Theres no way the Canes even consider that trade. Hamilton was a top 5 defenseman this year

Also you overpayed Tanev by about 1,5 mill

Lol not even close. First of all Hamilton played 47 games last year and finished 18th in scoring, so no he’s not a top 5 defenseman.

Secondly, Tanev gets 5 million per MINIMUM

It's not the skill level, it's the contract. Sutter makes 4.35M. We can find a million better options in UFA for about 3M

Points aren't everything. But if you want to go that route, Hamilton finished 4th in points/game

Spectacular xGF/60 and xEVO as well

exactly the cap hit and the age and the foot speed are all no thank yous.

we will find another center.

Also @Ken_Holland is right with hamilton you are no where close.

A #1 young RW for Hamilton. How is that “nowhere close”? What do you think you’d get if you traded him? Look what he was traded for, a package that is worse than Boeser

that trade is considered to be a steal by the hurricanes

And who says that can’t happen again? Especially when this offer is much higher in quality imo.

Canes have Slavin, Vatanen, Pesce, Gardiner, Van Reimsdyk, Bean, Fleury, Etc Etc. Absolutely loaded and would be trading from a position of strength. I hear you though

Foot speed?? Clearly you haven’t seen Sutter play, he’s an excellent skater and one of the fastest on the team. His cap hit is only for one more season and he’s only about 1 million overpaid. Would it help if it was Sutter 1 million retained?
