Description

Yes, Chatfield normally would not be a 7D on any other team, but the Canes genuinely could run 3 top-4 pairings with equal even-strength time if they own-rental Skjei and Pesce together as a pair. Having an energy-conserved Brent Burns could also be a huge advantage to Carolina by the time the post-season comes around.

they don't need to but it seems like overkill to me when you could probably use another point-scoring forward. great blueline though i must say

Now imagine this team with Lindholm as 2C and KK/Staal running the bottom 6 lines.

Now imagine this team with Lindholm as 2C and KK/Staal running the bottom 6 lines.

The Canes are 2 million under the cap WITH the comically-loaded blueline. They can just conserve cap space and still fit Lindholm or, more likely, a forward with some term in via a deadline trade. The Canes don't have to do a damned thing until March if they really want to.

That's a most righteous 3rd pairing.
