Proposal: Edmonton Carolina

[olli]

Leon Draisaitl, 2018 2nd round pick For Sebastion Aho, Noah Hanifin
Carolina gets a 1C, Edmonton gets a winger to play with Mcdavid and a young D with lots of potential. Does this make sense for either team? Who adds and what do they add?

I wouldn’t do it. Giving up the best player in the deal and not really addressing the D enough.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Carolina would get massively screwed here.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Too much for the Canes. The gap between drai and aho isnt noah hanifin.

 

[booyakasha]

Carolina gives up too much in this deal, though would love to have Hannifin as an Oiler.
Edmonton really needs a #1 RHD, especially if they are giving up Draisaitl.
Both teams decline.

No...I figure it's the Canes 2nd and a decent spec like Saarela, Foegele or Wallmark.

No interest in this proposal. The Canes are getting pillaged.

Don't like moving Drai. Aho and Hanifin both good players, and not a terrible offer, but I'd rather move pieces for Faulk and keep Drai.

jesse p for hanifan.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

no thank you

horrible for the canes lol

It would take a deal like that to get Draisaitl moved out of Edmonton. That being said I think the 'Canes want to keep Aho and Hanifin.

Not sure what, if any, reason Edmonton would trade for Hanifin. We already have more LHD than we know what to do with. He’s never run a powerplay at the NHL level. What does he bring that we lack?

From the Carolina side of things, they’re definitely giving up a lot, but guys with Draisaitl’s elite #1 C upside are hard to find.

He’s got back to back 70 point seasons now.

Only one player younger than he is has more points than he does over the last two seasons (and I’m sure you can guess who).

He’s also emerging as an elite faceoff man, someone Edmonton can throw over the boards in key situations where they desperately need a win (56% on draws, good for 12th in the NHL among players to take more than 200 face offs).

The point is this. Yes, it’s a lot for Carolina to give up - and no, I still don’t think I’d pull the trigger if I were the GM. I like Aho, he’s going to be a bet good player in this league. I think Hanifin will be a top 4 defenceman for a very long time.

I would still say no and be pretty comfortable in doing so.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I don't think Carolina does this trade.

Faulk is junk a liability of a player , can never figure out Oiler fans attraction to him , he would make our defense worse like he has the Canes for years , it just proves to me they never watch the pylon and just read his pp stats. Worst defensenman in NHL at defending .
