Is benning a lot better than I think he Is? Seems like a lot to give up for a bust that we couldn't even send to the ahl.

Yes, Jets match.
Man I don’t see the infatuation with Puljujarvi.
Canes won’t trade Faulk.

He's essentially a cap dump. Faulk is a rental, and I'm not a huge fan of Gauthier.

$9M for a guy who only scored 50 points (only 27 at ES) last year is laughable?

That's ****ing brutal for the Hurricanes...Faulk >>>>>> Benning and Goat has just as much chance of becoming an NHL regular as Pool at this point.
Also I think that offer sheet is matched easily
Pulj was seen as a higher prospect most of his draft year till Laine took over in the 2nd half
Im just saying potential is still there
I think that’s the appeal.
He has potential and most think that with a change of scenery he’d break out and start living up to it.
I think most consider him a worthwhile risk if you could get him at a low cost.

Faulk has 1 year left until UFA
IMO, Puljujarvi >> Gauthier and Benning is a bit underrated.
But ultimately moving Faulk would be a cap play to make room for Laine. Without Faulk the Hurricanes D is still very solid. Adding Laine, and to a lesser extent Puljujarvi, could be a huge step forward for the Canes offense. Laine brings that extra finishing touch and big shot that they've needed.

Not an ideal AAV, but laughable if you think that Jets won't match.
21 yo with 36-44 and 30 goal seasons don't come easily.
Please get Laine to sign that offer sheet so we can match and move on with our summer lol

Okay then they match, and nothing of value is lost. I have to think with the players they still have to sign, they'd hesitate to match, especially considering the leverage that gives to Connor, who had 4 more goals and 16 more points.
Since Connor entered the league he's been the more productive player.
Connor 158gp 65g 123p (47 ESG 84 ESP)
Laine 164gp 74g, 120p (39 ESG 66 ESP)

Agreed. Rather keep Faulk. Most I’d offer for Puljujärvi is McKeown. Also waiver eligible, still largely blocked.
Don’t see Carolina making an offer sheet. Dundon stated during that teleconference that offer sheets don’t tend to work and don’t have great value.

Deal.
Then you guys need to offer sheet Svechnikov in 2 years to for reasonable terms. Everyone happy.
I agree with you to a certain extent on Benning . He is a good bottom pairing D and his stats also matches that . If you move him off the bottom pairing he is in way over his head . The Canes got better D so maybe he could tread water on the 2nd pairing but I wouldn’t count on it .
Puljujarvi is worst now then when he was drafted . He got all the skill in the world but he doesn’t have the brain to process the NHL game fast enough to make smart plays . His confidence is also all but gone . Not sure what Edmonton was thinking by bring him over when he could not speak the language. He should have been left overseas . Edmonton should of hired a tutor for him and left him there for 2 years . This should've been his first year over here and he should have been in the AHL to get use to the NA game. I don’t think he can be save with his brain, Edmonton ruining his confidence and his agent pumping his tires . Like if he can't make Edmonton with zero wingers what other team is he making ? Best shot now at rebuilding a career is the FEL or the KHL .

Jesus christ that is brutal for the Canes. Why can't this board put in their heads that puljujarvi is a bust? He's not making the nhl, these proposals are insane. 22 minutes a night defenceman traded for a bust and a cap dump? The only shot puls has for a hockey career is the khl, he's done.

Fair enough. Think I'd rather just keep Faulk though, seems risky to open a hole in the top 4 to find out if Jesse has the goods.

SO DOES BENNING...that is a MASSIVE downgrade on D to simply hope Pulj can find his game...adding Goat (who's been showing solid development) is just laughable. We already traded CDH, unlikely we trade any more of our top 4 D unless we're trading/signing another. It's a terrible proposal. EDM needs to accept that Pulj has minimal value, either keep and develop him, let him go overseas a few years to find his game, or expect a minimal return or equally struggling player. McGinn is probably the best we'd offer
