Solid looking team, unsure if Luukonen will get that much value back

Because it’s the type of trade teams make at the deadline

That's what too small of a sample size for the Devils to give all that up. Pass.

For good, proven, skilled players. Mitts has struggled at best and Fitzgerald just isn't something the Canes would be interested in. For this Package, I'd expect names like Tarasenko to be floated around. Not a guy that has struggled to make a basement dweller NHL team. Nothing against Mitts, he might turn it around. But as of right now, he isn't worth this.

You think you’d get Tarasenko for a late 1st? You ok?

A rental for a late first and one of the better prospects in the organization, who just thoroughly impressed the front office? Yeah I'm fine. I'm a little more concerned you think you'd get a first for a dude that has a career-high of 25 points.

What has Mittelstadt ever done to be worth a 1st?

Methinks the Canes could aim a little higher than a player with a career high of 25pts if they were to trade their 1st at the deadline.

All I asked was why they wouldn't? I guess you don't know how to have a conversation.

Career high of 25 points, can’t stay healthy, who would he displace in the Canes’ top 9?

Need anything more?
