with mini mockdraft

Canes would probably consider that if they hadn’t made the move for Orlov.

oohh i forgot about that.

I’d much rather keep Matheson at less than 5 then go out and sign Pesce for 7.

The Canes trade is good for both teams. But I'd sign another experienced D (to a shorter deal) instead of Pesce, or play Kovacevic instead.

If matheson was playing RD i would agree. But since he's a LD he doesn't allow younger player to get their chance. i would much prefer players like Guhle, Harris, Huston, Xhekaj playing than having most of them stacked in laval.
+ pesce can be a big brother that covers for those younger player's mistakes.
