PIT

Krug, Torey ($2,500,000 retained)

That’s too big a return for Buch. Might be able to swing Morrow and Necas if they don’t think they can sign him. However, I think the preference for the Canes would be to retain Necas and move prospects. Not sure what their cap is for next year

Canes wouldn’t move necas or Nikishin for Buch, needless to say both, then add in a 1st and it just gets crazy one sided

Armstrong needs to stop giving every player that signs with the team a trade clause. He's just not a good GM anymore

Did you mean to make this Thomas instead of Buch? You're not getting Necas OR Nikishin for Buch straight up, you want both AND a 1st?

You're not getting Necas for Buch. Necas is the more valuable asset

If the Canes were willing to do this, why not this TDL? No thanks.

Buch is a great player, but the return for him went down pretty significantly when he wasn’t moved at the TDL.

Canes counter with KK & 1st for one year of Buch at $2.9m

PIT is tanking so they aren't going to be interested in Krug. Also, didn't Krug refuse to waive last season and state he would only waive for hometown Detroit?

Carolina isn't doing that. And no, Snuggs is not a C.

It's bad... Necas is producing at a similar rate to Buch while being several years younger and Nikishin's simply untouchable. Like Thomas and Kyrou (not or, and) would need to come the other way to even make that a remote possibility

He is good on with trade, decent with drafting, and terrible on signing/resigning.
