That’s what he’ll get . He’s been so good

Cant imagine the canes want to do this considering the offseason

Last time Carolina spent a 1st besides stealing KK was in the Skeji trade

That guy had term

I just cant see them spending high assets on rentals its not their style

Look at last TDL

Ghost for a 3rd
Pulijarvi for meh prospect

Or the TDL before that

Domi for meh prospect


That team makes very calculated trades

Canes don’t do 1sts for rentals, and the interest probably isn’t there anymore considering how the offseason transpired.

While I agree with this analysis of the Canes recent refusal to move first round picks the Canes also haven't seen any thing past the conference finals since 2006. Maybe it's time to change your ways for success. If what you have done at the deadline the past few years isn't enough to get you over the hump why keep that mentality.

This is a silly argument for multiple reasons, but mainly: The teams that spent multiple first last season (Boston and Toronto) got beat by the same team that beat the Canes. The Rangers also spent a first, and didn't make it out of the first round. The two teams in the SCF? Neither spent more than a 3rd (in Florida's case, they didn't spend at all at the TDL).

It's also silly because while this core of players hasn't made it past the ECF in their two trips there (I hate the whole "since 2006" thing, as if the team didn't go a decade of missing the playoffs with multiple teams), they have still made it twice! And have made the playoffs multiple every years since they first got back in 2019.

Finally, if you are going to spend a 1st on a rental, it really ought to be for a strong need (IMO). Currently the Canes biggest need is Goalie, with an upgrade at 2C being the second biggest. That could all change with injury or whatnot in the next month and a half, but as it stands Tarasenko just isn't that big of a need to spend a first on.
