Canes pass. Not giving up a 1st+ for him.

24 years old playing 18 minutes a night. 1.4 cap hit. Rfa after the season. Perfect addition to a d core that will likely loose pesce. For a late first. Leafs traded sandin for a 1st ++ and liljegren is a better player than him.

Even if you don’t trade pesce, wouldn’t you rather have liljegren than jalen chatfield on the ice in the conference finals? Jalen chatfield?

Konecny will cost more than that

Would rather use that late first and other assets to make a move for a top 6 winger or a legit top 4D with team control. I don’t hate Lil but doesn’t move the needle.

Nope, chatty was great all year and good in his role in the playoffs, absolutely no issue with him. Hope they extend him on a cheap long term deal to hold third pair down.

Also don’t think it’s that likely they move pesce. Lebrun said if they can’t extend him they’d look to move him, haven’t seen anything saying those negotiations are trending towards a trade. If they do in fact move him I’d expect a lot of teams would be interested though and we can use those assets to flip for that top 6 or top 4 help.

Flyers easily decline
