Not enough for Cirelli. Rangers accept CAR and BUF deals.

Carolina has to move a goalie but I think they do that

tha rangers won't trade georgiev to the canes for the same reason the caps didn't trade grubauer to the canes

only trade Rangers accept is for Cirelli. Other 2 get turned down.

No way Carolina accepts that. Fleury has been playing like a top 4 D man. This isn't enough. Carolina needs to move D men but they can do it for futures. Give up something like Lias and a 2nd. That may get Carolina to consider it.

They are in cap hell they can't afford to take salary back on a trade (Tampa). So they have no leverage for the asking price and other GM's know that. Think it happens on Draft day to be honest. They don't have a first round pick and they need to get entry level contracts (Tampa).

Georgiev> Lias and a 2nd.


But if that's what you guys are preferring sure. Also, Wouldn't trading Jake Bean make more sense?

They'll get more in an offer sheet.

Moving Skjei/Gardiner to WPG makes the most sense

That's if a team would offer a big contract to a player who really hasn't produced big numbers but is trending up. No team is going to offer him 6 mil a year especially with the flat cap for the next 2 years min. You are going to see salaries go down and shorter contracts especially RFA's. Like if you see i have ADA at 4mill per but thats for 2 years. It's good for both sides at the end of that contract he will still be a RFA. and that time we can see if Nils is ready for the NHL. and or if Fox is good D man. At the point hopefully ADA gains some trade value and we can get high level prospects and or draft picks. Thats how you constantly load up the farm system. Similar to what Tampa has been doing, the only issue you run into(not bad issue) is if you hit on a late round pick (Kuch) He will eat away at your cap.

Gardniner has NMC and Carolina didnt just give up a first to trade Skeji to WPG. They need a Right d-man, but have limited cap space.

Gardiner has a M-NTC. Not a no move caluse, it's why he can be exposed to Seattle. Carolina gave up a 1st for Skjei because Pesce, Hamilton and Vatanen were hurt. They can move him because they no longer need him. We do not need right-handed D men, we just stole Joey Keane from NYR. We just need to clear the space.

I don't see WPG wanting either. With Morrissey/Heinola/Niku They will prioritize fixing their RHD and C issues.

You think Keane is ready for the NHL ? You gotta remember WPG needs to be able to fit Skjei under the cap. They have to sign Laine in the end of the 21 season. That won't be cheap.
