How big is the bomb the flames planted under Treliving's house to get him to agree to taking that huberdeau contract?

We need a center back if we're dealing KK

Yeah none of this ever happens lmao

You had me at Huberdeau. The funny thing is, the guy has been playing quite well lately. 9P in the last 8, and he's making great passes more often than not.

Value isn't here for KK and to dump Samsonov, pick one. If you want KK, we need a top 6 C back.

Honestly, my approach here is the Canes desperation to find a goalie. I figured with their Defense actually being decently good, Sammy might actually play better when there's less high scoring chances to face him. It's a one year deal so they're not tied down with him, and they get Bert and his style to help in the playoffs. Abruzzee is a decent Centre prospect. Will he oan out to be another KK, perhaps not but the combination of all the pieces I thought would warrant a conversation and a basis to a potential deal.

Since coming back up, Raanta is 3-1-1 with a .910 sv%. Over his last 8, Kochetkov is .918 sv%, and Andersen was medically cleared before Christmas. You would have to pay the Canes to take on that contract.

I like Abruzzesse, but he's behind guys like Vasili Ponomarev, Ryan Suzuki, and even Bradley Nadeau at C. That's without considering how hot Jack Drury has been recently. He'd never get the shot in Carolina.

Bertuzzi also wouldn't interest Carolina. He's not better than Necas, Jarvis, Svechnikov, Teravainen, or Bunting. He's not going to replace Martinook or Jarvis, and Noesen is just WAY better in terms of value.

I get the idea, but there is nothing here that interests Carolina. If you want Kotkaniemi, a young, promising 2C with long term team control on a steal of a deal, you're looking at 1st+++. There's nothing here that comes close to that for the Canes.

Huberdeau for Tavares straight up sure... The only problem is both players would have to waive, Huberdeau might but Tavares won't. The rest of that offer might get Markstrom but it's not getting Weegar who isn't for sale.
