How that makes sense for canes. They don't need bottom 6 forwards nor more D prospects. And they just named Faulk to Alternate captain would be odd to trade him for scraps right after.

I can see him being traded because he’s not better then Pesce or Hamilton and he won’t like playing 3rd pair minutes. But not for this package.

Leafs would have offered that 3 month's ago if they would take it. Gonna be a 1st for starters. Than likely an above average non high end prospect, then a regular player/contract

Yeah ofc. But after giving him A it would be odd to trade him right after.. maybe at some point of season if they can finally find trading partner who can offer some decent F help. He has played with CDH at the camp so I wouldn't be too surprised if he is on the 2nd pair on the opening night line up. Hope him good start to season and boost his value.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to Vegas or somewhere like thsy for a good goaltender if Darling craps the bed. I haven’t been paying attention to camp. Who has Dougie been with and who has been the spare D man? We don’t need forward help. We need goalie help. We have a lot of good forwards and more in the AHL we don’t need help offensive help, especially with the blue line offensive point production. Aho Svechnikov Teräväinen Staal Necas Zykov McGinn Williams and Rask all have the capability of putting up 40+ points each. After that Martinook Wallmark Di Guseppie all look good. Ferland idk about he can put up 30 and if he’s with Aho and Teräväinen he can break 40.

They have used Slavin-Hamilton, CDH-Faulk, Fleury-TVR and Bean-Pesce.

Pesce tho has had some healt issues so it might affect to those pairings atm.

I know Pesce had surgery in the offseason on his shoulder, him and bean as a future 2nd pair <3, prefer him with Slavin tbh
