Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] Trevor van Riemsdyk re-signs with the Canes (2 years, $2.3M AAV)

[Chan790]

Can't help but think all these trades and signings on the Canes blue line is hurting any potential Faulk trade value

Someone always needs goals from the blue-line and is willing to pay for it. We have time to wait for our right deal.

 

[The Red Mile]

As an outsider does Kadri for Faulk not make sense for both teams?

 

[Flukeshot]

That's a great group of D. No one even close to 30 either.

I’d be on board, but leafs fans aren’t gonna want to trade Kadri. No sense in breaking up the deepest center group in the league.

 

[Dr Quincy]

As an outsider does Kadri for Faulk not make sense for both teams?

Nope. As an outsider Kadri has been the by far better player the last 2 years and is on a great contract. CAR would have to add.

Matthews for Slavin + Pesce

 

[Moosetache]

That won't go well....

This is really quite amazing:

Matthews for Slavin + Pesce

The crazy thing is that Carolina could ice a decently slotted defense after that trade.

de Haan - Hamilton
Fleury - Faulk
Bean - van Riemsdyk

 

[GoldiFox]

Matthews for Slavin + Pesce

Obviously yes. As much as it hurts to lose a top-pair signed for 6-7 years under $10 million... it’s Austin Matthews. Of course Toronto isn’t ever moving Matthews.

Can't help but think all these trades and signings on the Canes blue line is hurting any potential Faulk trade value

Can’t help but not understand that thinking.

The canes are hardly desperate to move Faulk, especially early for cheap. Many teams could use a young righty D who can score and has two years left on an affordable contract.

Why would it hurt? The moves make a guy available. It’s probably Faulk. Seems like it only helps.

 

[Critical13]

I agree with Freidman that Faulk will be dealt.

 

[Henkka]

If that’s the case, Carolina will keep him and happily run with Hamilton-Pesce-Faulk-TVR as rhds.

Then Faulk will happily run towards free agency.

Bad asset management.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Then Faulk will happily run against free agency.

Cool. He can do that in two seasons when he’s a UFA.

 

[Notsince67]

No, we can do better. Kapanen doesn't give us anything we don't already have and the Leafs first will be late.

Add Sparks

 

[dogbazinho]

In 2 years sure. More pressing would be expansion draft but he'll be traded before then.

 

[staalgood]

Add Sparks

We'll just pick up Sparks when you guys put him on waivers.

 

[Notsince67]

As an outsider does Kadri for Faulk not make sense for both teams?

Not really. It is difficult to get improved incremental value when the 8th highest scoring center in league for the last 2 years (and our only shut down center) is being paid $4.5MM for 4 more years.

 

[Notsince67]

That's not nice

Lol ok. You don't understand how Carolina looks like they clearly have an overcrowded blue line and it isn't very on the nose to every other GM and think they can low ball Carolina.
Whether Carolina accepts or not is a different story. But it's like having three $6+ mil centers. Sure you can keep all them and don't NEED to move one, but it's not smart cap management to pay your 3C that much and who won't produce at the needed levels to warrant that pricetag with third line wingers

Again, if you're paying a guy almost $5 mil to play your third pair, something's wrong and your roster is incredibly imbalanced

 

[staalgood]

That's not nice

Unless you start trading some goalies it looks like multiple ones will be on waivers before the season starts.

Honestly, i have always like Pickard as a back-up. If Carolina had a good goalie i would pick him up to be t hf e #2.

 

[staalgood]

I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but if Carolina can't get the right price for Faulk, they could Byfuglien him. Play him on the 4th line and have him quarterback the 2nd PP unit. If an injury happens, like Pesce last season, we have a great fill-in.

Sounds like the Canes should find that team with the 3 Centers and make a swap.

Winnipeg just made the Conference Finals with more committed to their 3 RHD than Carolina has committed to Pesce, Hamilton and Faulk.

The Canes have Svechnikov and Necas on ELCs for 3 seasons. That makes the threat of Carolina keeping Faulk until he goes to UFA plausible. An internal threshold of value should exist here.

If Jake Bean is ready then someone needs to make way.
