Speculation: The Official Horrible Trade Proposals Thread: Part 2, Have a Drink

[Negan4Coach]

You joke but I saw someone on the trade board say that Hanifin being happier in a hockey market will make him play better and be the reason they win the trade.

Lulz. Yeah, I'm sure an American kid is just delighted at the opportunity to live in the middle of frozen bumf***istan, Canada. He'll bolt for Boston as soon as UFA.

Varly / Lehner

 

[CandyCanes]

Varlamov scares me. He's a pretty good goalie, but his injury history isn't very good. He finished out last season on the IR with some kind of knee injury. Kind of important to have a good knee when playing goalie. If he didn't have that injury though he'd probably be my top goalie target of whom is available.

And it would be nice to still be able to cheer for Skinner as Colorado is kind of my second team.

 

[DougieSmash]

Lehner is almost as pathetic as Darling. I wouldn't touch this.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Should we tell them, guys? Or should we just let them find out on their own?

I mean, Lindholm does have a good shot, he just sucks at using it.

 

[emptyNedder]

Before creating a firestorm in the main forum, I wanted to get other Canes' fans take on what someone posted on Canes and Coffee. I really don't like it, but with Lindholm being moved, the Canes need another center possibility in case one of Aho and Necas aren't ready.

Pesce for William Nylander.

If Toronto is serious about going for Tavares, then Nylander will be available (a few Leafs' fans admitted as much elsewhere on HF). While most Canes' fans want to move Faulk, I am pretty sure he doesn't return Nylander. Pesce at $4m for six years works given everything Toronto is hoping to accomplish.

AS I said, I don't like it, so talk me out of it.

 

[dogbazinho]

I'd do it all day every day.

 

[Penaltykiller17]

I am firmly against trading Pesce. We finally have the blueline that we’ve been hyped up to have, IMO. With Pesce out and presumably Faulk still here, the back end doesn’t look as good, and kinda negates whatever there is to gain with Nylander. And if Toronto does sign JT, I’m not interested in doing them a favor by balancing out their roster.

Agreed. Slavin-Hamilton has more offensive punch, but that leaves (Fluery or UFA)-Faulk as the second pairing. Is that a step forward from Hanifin-Faulk last year?

Get a forward with Faulk and see where things go on offense.

 

[AD Skinner]

I don't want to get rid of Pesce at all. Slavin doesn't NEED him but he makes Slavin better. Like a little bit of lime with a gin and tonic- just fine without it but with it you've got something special

 

[Svechhammer]

Damn, who knew that trading for Hamilton would suddenly make every one of our defensive players less valuable trade assets. Should have never pulled that trigger...

I actually don't mind this...but. Once again, I really don't think Skinner would wave to go to Colorado. If he actually did give a 5 team list, think the usual suspects...Pitt, NYR, Chicago, LAK, SJ for example.

I’d say replace NYR with Toronto and you’d have your likely five.

I’d bet one of Skinner or Faulk goes to Toronto. Return being their 1st plus Kap. I’d also like to get Sparks in the deal as well. The other likely ends up in Chicago.

That would be the kind of return I'd want from Toronto. I'm not that high on Sparks, I think his upside is NHL backup, but I'm probably a bit higher on Kap then most.

If this was our complete off season moves id be pretty happy.

 

[Stickpucker]

Interesting week coming up for Carolina, was commenting on different thread and got thinking again, with Gm's comments from last night.

Skinner for futures, Faulk for top6F, money on a goalie, or just Faulk for futures, money on a goalie?

Skinner/trade- Aho- Svec
Ferland- Staal- TT
Rask- Necas- Williams

Slavin- Pesce
Fleury- Hamilton

I assume TT will be stapled to Aho hip....but he is a lot better on RW than LW. I would like to see Svech get some time with Aho but think Necas skill set compliments him well.

What makes you think Nylander is more prepared to play C than Aho?

 

[Stickpucker]

I don't see Colorado wanting to move Varly. He will be a Grubauer safety net.

 

[SlavinAway]

Personally I don’t get where all of the doubt around Aho at C is coming from...

He doesn’t have a lot of NHL experience there but in his small sample size he excelled as did an AHL winger who should’ve been called up months earlier.

He then followed it up with a stellar showing at the Worlds. At this point I’m considering Aho an NHL center until he shows otherwise.

 

[GoldiFox]

What makes you think Nylander is more prepared to play C than Aho?

Yeah, if Toronto lands Tavares the Waddell should be after Nazem Kadri rather than Nylander. He fits what the Canes are looking for in a player better and has much more experience at C.

 

[BB88]

I assume TT will be stapled to Aho hip....but he is a lot better on RW than LW. I would like to see Svech get some time with Aho but think Necas skill set compliments him well.

I had him 1st there and believe he'll start the season with Aho, but with more longterm look I'd be maxing Ahos& Svec's potential. They should make a great duo.

Ahos' elite IQ/vision feeding the puck to Svec who can finish the plays at an elite level.
