Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Canes are top 3 in the league in scoring, and have the top PP in the league.

Why are Canes posters trading defensemen (like Skjei) in their posts.

We need to add a depth defenseman not trade away.

Forward group is perfectly fine. The only add to make would be a top 6 forward with term on a decent contract (like Rakell). Don’t need rentals.

Nothing on NST shows me Skjei isn’t a top 4 dman. All it shows me is that the Canes treat Skjei/Pesce as a shutdown pairing and use them heavily in defensive zone start situations. If HCRBA trusts Skjei in the top 4 - who am I to question.

If Fleury isn’t going to play fast and physical like he did in the Bubble, then he needs to be watching and they need to find a better partner for Bean.

Look at the xGA% for each defenseman. Skjei and Fleury are the worst 2 of the 7. Meaning, they should be defenseman 6 and 7 in their own zone! Skjei's been used as an offensive kickstarter, and it's not worked.
