If you are trying to be funny, the joke wasn’t funny. Unless Buffalo is starting with one of Quinn/Peterka and a first, there is no way the Canes are going to consider shopping Pesce, especially if the return is as lousy as the one you are trying to sell.

It probably wouldn't suit Canes. And where is Savoie? I doubt that he will play in WHL next season, and he will not be able to play in the AHL.

Yea that starts with one of your top prospects++ to even get the canes slightly interested, even then they would probably decline.

Seems like a hilarious ask for a 2nd pairing defensemen

I mean, that's preposterous

I don't think that's his actual value if the canes were selling. I was saying in the situation the canes are in, there's no point in just selling such an important player to team, and buffalo would need to overpay to even get the canes attention

See, that's reasonable. It's probably also reasonable to point out that he's a ufa at seasons end. Canes probably have a look at a presidents trophy and more, not the time to trade for futures.

Canes have an absurd amount of cap space next year, and while they have to replace some bigger names (both goalies leaving, Staal & Pacioretty expiring, and so on), I don't think they *need* to move on from Brett Pesce's $4.025M. I think you either gotta upgrade Jokiharju to a prospect. You've got plenty to choose from: even if you say Quinn & JJP are off the table, you can still throw Rosen, or Ostlund, or Kulich, or name a guy in and have a strong prospect to offer.
