The issue with this is that you're asking for Carolina to give up a 1st and a 3rd (Kotkaniemi) a 1st (Jarvis), another 1st, and 2 2nds (Drury and the pick). In total, that's 3 1sts, 2 2nds and a 3rd. No. I'm not even saying the value is wrong, but you're not going to get Jarvis definitely, and Kotkaniemi probably. If this was Morrow, and a package of futures, I think it's very different. Carolina don't need to move money to take EP40 half retained. I think Canuck fans are going to call for your head on a spike, but there's no need for a contending team to gut the entire future of the organization for a 2C that is up at the end of the year.
ESPECIALLY with the uncertainty around Teravainen, Pesce, Skjei, Raanta, Necas etc in the future. Carolina won't have the room to pay EP the kind of money he'll ask for on top of gutting the depth. They need the young roster pieces. If this is a futures package, definitely.
