Thats awful for EDM as is the OP.
EDM needs two things: more scoring wingers and a top 4 RD.
Giving up a C they are playing at W and their only upside winger to add a LD, when they already have Nurse, Klefbom, Sekera and Russel as LD? Thats awful.
I could see something around 10 OA and Faulk from an EDM POV.
I don't think Ceci has as much value as he used to. Not enthused about taking him back.Hoffman and Ceci
There is your scoring winger & your #4 RD
Send the 10th overall and a 2nd next year I’d even take Kassian for the remainder of his contract to free up salary.
I don't think Ceci has as much value as he used to. Not enthused about taking him back.
I like Hoffman, but would he waive for Edmonton?
Due to cap constraints more than Kassian's salary has to go the other way if we're picking up Hoffman ($5.187 Million) and Ceci (RFA).
It will in fact take overpayment to get Hanafin out of Carolina. I think Faulk would be more affordable.I agree with everything you said above.
However Hanifin isn't worth the 10th and RNH. That is an overpayment. As 'Canes fans you might argue that it would take an overpayment to move Hanifin. While this is debatable, I can guarantee you Edmonton is not the club to make any such offer. They have a lot of LHD. They're short on RHD.
Not the right fit for Edmonton at this time. Now if they move one of their LHD in another deal....
Is there a reasonable, mutually beneficial deal that could bring Pesce to Edmonton? I know he isn’t the ppqb that Edmonton wants, but his handed ness and acumen would go a long way to solidifying our back end.
RNH + 2nd for Hanifin + 4th.
Seems like a good swap.
