Really no reason whatsoever for the Blues to move the 3rd this year and 2nd next year for Jokiharju to play 3RD.

I doubt the preds do that, they definitely would want more than that IMO.

The asking price I read was multiple firsts AND a blue chip prospect

You gave an okay prospect, a 1st, and a struggling goalie.

Canes pass. Olofsson doesn't do anything

I think that's a fair Saros proposal.

incorrect

Probably the right value for DeMelo, but WPG would likely rather hang on to him, maybe even re-sign him if they can. They really don't have anyone in the pipeline to fill his role and he pairs really well with Morrissey.

That’s a high 1st, arguably our 3rd prospect overall and an ok goalie prospect to fill space while you wait on Askarov.


He scores goals, something I’ve heard about Carolina needing incessantly when they are talked about in the media.



For starters it’s a 4th and a 2nd next year. Otherwise ok.



That is approximately 2 1sts and a prospect Not exactly being cheap.

This is a super lazy take. Florida scored 4 more goals than the Canes, and the Canes didn't have Svechnikov due to his ACL freak injury. They need star talent. Olofsson isn't even assured of a lineup spot in Carolina. They need someone that can score in the postseason, not someone that has never been to the postseason.

I reiterate, Olofsson does nothing. You want to talk about moving Alex Tuch though, that's when we can start talking

Lol about Tuch, I’d be asking for Slavin and Aho based on his sheer importance to the team.

Had nothing to do with the playoffs, I heard it on NHL radio back in February and on an ESPN+ game that they lacked a 1-timer.

Carolina has literally nothing to offer that would make me even consider trading Alex Tuch. He’s probably the next captain. But I’m assuming you knew that.

You weren't aware? The entire Canes roster is made of gold. Unless it's McDavid, the Canes aren't interested.

Yes, you'd want a top 5 defenseman in the league and a player at a more important position with better stats than Tuch for Tuch... get lose lmao

Obviously, but Carolina have as much interest in Olofsson as Buffalo do in moving Tuch is my point here
