Speculation: Canes need Top 6 Forward

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Dzingle + Ceci vs Pesce + third pick

Dzingle pending UFA and Ceci have nowhere close to value as Brett Pesce.

I was told defense wins it all and that canes have the best d in the nhl.. Have they scored 2 goals in a game in the last 2 weeks and since Nylander signed?

Yeah we beat you guys 5-2 a little over two weeks ago.

You don’t remember that 5-2 beat down the Canes gave the Leafs? Where Slavin was clowning Marner the entire game? Surely you remember, it was embarrassing.

Weird argument given the circumstances.

 

[McDNicks17]

Would the ghost of Ryan Spooner interest you?

 

[RodTheBawd]

Gimme Jeff Carter.

To be fair that’s a statement about team defence as it’s easier to keep the puck out of the net than it is to score.

Canes D is excellent. Lack of scoring and a quality tender is their issue.

It would be a Canes move to miss on Nylander and then overpay for some other meh player to replace Skinner after moving him in the offseason.

At this point I'm very afraid they will overreact and give away valuable pieces for a meh return. They just need to hold onto their 1st and see what they can get for Faulk and/or TVR at the deadline.

Take a note from the Jets. It took a while to get there but the depth they got and the quality of players they got from just drafting and being patient paid off. The defense is strong and young. The forwards have some good pieces but are young and need to develop. The prospect cupboard is overflowing.

Add another top 10 draft pick and a goalie and they are a playoff team. Hell just get them a goalie that can play 60 games at a decent level. If McStarter was 10 years younger the team would be fine but he can't play at a high level for an entire season.

I agree. What scares me is the impatience of our owner and the competence of our GM. They don't seem like the same quality of management as what the Jets have had.

 

[Riptide]

The only interim move I think they should make is bringing in Brassard for something like Buffalo’s 2nd.

I don't think PIT would move him for a 2nd, but I do think there's options there to get a deal done - and no I don't think it would cost Carolina any of their young studs.

 

[Highway29]

Faulk for Skinner

 

[Fat Elvis]

Gimme Jeff Carter.

Something around Carter for Kuokkanen

 

[Jozay]

Sounds like they could use a Jeff Skinner.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Nikolay Goldobin. Pure offence, still learning the game without the puck.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Dzingel
for
TVR + pick/prospect

I could see a deal like that provided the Sens plan to trade Ceci elsewhere.

 

[WangMustGo]

Eberle, Nelson, and Lee are all ufas at season end. Take your pick.

 

[bernmeister]

Honest ?, does Faulk have any mobility left, or is he quickly turning into an anchor?
Don't see him enuf to know, and it is huge factor on value.

 

[paine]

Silfverberg for conditional 2nd round pick (becomes a first in 2019 or 2020 if he resigns).

 

[ManofSteel55]

Carolina would be a good spot for Spooner to rekindle his offensive game. Playing under Hitchcock won't help him much in Edmonton, but Carolina could. Spooner and a marginal add for Rask?

 

[kings11]

Dustin Brown-Leader
Jeff Carter- 2 way player
Tyler Toffoli- Sniper
Are all available and have reasonable caphits... what’s the offer and what are you looking for...

 

[LeafSteel]

Wait it out and sign Skinner

Ouch....

Well played sir,well played.....

 

[Michoulicious]

Forget about the forwards... Carolina needs a damn goalie. McElhinney was saving the day, but he is not the solution.

Its been like that for a while now, I really don't know why they don't address it seriously. The way they struck out on Grubauer is unacceptable... I don't accept the premise that Washington did not want to trade in-division. They should just have really outbid Colorado and made it happen. Giving a pick just a few spot higher was rightfully not enough for Washington to give them Grubauer.

They better send everything at Bobrovsky in the offseason...

Carter/Toffoli + Petersen but it’ll cost you a lot! The kid is way better than anything the Carolina has!

 

[Kranix]

Why would they trade for a forward when they have so many future all-stars percolating in the AHL?
