If the top prospects are off the table for a player with type of term, as has been discussed ad nauseam in the Pacioretty threads, 15OA would be the logical piece.

Huberdeau - Barkov - Dadonov
Skinner - Trocheck - Bjugstad

Looking at that, I'd prefer the Canes trade him out of conference.

Skinner is a much better target for Florida than Pac, good fit age wise and adds speed.

 

[Holy Jokinen]

I'm all about Skinner. He works very well in our top 6. And his price doesn't seem to be super high right now.

Make the move, Dale.

It’s gotta be high enough for us to trade him. Don’t think you’re getting him cheap. This isn’t a fire sale.

15OA + Mark Pysyk?

 

[Brock Anton]

15OA + Mark Pysyk?

Zero need for a defenseman.

 

[Dabeast]

I'd love Skinner, pls don't give Borgs tho

 

[David Suzuki]

15th overall + Bjugstad for Skinner and a 2nd or 3rd round pick?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would skinner want to re-sign there tho? Pacioretty has connections with Florida so he would likely agree on a contract extension.

His next contract is screaming for trouble so to me that wouldn't add any extra value on Pac.

I assumed you guys are trading multiple dmen this offseason but fair enough. McCann? Solid enough 3C who could get a nice top 6 look on a rebuilding team.

 

[Halla]

15 overall +Hawryluk?

 

[Bure1096]

15 overall +Hawryluk?

Done

Carolina isn’t a rebuilding team and has plenty of third liners.

Well if we're offering 15th overall, the + won't be a top 6 forward. It will be a younger prospect with top 6 potential.

If you can get a better offer than 15th + a young 3C like McCann, so be it.

 

[Savant]

15 for Skinner makes too much sense. No need to overcomplicate things.

 

[emptyNedder]

Zero need for a defenseman.

That could be dependent on if Faulk is moved. Because if Faulk returns a 20-goal forward, then Pysyk as a partner for Hanifin (who most likely stays if Faulk goes) would be a good addition to the 15th overall.

I saw a quote from McKenzie about the asking price being a first and a prospect. I'll try and find the link

 

[Lays]

Panthers offense can be scary good in a few years (assuming everyone lives up to potential and Skinner is traded there)

Huberdeau-Barkov-Dadonov
Skinner-Trocheck-Bjugstad
Heponiemi-Borgstrom-Tippett
Mamin-McCann-Malgin/Hawryluk

Although I doubt Skinner-Trocheck would work well due to their play styles. Even without Skinner, Panthers have a potentially elite offense there

It was LeBrun, but Waddell refuted it.

Canes GM says it's a safe bet that young star Svechnikov will be team's draft pick

The direction Carolina is going in is a total unknown. The insiders have yet to even speculate about it.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

 

[PensandCaps]

Bjugstad and the 15th for Rask and Skinner.

Even if that were the case, not all 1at round picks are equal now when we know the draft order.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Bjugstad and the 15th for Rask and Skinner.

Bjugstad is playing wing for us just because we are stacked at center. So Rask is really not interesting at all.

Even if that were the case, not all 1at round picks are equal now when we know the draft order.

Yeah I personally hold that 15OA quite a bit more valuable compared to a, let's say, 20-25OA pick this year.

If the Panthers are trading a first rounder, I'd rather try to make it a 2019 one.
