Final Piece

Team: 2020-21 Carolina Hurricanes
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 14, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Canes are looking lile legitimate cup contenders but I do think they are that "true starting goalie" short. Come playoff time it is often the better goalie that wins the series and competing the juggernaut that is Tampa will require that final piece. I'm not going to say Kuemper is better than Vasilevskiy but I do thi k he is capable of going toe to toe, something that Mrazek and Reimer probably can't. Nedeljkovic has looked good but I don't think he's ready.

Canes fans may think this is too much but I think this is the difference between pretenders and contenders for this team

Salary complications. Although Gardiner was just waived so they could bury that contract. Maybe they are actually gearing up for a move???

Kuemper is currently injured and has only played more than 30 games (31 in one season and 55 in another) twice in 10 seasons. Absolutely, no way I give up all that for him.

Lol obviously this is more of a deadline mobe when Kuemper is back and continuing to do excellent. Thinking you can win the cup with Mrazek/Reimer is extremely optimistic. With Kuemper you at least have an arguably top 10 goalie in the league

Maybe trade Gardiner/Skjei 50% or Pesce, but not Fleury.

Canes wont trade Pesce before Fleury, doubt the other 2 have much interest to Arizona

Maybe Pesce+2nd=Kuemper because ARZ already have Raanta and Hill.
Then, Reimer 50% to STL for Scandella+4th.

They’re a top 3 team in the league with Mrazek hurt and using their #2 and #3 goalies. I think they’re good in the goaltending dept.

They have to get passed Tampa to reach the conference finals, which is where the condition sits

Yes they are top 3 but that doesnt mean anything come the playoffs. Almost every year goalies are the difference maker in the postseason

Zona still has to follow the 3 goalie rule so taking bavk a goalie is relevant. As for your proposal, why are you trading Pesce? He is one of their best dmen (significantly better than Fleury).
