Hech no...if you want Duchene then send us the 2nd overall+ next year's 1st

I like it...... The Canes are so stacked

Approve of the name.
No way JVR gets signed to 7.5 mill, that’s rediculous, other trades aren’t bad
I’m sure Rask gets more than a late 2nd though, maybe not a first, but 2nd, 3rd B prospect

When in doubt, stack the defence. Ottawa would be weak in the Center, but would be stacked elsewhere. I think they take it.

That’s a bit much don’t ya think?

He always overvalues his players so ignore him this is a decent trade plus duchene only has a year left its not bad at all

Yeah went a little overkill on JVR just to be safe. Rask for a late second is generous given his contract.

That would be a solid offseason for the Canes. I think Ottawa would be interested in Faulk, too.

I'm a canes fan and personally I'd have Svechnikov and Faulk over Duchene and Brady Tkachuk but that's just me

Its not a bad trade value-wise but now Ottawa has no #1 C and no #2 C I dont think Ottawa does this.

Yeah I’d want Svech but we need a 1C and big bodies and that’s what Duchene and Tkachuk are

I think JVR ideally signs for 6.5 mill on the open market. Rask isn’t getting substantially overpaid, maybe by a mill, he’s a fringe 2nd line Center. He’s still a young, I think he gets more than a mid 2nd but not a lot more, that’s just my opinion.

If Aho plays next season as a centre between Skinner and Tuevo, which it looks like he's gonna, I still want Svechnikov and Faulk. The only glaring hole is in net. Why add up front when your goaltenders can't stop a bus? If it's Faulk and the second for a startiing goaltender but Duchene has been a bust in Ottawa, he was bad in Colorado the past few seasons and I just think he's gonna be bad in Carolina. We need a goalie and we need goals. Svech brings a ceiling of a 50 goal scorer. Duchene brings problems and Tkachuk brings a rivalry with Calgary. I still take Svech and Faulk but I'm not an NHL GM. What do you think?

Unfortnately there aren’t a lot of goalie options. Hutton had a great year last year so I gave him a low risk contract. The canes as they are are way too small. We have enough scorers (Aho, Teuvo, Skinner, etc.) so I think we should pass on Svech and take a power forward to make the team more complete.

Zykovis a big body. So's svech and JvR if they sign him likes it's been roumered. Staal and Rask aren't short and Martinooks over 6 ft. There is height in this team. IMO They don't need Brady Tkachuk or Matthew Duchene . They just don't benefit in any way
