Canes Trade Talk

[10Ducky10]

Jets fan here...the Jets won't trade Trouba this year and can't trade Buff...would the Canes be interested in Wheeler? We could make it a blockbuster and throw in a 2st and Mathieu Perreault for a better return?

What could we get back for Wheeler, MP and 2018 first rounder?

Wheeler is great and prolly cost a lot. But if/when we trade for top line player he must be younger.

And imo you guys shouldn't trade ur captain.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I think you're looking at the wrong team to move Wheeler to. I'd love to have him, but he doesn't really fit our window. We'd only have him for two years, and by the time he's up, if he even signs, he'll probably get overpaid for a guy at his age at that point. We're probably much more likely to go for a guy or guys that are a better fit for the age range of our build.

 

[DougieSmash]

What about Justin Williams in the offseason? Proven veteran, good possession numbers, probably not that expensive. We could use another good RW.

If Julius Peppers can come back to Carolina so can Justin Williams.

I really like Wheeler, and think he's one of the most under the radar guys that has put up solid play, if we was more like Pitt, I'd be all over getting him. But we need to focus on just building on what RF has done.

Well, other than why would he?

If the Canes were a contender, then sure, but why would Justin Williams go to a team like the Canes in his situation. I don't see it.

Well hell, how many Stanley Cups does he think he deserves?

The same reason Ron Francis came back... we overpay him.

Which he might be inclined to accept once he wins his Cup in Washington.

I don't think he cares if he wins a Cup in Washington. His name is on that Cup multiple times already.

That's like saying millionaires don't care about making millions more.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

That's like saying millionaires don't care about making millions more.

What I'm saying is, it's by no means a lock that he'd go back to Washington, cup or not -- and if he can make more in Raleigh than he can in DC, then I think it's just as likely he takes the money as that he tries for an elusive cup for Ovie.

Again: we're assuming overpayment.

My point exactly. He's trying to get one last bite at that apple, anybody thinking differently really doesn't know athletes.

However, once he goes for the last chance, win, lose, or draw, he's going to be more likely to take the money and run. Plus, I think the Caps would target Oshie more than J-Willie.

 

[geehaad]

Then again, knowing he has precious little time left in The NHL, one could make the argument that he will want one more shot at the Cup every year from now on, and that the difference in overpayment is chump change to someone like JWill, who has been receiving multi-million dollar contracts for well over 10 years, and being a part of a consistently winning team is so much more fun than being on a team that struggles at times.

The end of career logic cuts both ways for someone who's won as much as Williams has. Multi-millionaire athletes go broke not long after retiring all of the time; so maximizing his earnings over these last few years in which he can earn NHL money, could be very tempting.

 

[Nordic*]

A thought.

After drafts if Howard agrees to waive NMC.

Hanifin & Lack to Detroit for Nyqvist/rights to Tatar, 1st 2018, 2nd 2019 & Howard.

You lose give up from a position of strenght + dump Lack. Get a top-6 winger, upgrade over Ward, 1st & 2nd.

Fair deal?

 

[Unsustainable]

We would only look to move Hanifin for a young 1C.

We don't need to use him to dump Lack whose only under contract 1 more season.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Can't say no fast enough to that one.

 

[DougieSmash]

I pray we don't sign Steve Mason.

 

[Nordic*]

Can't say no fast enough to that one.

So, you're sayin' there's a chance!?

 

[Nikita Gucherov]

Sign Shipachyov and Dadonov to play with Aho.

 

[Hulkacaniac]

Sign Shipachyov and Dadonov to play with Aho.

yea wow that would be nice

 

[Breakdowns]

these russians are not that good, trust me, I have seen enough of KHL games
