Absolutely no need to trade Heinen right now. His rookie season will not be his best season

Carolina is willling to trade Faulk even while they are in a playoff spot. But they would get a better return. They need a top 6 center. Heinen is better suited as winger in the Nhl. They could get Nugent-Hopkins for Faulk easily enough. Columbus isn’t moving Anderson who they like for Carlo. They are set in their top 2 RD for awhile with Jones and Savard. While the offer is fair it does nort serve a need for CBJ. Neither of these moves helps the other teams involved.

Heinen for Faulk????

I’ve seen some “homer” trades on here,
and this is among the worst

Carolina will get way more

CAR is not giving away 1 of their captains

I don't think you made this team better...in fact you traded two young promising players for a guy whose a year away from being a UFA and a guy whose already held out once because of contract terms. Doesn't seem like a smart move

Only McGinn who isn't an essential piece is 1 year away from UFA.... this is a 2018-2019 thread and the deals happen in the 2018 offseason. That would mean everyone has 2 full seasons until they can walk, but that very fact is almost irrelevant given Boston's strong core and Sweeney's track record of resigning's. Who wouldn't want to re-sign at fair money?

I don't mind if you don't like moving Carlo and Heinen, but don't make it sound like it was a 2 for 2 where we got back "a guy whose a year away from being a ufa and a guy who's already held out once because of contract terms." Those aren't even factual terms at all given that Josh Anderson held out and got less than 2M per so the very fact he held out has no credibility the way you are implying it and he's also an RFA at his current contracts conclusion... lol and Faulk is 2 full seasons from having the ability to walk. You chose to make this a 2 for 2 type trade and somehow managed to just oversee the difference between Nutivaara and Spooner in value. Nutivaara is a better asset than Ryan Murray and would probably cost a 1st rounder from CBJ, while many Bruins fans have gone on record saying they'd take a playoff 2nd for Spooner before he came back from injury. Funny how you decided to omit that part of the factual evidence and kinda just twisted information into something that suited your means.
