Deadline Guesses with some nonsense

Minnesota declines. Yes it's a 3rd but we have connor dewar and nico sturm for that role and both are fast, and really good 4th liners

TB is more likely looking for blue line depth Rakell is a luxury TB doesn't need

'we'?

you work for the mild?

I don’t know if Bear gets traded with how good he has started to look the past few games. And right now, Canes can’t exactly afford to trade any of their roster dmen, at the very least until DeAngelo gets back. But getting back to Bear’s play, it’s the best he has played for his season. If you were to tell me Bear would get traded maybe 3 weeks ago, I would have believed that, but now I’m having my doubts. I could be wrong though. I mean, just look at my predictions for Toffoli and Ritchie.

I don’t really know if the Canes would be interested in Manson. He is older and more expensive than Bear, and is a UFA rental, which Carolina really has a track record of not wanting to buy rentals at the deadline. If Manson were a more clear cut upgrade over Bear, and while statistically speaking he might, other aspects, particularly money wise, make Bear more appealing. Someone like Comtois would be more appealing to the Canes, but I know Anaheim won’t be shopping him. If there is a rental the Canes might go after, it would probably be Forsberg half retained. At the deadline, the Canes might add, but they also might just stand pat with the roster they currently have.

You should look at Minnesota wild roster before making this comments
