<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>You seem to be implying that Henrique is a depth piece and not a top 6 player.

No, understand me. I did not want to classify him as top-6 or depth. Did not comment on his ability. At all. Just acknowledged that he fits in between our likely targets. I was describing our targets for clarification. At the risk of repeating myself, I know the Canes would like to target a top-6 'with term' or term control. The other pieces would be purely rental. So, someone like Meier, an RFA, whom I believe to be a target that they can extend 7-8. And maybe a depth forward and depth D as pure rentals. Not slighting on Henrique.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>Henrique is kind of in a funny spot with 1 more year on his contract, at least for the Canes initiative. He's not really a rental. Canes would like to grab a top-6 with term or 'control', but their depth moves would just be rentals. So it's a square peg in a round hole for us. That may very well fit for some organizations, but that is the lay of the land for the Canes I think.</div></div>

-I haven't seen anything from Klingberg that would make me think he's worth a 1st round pick, even retained down to $3.5M. For an offensive RHD, he's barely outscored the guy the Isles would be trading away at 5v5 (Klingberg is 6-10-16 at ES; Mayfield is 5-9-14.) And if the Isles were looking for a PP QB, I don't know why they'd target a guy with 4 PP points in 45 GP despite getting 2:11 of power play time every night. I think the price is extraordinary for his production, and I also think the fit is awful - Klingberg hasn't shown that you should put him on PP1 over Noah Dobson this year, and being one of the top D on a team that is on pace to be the worst defensive team of the cap era doesn't make me feel too great about bringing him in, much less giving up a future 1st rounder &amp; a very strong defensive Dman in Mayfield.

-I think you gotta go full 50% on Henrique's retention to get the '23 1st; I wonder if Carolina is the best fit for Rico. I think there's something to build on here.

-Kulikov &amp; Grant trades are probably close to fair value (I'd peg those guys at 4th &amp; 5th round picks in a trade, respectively) and I'd say we probably don't know exactly where either one is going yet - both of these guys are decent enough to be able to slide in on probably a half-dozen contenders. I'd use my last retention slot on getting Kulikov down to $1.1M and open up his market a little more, but that's just me.
