Personally, I’m not opposed to the trade, but it doesn’t make much sense for the Canes right now. With Kase on the shelf for the remainder of the year, the Canes have a total of just under 11mil worth of LTIR relief. They could make a couple of big moves with that flexibility, whereas, assuming JP clears waivers for Edmonton, the Canes would still have to eat his buried penalty this year. If I’m Waddell, I’m heavily looking at JP as a signing for next season, as a cheaper replacement for Fast, since he won’t be qualified by Edmonton.
