need to turn one of Faulk/Hamilton/Pesce into a legit 20g guy with term an/or youth on his side. Dealing Skinner and not using their depth at D to plug that hole is a huge misstep from this past off-season.

There were a lot of people who saw the lack of upside with Hanafin.

As a Leaf fan, if Arizona had taken Marner, I was hoping for a trade down to get Werenski, Provorov, or Rantanen(not that I ever thought he’d be what he is now).

 

[KILLger]

Lack of upside? He's trending to become a #1D.

Dadonov + McCann for Pesce + 2019 2nd (lower pick of BUF or CAR)?

How about borgstrom?

 

[Jerkob Slavin]

Kapanen for Slavin.

Nope. If you want Slavin, you gotta think bigger than the likes of Kap or Nylander. Slavin is a core piece and will only be moved for an offer too good to pass up. In other words, Toronto would have to overpay.

Not saying they should, but that is what it’ll take. We have no reason to deal Slavin.

1st, 2 2nd, Necas, Pesce for Tarasenko and ROR

I'll reduce my offer but were not blowing it up, just moving Tara for different pieces.

Tarasenko
For
Pesce Necas and 2019 2nd

 

[Vitto79]

Problem is they wouldn’t want a rental they need a Young D for Young F deal

Tarasenko
For
Pesce Necas and 2019 2nd

Swap Necas for Carolina 1st. Need hope of ever having a good center.

 

[JThorne]

"We won't be drafting defense in the first round as long as I'm here" is a pretty stupid thing for a GM to say regardless of how strong you currently are on the back end.

Owner said it. Not gm.

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

*Canes interested in Jeff Skinner*

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

How about borgstrom?

No bueno amigo

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Kapanen for Slavin.

LOL. Sure might as well swing for the fence on your first time at bat in the big league.

 

[geno2727]

Slavin for Anisimov

 

[IceManCat]

Hoffman ++ for Svechnikov swap ?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Hoffman ++ for Svechnikov swap ?

You're kidding, right?

 

[GoldiFox]

Hoffman ++ for Svechnikov swap ?

Is Hoffman++ code for Barkov?

#2 Overall picks don’t get dealt.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Hoffman ++ for Svechnikov swap ?

We won't accept in-conference trades. Send him to SJ first, we'd rather deal with Wilson.

 

[Lempo]

They should check out this young scorer in Western NY

Think his name is Skeff Jinner

No goddamn Jenner in my team, can't stand the drama.

Seems rather destructive to a team if they cut off trade talks to half the league. As long as it makes your club better why worry about an inter conference trade? (though I certainly wouldn't do that Hoffman deal as suggested).

 

[Medinab31]

Tyler Tofolli makes all kinds of sense here.

Indeed. Carolina already had a trade fall apart with a Western team at the last minute. Seems like St Louis and LA are the obvious links. Wonder if Carter threatening to retire if he got traded to a bad team is related. Carter + Toffoli would have done a lot to fix the Canes issues and they have many good futures that LA might be interested in.
