Those are some of the more even trades ideas I've seen on here, maybe over payment on a couple of them. Nice job.

Hanafin was the third overall a few years ago so his value is pretty much still a third overall pick so I don’t get where Lindholm is worth Pacioretty, Lindgren Benn and a second round pick.

Montreal easily says no to that trade.

Your lines are a mess. The D is really thin now. No reaon to sign Ward back if you are adding those 2. Buffalo passes on that. Wings too. But at least your trades are well thought out, tried to fill other teams needs, reasonable values for most part.

Hard pass from Detroit

Who the hell is Wallmark? The only way Svechnikov ends up in Carolina. Is when Jake Beans winds up in Motown.

Where a player was taken has nothing to do with current trade value. There was a 40 goal scorer last year that was taken in the 6th round. Is he still only worth a 6th? Dumb logic. Take the second out and it’s not only pretty even but benefical to both teams. They put an unrealistic price tag on Max at the deadline and got a rude awkening. His trade value isn’t anwhere near what they or Habs fans think it is. Especially with only one year left and unlikely to re-sign. Benn and Lindgren have little value on their own. Adding 2 good young pieces under team control for a rental, spare parts, and a 1st. I think they do it.

MTL wants a first pairing defenseman and top 6 center and I literally gave you that

Look at last year's AHL stats hallmark has the most most points/game. he's honestly better than e svechnikov

I think the lines actually look pretty good but how could they be improved w this roster?

Also i'm just keeping ward around until lindgren is fully ready for the nhl which is probs 1 year maybe 2

Detroit's not doing winger for winger, If we deal Svechnikov it will be for one of Carolina's young D prospects nothing else.

And i agree that the defense did take a step back but it's still respectable

You are overvaluing svechnikov but we can give you h fleury if you really want. Btw wallmark plays center.

How Lindholm a top 6 center, he sure hasn’t shown it yet in his career.

That's a chance you'll have to take but the deal is still fair

Who's overvaluing? Wallmark is a 4th round pick drafted at #97 in 2014 Svechnikov is a 1st round pick drafted at #19 in 2015 no way does Wallmark have the same value as E Svechnikov. Haydn Fleury would probably work but would rather do something around Svechnikov+AA for Jake Bean.

Yes players can out perform their draft placing but trading that many elite pieces for one isn’t being a good manager. Hanafin is good but your basically trading Zadina and Pacioretty for him, which is over paying for him.

Benn is really the only one without value here, Lindgren looks like he will be an NHL goalie that equals value.

And as for your assessment on Pacioretty well you either appreciate oak scorers or you don’t. But Pacioretty is still one of the best goal scorers in the game, last time I checked there was only about 5 guys who have scored more then him in the past 5 years.

I mean would Carolina trade away one of 6 guys currently in the league to have 4 consecutive 30 goal seasons over the past 5 years? Did Rick Nash not get NY a first round pick, roster player, prospect and another pick?

Look at the trade market and the history, Pacioretty is worth more then your giving him credit for.

How is it fair?

Hanafin = 3rd overall

Lindholm = Pacioretty, Lindgren, Benn and a second round pick?

Your delusional

Aho is not a center you can’t use him there. If you could you would not need to trade for one. 5 rookies? 3 of whom aren’t ready for NhL. Lindgren is NHL ready.

Max-ROR-Aho
McGinn-Staal-TT
Zykov-Necas-Williams


Rest of the rookies should be in jr or AHL. Need to spend some of the cap space on a 4th line and uograde the D which is a good top pair and a bumch of 3rd pairing types.

It would take more than Habs 1st rounder to get Hanifin. Trust me on this. B’s have tried and offered more.

When trading for a player you are tading for what they are worth now and what you think they can do for you, not for what they did in the past. Which is why Habs could not get the asking Price they wanted for Max. 1sr and 3rd is his value right now til he regains his form.

So the Bruins offered Pasternak for Hanafin? Because that’s what Zadina is projecting to be, which is what dictates his trade value according to you.

His value is a mid first rounder and a prospect, that prospects value would differ on what position and need they aimed for him to play.

You can say that a players value is what they are going to do for a team but you have to look at their career and see what they have consistently done, when GM say there’s a guy who is going to score 30 us. For the past 7 years Pacioretty has been nothing but a top line left winger, over that time you could even say he was one of the 5 best left wingers in the game.

You can have your opinion but stats and facts point to a very different story. Not to mention that if I’m Carolina he walks into their top PK unit, PP unit and probably plays 18 minutes a night.

i think with minor tweaks to trades these are good deals

Aho is a center do you watch the canes? Cap friendly has him at lw but he played center with teravainen and zykov at the end of last year and it was successful.

I do, i watch everyone. He isn’t a center. He’s not very good defensively there and below average on faceoffs.. center on PP unit i can see.

Interesting... i guess if aho plays wing that will change things, but if the canes get zadina do you think they can both play next season?

Hanifin is worth more than the third overall pick
