Canes say no all around

The team got worse, bravo

Not trading sillinger away at this time unless it’s for a long term upgrade at center.
Not for a struggling 3c, a fringe starter and a second.
Dumping Elvis is nice but I would rather buy him out than move away from sillinger to do so.

I would do kk for Elvis straight up or Elvis and a second for kk and the goalie.

Why would Carolina trade away their #2C of the future in Kotkaniemi after they were able to steal him from Montreal just a few years ago? Isn't he going to be a perennial 70 point player behind Sebastian Aho? They should at least be able to get Adam Fantilli or Leo Carlsson for him in a trade.

Seconding this exactly.

If the goal is just to land Elvis and shed some cap, I'd much rather do Freddy for Elvis at ~$1.5M retained straight up, with Columbus throwing in a pick. Any Elvis trade has to be more attractive than a buyout, which is what we're looking at otherwise.

Red Wings accept, no take backs.
