Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Canes: Receive the 1C they desperately need on their team as well as a fourth line center who brings a physical presence. They also take on Lucic's horrendous contract.

EDM: loses their 2C, however they receive a top pairing RHD in Faulk. Last year there were concerns with Faulk's defensive play, however when Sekera was in Carolina he was Faulk's partner and they had very good chemistry. I don't think there's any debate that if Skinner plays with McDavid he will score 35+ goals perennially, as he scored 37 goals with Derek Ryan a couple seasons ago. Victor Rask is a solid 3rd line center who can score 30-40 points if not more on a consistent basis. In addition EDM receives Ronald McKeown who is a young, shutdown third pairing defenseman. The only reason he is being traded is because the canes have insane RHD depth, and McKeown would just be spending time in Charlotte. In addition, both sides of the trade have equal value contract wise.
