Description

Not sure the value on Pesce, Canes fans seem to think he is the best Dman in the league so I probably didn't give up enough. Trade comes with a 6x6 extension for him. I tried to find a few cap dumps that can add some value to the team. Karlsson brings a winning pedigree and can play 2C until Kasper is ready, plus Vegas needs to shed a ton of cap this offseason. Not sure if Bailey can play center but it makes sense to take him if NYI throws in a pick. Wings need a backup so i signed a guy who can play 35-50 games depending on Husso.

I think one of Soderblom or Mazur make the opening day lineup. I think Kasper needs some seasoning in the AHL as well.

That's a good starting point for Pesce, but it's not enough. A middle of the 1st round pick and an early 2nd is nice, but seeing what Provorov got, who is undeniably worse than Pesce, I don't think you can even pretend this is close.

I think value is close but might want a bit more. I'd ask for DET first instead of Isles and can drop some of the other stuff. Maybe that's too much though.

I also think that 6x6 or something very close (maybe 5x6) get's signed in CAR for Pesce. If he's leaving I'd imagine some team is willing to go 7+ for him. I don't think he should get that but Severson and Gavrikov got 6.2 and 5.8 so that kind of sets the market, and if those guys got that I think he's looking at 7 if he's leaving.
