OOF! Bud, there is no way Carolina does that trade. There is also no way they get Bjugstad signed for that low of cap hit, ditto Ryan McL.

Why even offer that?

Is it just because he's a Washington kid that every second Edmonton ACGM has Seattle acquiring Yams? Seattle is deep at forward, especially on the wing, which would likely limit his opportunities to succeed. Also, when you consider he failed to succeed (ie. produce offense) last season when given the chance to play with 2 of the world's best offensive players, it doesn't do much to make the Kraken want to add him and move someone else down their depth chart or off the team entirely. (?)

Also . . . helping a division rival free up cap space so they can improve their roster is none too appealing, either!

God that Pesce offer is just a waste of key strokes

Where have you been the last several days? We're up to 1000 similar Pesce trades and counting. Like either no one reads previous posts or people believe if you propose it often enough it will magically come true.
