Proposal: Pens/Canes/Stars Blockbuster

[Toby Flenderson]

Got this idea from a mix a few previous threads, and I think all teams benefit.

Pens get: Skinner, Faulk, and Faksa

Stars get: Kessel and Brassard

Canes get: Nichuskin, 2019 1st (Dallas), 2019 1st (Pitt)


Pens get a young, defensively responsible center. Skinner to replace Kessel, and Faulk to really bolster our D. This also allows Sprong to jump in the lineup.

Stars get a stud in Kessel and a top 6 center. They could theoretically ice a Benn-Seguin-Kessel line which would be something.

Canes get 2 1st’s and a young scorer in Nichuskin to replace Skinner. Not sure what Faulks value would be but I think their RHD side is set and this is a pretty good haul.


A lot of players moving so a trade like this is unlikely to happen but how’s the value.

[Spazkat]

Canes get screwed. 2 low 1sts and a guy with a career high 34 points for Faulk and Skinner

 

[LT]

Brassard and Faksa are decently even, maybe slightly leaned toward Faksa.

So that means Nuke + 1st becomes Kessel?

Sign me up as a Dallas fan.

Canes lose this deal pretty badly IMO. Pittsburgh comes out pretty well.

More needs to be going to Carolina.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Canes get bent over

 

[GoldiFox]

Canes have a top-5 prospect pool in quality and depth. They don’t need additional late 1sts at the cost of two decent roster players. Nichushkin doesn’t add much incentive and I doubt he’d be happy about an immediate move given his history.

 

[Maylo]

Poor Canes, you're small market take a pride to be a donor for really important teams! right?

 

[wej20]

I don't understand why Pens try and acquire Faulk when they have Letang and Schultz.

 

[howkie]

Canes gives up 2 quality assets and get nothing.

If Skinner and Faulk go, Canes should expect a top quality center is coming back, Pittsburg got any?

 

[jay caufield forhead]

ya pens dont need faulk unless letang going out and canes are not going to take just picks. they are done with the continuous rebuild

 

[orby]

Cap doesn't work for the Penguins. Also, Carolina losing Faulk and Skinner for just 2 firsts and Nuke is not ideal for them.

 

[Chan790]

How exactly does this help the Canes win now?

That's the goal...put a playoff team on the ice this season and position ourselves to knock Pittsburgh and Washington off the top of our division within the next couple years on our way to Cup contenders.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Canes get the royal shaft, No way Carolina does this.

 

[SDBondra]

Given Nichushkin's situation I wouldn't assume he would accept a trade no matter what's in his contract. I also agree with a previous poster - I don't see why Pittsburgh would go for Faulk with Letang, Schultz and now Oleksiak all under contract.

 

[PensandCaps]

no.

 

[Unsustainable]

Canes Needs:

Top 2 C and Goalie.

Canes Needs:

This has become my go to response in these proposals.

 

[Castle8130]

Stars win this trade by a landslide.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

More from Dallas going to Carolina and I’d be with it

I'm not sure about giving up Kessel, but Skinner and Faulk would be good assets to have. Faulk may beat out Ruhwedel, but maybe adjusting this trade would help:

Pens get: Justin Williams, Trevor Van Riemsdyk, & Hanzal

Stars get: Hagelin & Brassard

Canes get: Nichushkin, 2019 1st (Dallas), 2019 1st (Pitt), & Faksa

I'm not really good at creating trade proposals, but this may or may not be better or worse.

This is dreadful for Dallas now. The only piece I have interest in from the Penguins is Kessel. Brassard is nice but not entirely necessary and not for that price. This also makes Tyler Pitlick our 2nd best RW while not improving us at left wing at all. Hurts more than helps. Also makes us older in the process

Indeed.

The Penguins probably wouldn't give up Hornqvist, but would that be slightly better?

 

[Kcb12345]

Instead of Brassard or instead of Hagelin? But I agree, I can't see them giving up Hornqvist.

Hagelin

Indeed.

My trade proposal > < OP's trade proposal?

Canes Needs:

Top 2 C and Goalie.

Correction: #1 center. We already have a pretty good #2 in Staal and both Necas and Rask could also be #2 caliber types this season
