Value of: Trocheck to Minnesota

[Kshahdoo]

Minnesota needs better centers, Carolina needs to resign Svechnikov, Hamilton, Foegele, Geekie and Bean after this season. First two will cost a lot, so the team needs all the cap it's able to free.

Carolina has 4 good centers in Aho, Necas, Stall and Trocheck, and the latter looks as good as gone after the next season anyway.

Isn’t Necas playing wing?

Well, as far as I remember, he was drafted as a center, was considered a center and he plays wing probably because the team has too many good centers.

There's a time to transition Necas over, but it's not in the middle of a season in which the Canes are trying to win it all. Martinook is not going to be the 3C on the team voluntarily either.

geekie will cost next to nothing to re-sign, foegele sucks and it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't given a qualifying offer, and bean has little leverage with no arbitration rights and one (1) good season as a third pairing defenseman. trocheck's contract is a non-issue. if he walks after next season then that's okay. there's no point in trading a PPG center while the team is in contention just because his contract is expiring after next year.

I think the time to trade for Trochek was last year when we all thought he sucked. Right now he makes them a two (or three?) line team, which they are going to need to beat TBL.

Do McGinn and Martinook suck as well? They are both UFAs after the season.

Call back later after the season.

This was a missed opportunity for Guerin at the TDL last year. Now, doesn’t make sense for Carolina. He’s on a great deal and I believe a UFA after next season.

Trocheck probably won’t be available for trade until the offseason as he will be needed for the Hurricanes playoff run.

If Minnesota needs an in season trade for a center then maybe they could try contacting non-playoff teams that are looking to sell any centers that may be of use to the Minnesota Wild.

 

[CraigsList]

I think the Canes intend on keeping him until his contract expires, at minimum. It’s a steal of a contract.

yes all three of them are terrible and can easily be replaced by league minimum players. see thread: Proposal: - CAR-TOR BLOCKBUSTER

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

To keep it simple. No, we are not trading Trochek, but if you’re gonna throw it out there then at least make an offer.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

They certainly aren't worth keeping at the cost of losing either Hamilton or Trochek. Geekie and Lorentz are already providing what Martinook provides and there are other guys in the system as well. Overpaying for guys like McGinn and Martinook are what causes problems for teams, not keeping a guy like Trocheck.

Was going to make yet another Victor Rask reference, but it stops being funny after the 48th time.
