Youth for Calgary, vets for Carolina.

Carolina acquires Brind'Amour's dream 2nd line center for the duration of Carolina's Cup window in Nazem Kadri, along with offensive breakout veteran winger Blake Coleman, another genuine Brind'Amour type of player. Kadri rubs off on Necas and Svechnikov, and makes them driven, responsible players in all areas. And what a great line that would be.

In exchange for this, as well as unloading Jesperi Kotkaniemi's contract onto the Flames, they also send to Calgary breakout young right winger Seth Jarvis and a 2025 1st round pick. Losing Jarvis would be a tough pill to swallow, but based on how Kadri has played during 2023-24 and driven the line with Zary and Pospisil, he ought to be well worth it for at least a few years yet with even better wingers.

For the upcoming season, the Hurricanes ought to be able to fill out all of these TBD's with quality players, 5 to sign with $24m in cap space. Guentzel could re-up for around $7m per on a 5-6 year deal, leaving $17m to fill out the rest, maybe $5-6m per for a 2nd pair D (Skjei?) ($11 left), $4-5m for the other forward (Teravainen again?) ($6m left), and low-cost D-men, upwards of $2m each. EDIT: I forgot the RFAs Necas and Drury to sign. Might have to trade Kuznetsov or something, perhaps go super cheap on the D.

Car 2024-25:

Andersen - Kochetkov

Slavin - Burns
Skjei (UFA) - TBD
Orlov - TBD

Guentzel (UFA) - Aho - Teravainen? (UFA)
Svechnikov - Kadri - Necas (RFA)
Drury (RFA) - Kuznetsov - Coleman
Lemieux - Staal - Fast


The Flames get Seth Jarvis, a huge prize in my opinion. Winnipeg boy, might not mind playing in Canada... The Flames also take a chance on Kotkaniemi, not just ridding Carolina of his long-term contract, but hopefully turning him into a useful player again in a less pressured environment, one in which mistakes don't automatically earn you a demotion because you're chasing the Cup for real. Hope he does what he did in 2022-23 instead of this year.. Also the 2025 1st. The effect Kadri and the other veterans have had on Zary will rub off, and Zary will begin to drive things next season, following Kadri's example. Next captain after Backlund.

Cgy forwards 2024-25:

Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Kuzmenko
Zary - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis (RFA)
Mangiapane - Backlund - Pospisil
Pelletier (RFA) - Rooney - Duehr

OR, I think better:

Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Jarvis (RFA)
Zary - Kotkaniemi - Pospisil
Mangiapane - Backlund - Kuzmenko
Pelletier (RFA) - Rooney - Duehr

Kuzmenko gets traded at the 2024-25 trade deadline, making room for Coronato full-time in the NHL, hopefully he is ready by then. Not to mention whoever Markstrom might fetch in a trade..
