Carolina is not going to move a 1st for someone that would be their 3rd pairing D man... they need forwards with term. The blueline is the best in the NHL as it is.

He's a big upgrade over de haan

Major disagree. de Haan has been absolutely fantastic. If it wasn't for Skjei having the best year of his career, I'd have made a case to have him in the top 4. de Haan has not put a foot wrong.

And this still doesn't address the fact that the Canes need forwards, not defensemen

Oilers accept

Oilers would take that for sure, although i heard SJ would only retain 20% of EK still, good deal, i like

The thing is that the hawks should be willing to retain any amount of salary. If edm is looking for 50% retained and the Sharks only want 18-20%, then the hawks should do at least 30%. the hawks would basically be buying a first round pick, which they should jump at.

No thank you

Friedman says the price was less than a first. Major overpay
