Confirmed Trade: [CAR/FLA] Vincent Trocheck for Erik Haula, Lucas Wallmark, Chase Priskie, and Eetu Luostarinen

[hi]

Carolina traded Haula because he told Ayres that it's ok if he gave up 10 goals

That's not very jerklike

 

[Zetterbeer]

Isn't Necas looking like the future 2C? Seems like a lot to give up for a guy who could be replaced from within in a year or two.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Seems like an odd trade...

 

[justafan22]

Seems like Florida's dumping salary again

 

[Fro]

From brodin wishes to Haula....yikes

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Wow.. i didn't expect Trocheck to move right now.

This is one of the more interesting TDL trades i've seen in a long time considering where both teams are. I guess the Panthers think Haula can do the job and Wallmark provides some needed center depth.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

I like this for Florida.

 

[Lapa]

Great deal for Florida.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Weird to see zero picks exchanged considering Carolina has 6 in the first 3 rounds this year.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Why are the Panthers doing this? Shake up of the core?

Q has his type of players and I would bet he doesn't like trochek. You almost never get out of the Q doghouse

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I guess Florida was hell-bent on trading him...

That's a pretty average return for a guy that was a regular in the Brodin conversation.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Ok who's the other prospect beside Priskie?
CAR fans, give us some details on both of the prospects please

 

[WingsMJN2965]

How does Ottawa get a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Pageau, and FLA gets this? LOL.

I'm not sure on the quality of the prospects but I know you guys just got two really good forwards.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

All Florida fans are happy, anyone saying this is bad hasn't watched Trocheck in years

 

[780il]

Seems horrible for Florida...

 

[UnleashRasmus]

I like Wallmark a bit, and he adds a quality down the middle for Florida. Haula has been hit and miss from the stats I've seen, but he's a quality two way player. Priskie and Luostarinen are interesting prospects. I'm not sure either is a sure thing.

 

[Michoulicious]

Can see Haula thrive in Florida. Hopefully he is healthy enough.

 

[llamateizer]

who is the seller in that trade?

 

[andora]

Personally - i think Wallmark + Quennville could be gold. Remember when Marcus Kruger played so strong? could be similar situation with Wallmark having more offensive ability

But, i really like Wallmark

Q likes players that help the team win.

Man i can't believe buffalo didn't go after him, 2c is our biggest need and florida got next to nothing for him. Haula UFA wallmark bottom 6ix two prospect. come on now im pissed.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I'm not sure on the quality of the prospects but I know you guys just got two really good forwards.

Ya I know Haula and Wallmark are pure effort guys but unsure of the Euro prospect. Priskie is a FLA born guy.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think Carolina already won this trade. Unless one of those four players turn into a stud for the Panthers. But Florida has improved their depth, but Trochek will provide more offence for the Hurricanes. Also, the Canes have a bunch of very good prospects ready to fill in those voids.

 

[Bazeek]

Not what I expected, but it gives Florida better center depth behind Barkov. Haula's kind of a wildcard with his injuries, but he's a good player when he's on.
