Karlsson probably not the ideal add when there are significant contracts to be sorted soon for Carolina.

SJ does this I think, those Dmen are easily flippable to contenders.

For CAR tho each RHD needs a solid DD babysitter and Slavin can't do it all.

Chatfield plays a lot like Slavin, obviously not as good. He played with Burns while Slavin was out. Orlov can help as well - don’t think it’s as much of a concern as people would think.

Well, I traded quite a few of them. If the cap goes up 3m, and If Aho get 9.5m (which has been reported), Jarvis signs a bridge, and Necas gets 7.5 - 8.0…there is still plenty of space.

Still need to sign Jarvis and replace Scheifele or extend him. I'm just not sure losing both Pesce and Skjei + the pick is worth Karlsson unless there is more retention. If you're talking Karlsson at 6M, now that's spicy.

that is a deal that SJ would agree to. Good job

yeah, the retention was the first thing I thought of. If you were giving all that there has to be max retention.

Scheifele is a no

That’s too big of a return on EK for me. I’d move one of the dmen and rest are figures plus Drury. If we’re giving up that much I’d expect him to come in closer to 7.5 too.

Also I don’t really care to go after Scheif. Wish we would’ve signed Duchene but at this point maybe ERod is a good option to handle 3C.
