Thread: Rakell for Pettersson and Kapanen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuckoJoyde</b></div><div>you lost me at "Rakell who might not be good anymore". Wut r Wie doin hure, bud? Also Petterson replacing Lindholm? Really dude? Mad bias here.
Rakell to the Pens would be cool but its gonna be for future assets. Not in the mood to be swapping chairs and letting the pens off easy for their mistakes.</div></div>

Rakell has absolutely declined from his peak. Fans tend to have a hard to grasping when that happens. "How dare you say this guy who was good in 2016 isn't that good anymore!" It's dumb and you should stop. Accusing me of bias for that is hilarious. Have some self-awareness, bud.

Rakell this year:

Rakell when he was really good:

Pettersson replacing Lindholm in the lineup doesn't mean he's as good as Lindholm. He's a solid middle pairing guy that does well defensively.

Thread: ANA fans would you
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuckoJoyde</b></div><div>Its a no simply by idea of trading Benoit for Dermott. Benoit is solid on the 3rd paring and has elevated play of other young players like Mahura. Moreover, I dont think we get a 1st but we literally got Fluery for Hakanpaa last year. I bet we can get a decent deal thats probably better then this. Also the leafs need to go for Lindholm. This isnt the year to settle. They can't lose in the first round again.</div></div>

It's a tough call. Even with the addition of a guy like Lindholm, we're in tough in our division. Facing either TB or FLA in the first and second round (I'm going to assume that the wild card - probably BOS - won't make it through), is going to be an extremely tough task, even with upgrades. Our goaltending has been spotty since Christmas, our second line hasn't been producing, and we have had bad luck with deadline acquisitions the last couple years.
I wanna see this team make a deep run and win a cup, but Dubas has to do his due diligence and address the key needs without upsetting the apple cart.

Thread: Deadline Guesses with some nonsense
I don’t know if Bear gets traded with how good he has started to look the past few games. And right now, Canes can’t exactly afford to trade any of their roster dmen, at the very least until DeAngelo gets back. But getting back to Bear’s play, it’s the best he has played for his season. If you were to tell me Bear would get traded maybe 3 weeks ago, I would have believed that, but now I’m having my doubts. I could be wrong though. I mean, just look at my predictions for Toffoli and Ritchie.

I don’t really know if the Canes would be interested in Manson. He is older and more expensive than Bear, and is a UFA rental, which Carolina really has a track record of not wanting to buy rentals at the deadline. If Manson were a more clear cut upgrade over Bear, and while statistically speaking he might, other aspects, particularly money wise, make Bear more appealing. Someone like Comtois would be more appealing to the Canes, but I know Anaheim won’t be shopping him. If there is a rental the Canes might go after, it would probably be Forsberg half retained. At the deadline, the Canes might add, but they also might just stand pat with the roster they currently have.

Thread: SS23 to LW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuckoJoyde</b></div><div>The more Zegras plays the more obvious it is he's more productive with a powerfoward(maybe grinder aswell) that has hands and can shoot decently. We seriously need to lose either Henrique or Rakell on that line. I vote Henrique personally. That said, I am so sick of hearing Comtois-Zegras-Terry. It definitely can be a great line in the future but rn we dont have that depth. Plus, Terry can be on his own line imo. Ive become a Terry believer.</div></div>

I agree with you on this. I love Comtois with Z but understand kinda what they’re trying to do

I think Terry is a rock solid 2nd line wing with maybe a McTavish next season. I think they’d be two solid duos.

Fingers crossed for some solid development
