Thread: NecasBear Trade at the Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I wouldn't do this. Chychrun's overrated. He's never had a season as good as the season Skjei is coming off. Carolina got Skjei for a 1st straight up. If you want to move them Bear, I get that. But Necas and the picks for a defenseman that even here is number 3? I don't like this.</div></div>

I would rather just trade Bear, and add more picks, but I don’t think they would take that trade. I think they want some young talent, and Necas would make great incentive to take the trade. I think Chychrun could also come in clutch in a playoff run this year. I like the move provided it’s pulled off at the right time, it could be a bit of a risk, but I could definitely see it paying off in the playoffs, I mean what team in the east is going to score consistently against that D corps. Also, with Pacioretty in the lineup, we would have more than enough firepower to score enough ourselves in the playoffs. I just see Chychrun potentially being more valuable than Necas in the playoffs, and that’s really all this trade is about. We’re not really planning to use Bear, and the picks don’t affect this season. It’s more like an all in on a playoff run type trade. Even though it’s not one for one, the mentality of the trade is a 1 for 1 of Necas and Chychrun.

Thread: Improved Centre Depth after Stastny Steal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canesfan21_</b></div><div>There’s zero point in that blues trade, At all. Barbashev is also not a 2C. KK will never play wing.

Why tf are you giving away a solid depth D man for free?</div></div>

Ok honestly we’re ready to win a cup. Barbashev plays Centre, he scored 60+ points last season, if we want to win a cup, we should look to make a trade to give us a more dependable 2C than KK, and KK plays LW, until he proves himself, I don’t want to see him as 2C. And honestly if we’re going for a cup this season, we shouldn’t be concerned about locking down depth defenseman. We should be getting ready to win the cup then go into a rebuild over the next half decade surrounding our younger players (Svechnikov, KK, etc.) not saying KK doesn’t have potential, just saying this isn’t his era yet, and I feel much more comfortable putting him on wing and demoting him to a lower line as soon as Pacioretty returns.

Thread: Learning still is this better
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canesfan21_</b></div><div>I just can’t see the Canes trading their captain while trying to win a cup, especially with retention. And that’s quite the overpay for Barbashev, Klingberg is no longer needed with Burns. Not sure why Jarvis is on the 4th line.

Staal’s contract is too large for the value he gives to the team. Would be sad to see him go as captain, but I think Aho can fill his shoes for sure! I added Klingberg still in an effort to make the best D corps in the league. Barbashev has definitely proven himself as an excellent point-getting forward, and would fit in perfectly to boost the scoring on our second line. I think the price might be a bit high, but I feel that the return will definitely be worth it in a deep run for the cup this season</div></div>
