Would have to be a huge overpayment to make Carolina trade him.

We’re in a wildcard spot and haven’t made the playoffs since 2009. He’s worth more to us.

 

[GoldiFox]

Cost would be very high. Teams calling are competing against the Canes own self interest.

Bunch of jerks.

So McPhee just doesn't give a shit that half his blue line are either feasibly replaceable or in dire need of replacement. I get that scoring is in a slump but that seems to be a mental team wide thing and perhaps some deficiency out of Gallant.

 

[CupInSIX]

Eeesh no interest in overpaying or re-signing Ferland. McPhee what is you doing

 

[MinJaBen]

Please pull an Erat McPhee. Pleeaaaseeee!

Consider the market and what's left on it.

Carolina would need to get enough for Ferland to turn around and replace Ferland on the open market. So a 1st or top tier prospect the Canes could flip to another team for one of the top-tier rentals left.

If the rental market dries up except for Ferland before 3PM, I think that makes it more likely the Canes hold onto him.

The obvious deal is still out there...

Ferland and Pesce for Nylander and Ozhiganov.

canes get the guy with a ton of long term upside. Leafs fill their 2 biggest needs, and create cap space to retain kap and johnsson.

 

[Magic Man]

Winnipeg just landed Kevin Hayes, I wonder if that eliminates them from contention on Ferland.

 

[treple13]

Honestly I can't see why Calgary would pay the price needed. Ferland with the Flames didn't show he's all that much better than our current middle six wingers when not on the top line.

 

[viper0220]

The Canes are fighting for a playoff spot, why would they trade Ferland.

 

[SnipeNCelly]

I hope Calgary doesn't do it

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I thought they said they woudn't trade him.

Zero chance Dundon is paying a $8.3 million bonus to Nylander on July 1. That bonus is a poison pill.

 

[MinJaBen]

I'm not advocating a move like this, but I could see the Canes trying a buy low situation and like with Nino and maybe do a Ferland plus Darling for Neal plus 1st. We'd be dumping a slightly smaller AAV for much shorter term and banking on Neal rebounding on his contract in a top 6 role. I wonder if the Flames would do that?

 

[justafan22]

Simmonds will get moved since he's a lower price IMO.

 

[Janks]

Honestly I can't see why Calgary would pay the price needed. Ferland with the Flames didn't show he's all that much better than our current middle six wingers when not on the top line.

The only thing I see is that he's well liked in the room already, and we know he fits with the top line (at worst - not saying he should slid Lindy or Tkachuk down).

 

[mikeyfan]

Bunch of jerks.

And proud of it

 

[OVO16]

Winnipeg is probably out now right?

 

[Dog]

Doubt canes move him.

What kind of a message would it send to that locker room to trade one of your top 6 players for picks when you are a point out of the playoffs and on a win streak? I don't see it.

 

[OVO16]

Carolina only moves Ferland, only if they can get a top 6 forward in a separate deal first.

Like Johansson to Canes for a 2nd rd pick.

But then they get that 2nd rd pick back (+ more) for Ferland?

 

[MinJaBen]

We don't have to worry about this scenario....we are IN the playoffs at this point.

 

[The Burdened]

Carolina should be adding contributors, not subtracting them

 

[CupInSIX]

Canes, may we interest you in a surging Pirri? 1st line production. Low cost to re-sign. So much skill. So, so much skill.
