Carolina gets back a high second.

A low first and a high second are very close in value, just FYI.

That doesnt matter. They arent trading a first round pick for a guy who has 39 points in 140 NHL games. There is no logic to that

I give you credit for typing out your thoughts. I was really thinking I was going to get something interesting. However, I was disappointed when I realized this was a discussion about 4th line forwards and about 5 draft spots.

There is no logic to having pending UFA Paquette on your team over a less expensive Nick Paul.

Zero.

Nick Paul's career points don't tell the entire story.

I have a feeling a lot of people overvalue a low 1st round pick on capfriendly :/

The difference between a high 2nd and a lower 1st isn't worth moving Paul.

If we give up Paquette, we lose our goon. He is not here to put up points, he is here to lay hits, and stand up for his teammates with Marty. The two draft picks are useless. I'd have to say no deal.

Still trade Paul and Paquette straight up then no reason to waste a first round pick when that can be moved for better player

Actually, a ton of logic. Paquette is the only person that will hit. Marty stands up for his teammates but doesn't hit, so that leaves Paquette as the only one that does.

Not as good as Paquette. I see him as more of a secondary scorer, which we already have enough of.

Yeah but he also knows how to do more than one thing unlike paquette thus making him much more valuable

Deal is nonsense.

Paquette has been fine in CAR. He was brought in to add grit and be a 4th line C. He’s doing that just fine. His cap hit is not an issue. What on earth makes you think he’s not fitting in and also why on earth would the Canes consider doing this at all?

If he's fitting in, why would Paquette be playing only 6-7 minutes a night?

If he's playing only 6-7 minutes a night in the regular season, he'll be a healthy scratch during the playoffs.

Guaranteed.

Carolina does this for the reasons that I mentioned in the description to this post.

I hoped you at least read them before commenting

Paquette plays just as much as the rest of the canes 4th line (with the exception of Martinook who kills penalties). When there's three lines that can score & play well defensively the fourth line becomes a "feel for the game" type line rather than a line that sees regular playing time.

Also, if Carolina wanted Paul over Paquette, why wouldn't they have just made that trade to begin with?

he’s playing 6-7mins a night because he’s a 4th line forward. That argument makes no sense, kinda like your attempt at explaining a nonsensical trade.

Ottawa should be looking to keep Nick Paul unless someone is truly overpaying for him. I sure as hell wouldn't move him just to jump a few spots in a weak draft.

Because Paul is the better player and Ottawa would tell them to go fleece someone else?

I made no indication Paul is worth a 1st round pick.

If you look a little closer, Canes are getting a high second back and it's very close in value to Carolina's first.

And why do you care about a trade idea that has nothing to do with your team?

Are you trolling?
