Erg...that’s a tough one. I think they only move him if they fall drastically out of contention. The tough part here is that CAR really has no need of futures as they already have 6 picks in the first three rounds this year.

I’d imagine a decent prospect in goal would be enticing or a skater close to the NHL. Otherwise, I suppose the standard 2nd + marginal prospect would be the order of the day.

a 2nd round pick is my guess

No.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Nearly 20% of Carolina's remaining games post-deadline are against Pittsburgh. Haula for what the Penguins would be willing to give up is not only weakening the team, but also strengthening the opposition. The Canes would need to be clear sellers for there to be a fit.

Pittsburgh is looking for a top six forward. Haula isn't one of those. We don't need another C either. So, the obvious answer is Pittsburgh has no interest. Haula isn't a need at all.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Haula at 3C would push McCann to wing which isn't bad if we can't get a wing in trade we like.

It wasn’t a Canes fan that asked what he’d cost. They likely don’t want to trade him.

Haula is pacing 27 goals and 47 points. Winning faceoffs at a 55% rate. Excellent net-front presence. He's a perfect #3C or top-9 winger for a Playoff run.

I'd guess the cost would be something like a 2nd round pick. I'd prefer to ship him out West to a team like Edmonton though. This is assuming the Canes aren't contending for a Playoff spot by the TDL.

Canes shouldn't be traded to a rival right now. Send him to someone like VAN or EDM. I'd love him back in MN, but it doesn't make any sense for a variety of reasons...unless we can interest you in this really cool Swedish C...

I would never dream of taking Victor Rask from so loving a team as the Wild...

We still have Bjugstad coming back ..no need.. pass move on

 

[57special]

Well, I meant Joel Ericksson Ek(who is very cool), but if you insist, VICTOR RASK IT IS!!!
