For the most part I don’t mind this. However, the Ottawa and Toronto trades stick out as trades that don’t happen. For the Ottawa trade, Martinook just signed a 3 year extension with the Canes, and he wears a letter for a reason. He is a very big part of the team, and while Paul may be better, he doesn’t replace what we would lose in Martinook. Then moving on to the Toronto trade, Dermott is ok, but LaFontaine is going to cost a lot more than that, considering the Leafs goalie situation right now and in the future, but LaFontaine is likely either the backup next year or is the first call up in goal. You could just take out the Toronto trade and take Smith out of the Philly trade and Smith would be our 7D, with Chatfield being the first call up.
The only other thing I kind of have a problem with would be the Chicago trade. I highly doubt that Carolina is going to give up Heimosalmi, and while the Canes are more willing to move prospects than picks right now, at the very least for rentals, Heimosalmi is a prospect that the Canes will likely hang on to, as he could be a future Pesce replacement.
Counteroffer for Hagel: Gunler, choice of Suzuki/Bokk, another prospect at B-/C+ range, and conditional 2023 2nd round pick (Conditions: If Carolina advances to the final in 2022 OR Win the Stanley Cup in 2022 or 2023 OR Hagel scores 50+ points with the Canes in 2022, regular season and playoffs combined, the pick upgrades to 2023 1st round pick.) How would Hawks feel about that offer.
