Obviously not.

Forgot to add the 2024 1st

Probably not... Andrei for all his faults as a player is very very good and isn't gonna send us into a further cap hell like Johnny's contract would

No. That's the simple way to answer this

That package probably gets you out of the Gaudreau contract without retention, but it certainly doesn’t get you out AND get Svech. 5 years remaining at just shy of 10mil, with full trade protection, and he is only playing like a 60 point player is not a good look. Not to mention the fact he is on the wrong side of 30.

No. The Canes are competing for a cup. Svechnikov is a part of the core. That core is still very young. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. He is a hell of a scorer.

I can assure you the jackets don’t see Johnny as a negative valued asset

Remember when everyone said JT Miller's career was over, a negative asset, can't trade that awful contract even with 50% and a first last year? Fans are too caught up in the "what have you done for me lately" mindset. Not saying Johnny is going to get traded but thankfully most GM's look at the full picture, not just look at the score sheet and go "oh only 60 points he sucks". When you actually look into it all his points came from primary assists with hardly no goals nor secondary assists. It doesn't take a genius to realize he's getting smothered when he's out on the ice because the other teams treats him as the only true threat. Its similar to early in Lebron's career he had no assistance in Cleveland and basically the entire strategy was triple guard Lebron and take him out of the game. That's why a healthy Laine, or another viable winger, would make him look like peak JG again as its quite impressive he was able to be a ppg player since the start of the year even when basically playing the equivalent of hard mode this year.

Well said and completely agree. Most on here do just look at current stats, and what the player is doing now instead of looking at the whole picture. JT is a great example. So much negativity towards the guy last year and now look at what he’s done. Guy has always been a workhorse out on the ice. A do it all type player. Anyway, great response.
