Canes cup run

That MIGHT get you Miller

That VAN trade is awful. The way the Canes team is built as it is already works.

Gardiner cannot be hidden no LTIR, he's healthy

Kotkaniemi is going to be the 2C. SURE AS HELL won't be J Staal. Jarvis on the third line is f**king comical. Miller and Gagner are pointless.

You've gone the complete wrong way about this. If you're going to improve the team, it's the bottom line that needs deadline help. Someone like (this is a comparable, not an example) Tyler Motte to NYR at last years deadline. Someone that can play 5v5 and PK without being a pylon

The Gardiner on LTIR is def an issue there, but likely could be fixed with an additional cap dump trade. I would rather replace with a better player than DeKeyser though.

As for the team structure from this trade I think adjustments need to be made. Primarily JT Miller would play 2C and not LW if this trade were to go down. So the top 6 would consist of Aho Jarvis Teuvo, Svech Miller and Pacioretty. From there the bottom 6 would likely be Staal with Fast and Milano, then 4th line with Kase and Drury centered by KK. Looks like a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over the current grouping right now, arguably gives the Canes the best forward group in the league. I love KK but I feel like there is an unjustifiably large risk putting him in a 2C role with NO backup option this early on. Best to acquire a sure commodity in JT Miller to man that position.

The Sam Gagner signing is definitely pointless, no reason for acquiring him, would rather re-sign maybe Stepan at league min as he was quite a good fit for the team as a depth option.

The backup option for KK is Necas! That is why he is so valuable right now! That's what people miss. Carolina don't need KK and Necas to hit the ground running, they need to not be complete pylons. This makes no sense

Necas's value isnt' that high right now
