I like this deal for Carolina. They pay for Bad Paquette and Not-Used Galchenyuk, give up no draft picks, and hope that they strike lightning in a bottle with one of the two.
Confirmed Trade: [OTT/CAR] Ryan Dzingel for Cedric Paquette and Alex Galchenyuk

Yes. Didn’t mesh with anyone in the top 6 and isn’t a good bottom 6 player so he basically wasn’t bringing anything to the team while being paid $3.3 mil

He was the worst forward in Goals/60 from the start of last season through today. Dead last. He wasn't good enough to get consistent top 6 time and really isn't cut out to play 4th line. He was scratched a number of times last year and other than 2nd PP unit, wasn't getting much opportunity this year either.
Maybe Brindy mis-used him, but that's irrelevant because that's the only usage he was going to get in Carolina so it was better to move on from him.

Melnyk probably even saves on jersey, just pulls old one from shelve
He’s gonna need a new number.

Dzingel wasn’t given much of a shot. Paquette fills a need of 4C punisher.
chucky, while useless, has a cap hit small enough that on the taxi squad carries no hit. We have around 3 million in cap space for a deadline deal that is equivalent to a 5-6 million dollar player. We can get more useful scoring if needed.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
Poor Galchenyuk he's been such a suitcase and can't find security when it comes to an NHL team.
Poor Dzingel because he just can't escape the Ottawa Senators.
Wonder if Galchenyuk could break a record for most NHL teams played for.
Other question for me here is why wasn't it Stepan considering I understand he wants out of Ottawa.

Galchenyuk basically takes the spot of Dzingel - depth skill forward who is most likely going to be scratched a lot
Obviously they felt like they could use a 4C with cup experience.

There is not much punish left in Paquette. He's been really bad from day 1. Galchenyuk at least has a laser shot on the PP that could be useful.

I would bet we see something different on a squad that wants to compete.
Dzingel never really fit in Carolina and Rod just never really trusted him much. I think Carolina views Paquette as a guy they can use on a 4th line.
Galchenyuk comes in as a reclamation project. If not, they waive him and get the cap space. Bit of a cap clearing move here for Carolina.

He’s a solid NHL physical 4th liner. Can pk and play center and wing. Strong fore checker. Every team needs role players like him.

You mean why Carolina didn't take Stepan instead of Gally? Is this a serious question?
Weird trade right ? Why not sign Galch as free agent if CAR wanted him ? And Paquette would have been cheaper ?

Unless we sign another forward, he is one of two that meet the minimum exposure requirements that we would be okay losing.
fast has a good role with us anyways
