Can't imagine the canes make that deal.

If im the canes im not making that trade with either of those players in the deal alone

Lets be honest, if they were willing to gamble Kane would be a well... Cane

I'd do Kakko for Necas but that's about it.

No. Not at that price. Drop Jarvis and Necas and lets talk prospects, MAYBE, but if that's the price, hard no. You do not give up the 2 best players in a trade for a "Maybe" as a Stanley Cup favorite.

I like the premise for the trade, but I don’t like the pieces the Canes would be giving up. I do think that Laf would flourish in the Canes system, but he would also have a chance to play top 6 minutes on his natural LW immediately. NYR are weak at RW, Canes are weak at LW. Jarvis would be a no go. Necas, I would rather not trade, but if the Canes are sure that Laf would be a definite upgrade over Necas, I would still hate it, but I can understand why. Laf won’t have a chance in the Rangers top 6 at LW until something happens with either Kreider or Panarin, and those are contracts you don’t want in the bottom 6. But right now, Canes say no deal to that. Too much risk now, now enough reward now. In the future, whose to say that this won’t be a good trade, but right now, Canes would be giving up the better pieces for a maybe. Just not worth it right now, when we are gunning for a cup.

Canes wouldn’t.

Not at the trade deadline. That's for damn sure. Offseason? That's a harder question, but I would still lean no for Carolina. Necas and Jarvis are both 8-year lock-in core piece candidates for them.

I doubt they would too. I feel Kakko and Lafreniere have potential but NYR might be holding them back.
