How exactly does this help the Canes? A 3rd goalie they don’t need, a 4th liner, an AHL player and a couple of picks doesn’t do anything for the Canes. Despite his problems, KK is still young enough that he can be Staal’s replacement.

Draft picks, cap space and a better goalie then who they currently have

Vejmelka has only had a better season than Raanta, which of the Canes 4 NHL level goalies this season, that would rank Vejmelka behind Kochetkov, Andersen, and Martin. Please tell me, in what way is Vejmelka better than either of Andersen or Kochetkov?

O’Brien is nothing more than a 4th line goon. Canes already have Lemiuex as their physical 4th liner. Jenik is an AHLer, which would not hurt to bring in assuming that the Canes are getting their AHL affiliation back in the offseason, but he doesn’t have any value at the NHL level. It’s just not worth it.

Besides, if the Canes truly needed cap space, and under the assumption that they don’t have confidence in KK, a buyout saves them a lot more cap space, rather than taking back about 600k less cap in this scenario.

dude.
you're asking the coyotes to give up their goalie, enforcer-style player, and a prospect for a cap dump?
No

I must be doing something right if fans of both teams hate it LoL
