Description

First iteration I posted of this was just a trade between the Canes and Bruins, was Ullmark, Gryz, and Lysell for Skjei and Necas. Bruins upgrade their top 6 and top 4, Canes get much needed goaltending help while keeping the defense very strong. Seemed like most people liked the general idea of it, but one pushback I got that made a ton of sense was that the Canes would be unwilling to trade Necas unless it returns an NHL ready top 6 replacement. Which mean it gets expanded into a three teamer.

Canes get: Ullmark, Grzelyck, and Elias Lindholm. Big upgrade to goaltending, upgrade to top 6, slight downgrade the LHD depth but still strong with Slavin, Orlov, Gryz. Lindholm gets extended, Gryz ca

Bruins get: Skjei and Necas. Upgrade to the top 4 and top 6, downgrade to goaltending where they commit to Swayman as the #1 and promote Bussi to be the backup.

Flames get: Canes 2024 first round pick + Fabian Lysell. Seen a lot of Flames fans make mock trades that send them the bruins 2025 pick + Lysell for Lindholm, this is better then that.

I can live with this deal... it seems like it would work for Canes... Get another top-6 piece + the goaltending we need and the price isn't too much

That is still way too much for the Canes to be giving up. Goalies don’t have that level of value, and Ullmark is clearly being treated as the main attraction.

A separate problem would be Lindholm. Canes are going to spend any big assets to bring in an expensive rental just to play 3C. And they won’t pay Lindholm the extension he would want. Interesting idea, but probably not something the Canes do.

I would say it's too much for Carolina to give up. Make the pick a lower pick probably.

Boston does that in a heartbeat. Doubt Canes consider it.
