Avs would match that. It would hurt them but they'd do it. If you want to prise Byram out of Denver on an OS you're talking silly money.

Avs match

Barabanov is a playmaker, he is totally wasted on the fourth line. Miserable asset management.

Buffalo obviously says no

I mean if you drop the 2nd and Joker then it's a pretty fair deal

Hard pass from San jose

Buffalo pass

Probably could get a first for him from someone but probably not a lottery pick in this yeara draft maybe a 2024 1st and most likely from a team that thinks they will be picking after pick 20

I mean I get that it's a strong draft but giving us a 2024 1st isn't really going to be of interest because of where the Hurricanes are as a franchise.

Yeah, but you need to temper your expectations cause teams with a lottery pick are probably not in a place to be spending their 1st round pick on a 2nd pairing point producing dman.

And giving us a pending ufa LHD when we have dahlin, power and Samuelsson (and 3 others under contract) isn't really going to.be of interest to us, hence me saying we obviously won't do that. He also isn't worth close to that

That's fair enough... I don't think the Hurricanes deal him for less than a #1 this year

I mean look who's in front of him... It's a future HOFer. It isn't like he couldn't play on the first paring it's just that the Hurricane's d-core is so stacked

If skjei is your top dman you have a poor d corps.

It's poor but he'd be a top pairing d-man on about 5-10 teams

I don't think that is a reason he is worth a top 15 pick this year.
He is solid, but not great. He is nice to have but don't need him.

That's pretty fair tbh... I mean you could probably get a better price in Toronto or another contender
