Nope.

 

[GBLeaf]

Doesn't really help the Leafs much.

Infact, they get older and more expensive.

Infact, they get worse and save money that they don't need to save.

You're getting passive aggressive with the wrong poster, dude.

Wasn't my idea.

 

[The S5]

We have now moved into the realm of the absurd.

I wouldn't say the Canes would get worse, Dermott has been pretty steady for his age. 22 and in his first full season. This deal would be a no go just for the simple fact swapping a D for a D wouldn't help both teams.

 

[spockBokk]

Did you give any thought into what CAR's needs are? Any idea why they'd even entertain trading away Pesce?...hmmm...no.

Awful proposal.

 

[GBLeaf]

Taking away one of our cost controlled younger Dmen, which is gonna be so important to the Leafs in the coming years.

Seems like a few have a taken personal offence though and taken it out of context.

Your problem, not mine.

They get worse because they give up a better defenseman for a worse defenseman

 

[Cmac66]

Don’t get me wrong I think dermott is a good player but no way would you get pesce one for one.

They quite clearly get worse.

When I offer you fifty cents for your one dollar... who gets the worse end of that deal?

 

[WilliamNylander]

Dubas would never do this

Dermott is already better and younger

I would disagree.

1) He'd be bottom pairing on Carolina behind Slavin and CDH. Strengthening the bottom pairing at the expense of a top 4 D makes the team worse.
2) I like Dermott, but he still hasn't faced the level of competition that Pesce has and shown he can handle that load like Pesce has shown for multiple years. Pesce, right now, is a better player. That may change down the road as Dermott is 2 years younger and I think he has more offensive potential than Pesce, but right now, that's not the case.

I agree though, that it makes no sense swapping D for D. From a Canes POV, they need a forward back if they are trading one of their RHD and this doesn't accomplish that. Toronto fills one hole and creates 1 hole (particularly when Gardiner is gone next year). They also need Dermott's low cap hit right now.

 

[Newsworthy]

Awful trade for the Canes.

Are we talking about hockey or something else? In no shape or form Dermott is a better NHL defender than Pesce.

 

[ER89]

Canes fans, where would you like to go to dinner? I insist, it is the least I can do for you folks. Before y'know...

 

[GoldiFox]

Kadri for Wallmark

Same type of ridiculous deal. Canes would rather be the one getting the proven talent for the magic beans.

 

[Macheteops]

Leaf fans just doing what they do best..

I don't think it's clear, it will be clear after next year when Dermott slots into the second D pairing after Gardiner's departure. Dermott is 22 in only his first full season. At the end of the day the Canes only lose out because they don't need D.

No, this is a terrible proposal. I can't believe you think it is a good one.

 

[BM14]

Carolina needs to add + stop their bush league antics in order for Toronto to grace them with Dermott.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Toronto saying no... You do know that Pesce is already their #1D right ?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah Carolina doesn't do this, Any deal for Brett Pesce starts with at least Kaspri Kapanen.
