Once again, anything involving Jarvis is a no go. I like Sheifele, but not to the point of giving up Jarvis. Besides, Sheifele wouldn’t be a C in Rods system. So if he ends up in Carolina, he would need to get used to the wing. The C core next season will almost certainly be Aho, KK, Staal, Drury, with other options such as Domi, Stepan, Lorentz, and Martinook to switch into a C role if the need arises. Sheifele would be a huge offensive lift for the Canes, but if he continues to refuse to play both sides of the puck equally, he would be a terrible fit. Everyone on the current Canes roster is either already good at the defensive side of the puck or has taken a few steps forward in developing their defensive game.
There are so many similarities between Sheifele and Skinner, and I really doubt that Sheifele would be the best fit in the Canes system.
