Carolina fans

Not a good trade. Haula is not all that and a pure rental which the Hawks should not be in the market for. Fluery is a RFA and he's okay. Saad is better then either player easily. Gus for Fluery is decent I guess but Saad for a 1st and rental makes no sense.

Hell of an overpay for Carolina which is a lateral move

Haula would extend to a cheap deal

I wouldn't do this if I were CAR. Not that the trade value isn't there. I think it is. It's just that Fleury is getting more ice time now that Dougie is out. He's playing well as a cheap RFA. Don't trade him away. He can be a solid piece for a long time with CAR. Also, it's not like Dougie's out for the year. Bones heal faster than ligaments. He'll be back before the playoffs and CAR will have allowed their younger Dmen more ATOI to develop. Heck give Bean some NHL ice time.

I respect your opinion. I just think this would mainly benefit Chicago just because this leaves room for Kubalik and Lehner to extend to big money
