For all those saying Carolina would never be interested in Scheifele, I am not sure about that. Yes, Scheifele is weak defensively, but he’s coming off a 42 goal season and before that he was averaging better than a point per game for a number of seasons.
Carolina’s forwards are relentless puck possession stalwarts and all above average defensively, but as a group they are lacking goal scoring and offensive skill.
This is why a player like Scheifele makes perfect sense.
Offensively gifted to fill a Carolina need? Check.
On the last year of a contract and motivated to have his best season ever in a contract year? Check.
Plus, no matter the forwards he plays with for the Hurricanes, their strengths will compensate for the weakest part of his game AND he’s going to be the best possible version of himself regardless since he’s playing for one last big contract.
Very few (if any) hockey players are “perfect”. Imo, Carolina needs to recognize where they’re at in their competitive window, identify where they need to improve and be bold like Vegas was assuming they want to get over the hump from really good regular season team to Stanley Cup champions.
