Thread: Lisa Dillmans Trade Targets for LA
F<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Who is considered equally good? Someone like Kupari or Madden? I'm not familiar enough with Bean's potential to judge.

I don't think the Kings would be willing to trade Turcotte or Vilardi, and I don't think they'd be willing to move a winger, but I think guys like Akil Thomas, Tyler Madden, and Rasmus Kupari would be on the table if they felt the need to shore up the LHD pipeline.</div></div>

For a Top-4 D/PP QB, it would likely cost Vilardi. Maybe not as dramatic given a Byfield draft but Bean is more valuable to the Canes than a surface view may indicate. He’ll likely be the PP2 QB next year and if Dougie’s extension goes south, he could be the main man in another season. He’s had the luxury of ripening on the vine ( a la the old Detroit mindset). The Canes deep D Corps has allowed it but he’s ready to slot in cheaply next season and I think he’s a big part of the master plan.

Thread: Going back to the well
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>The patient approach with Svech would have been to send him back to the OHL, don't forget that. Necas has had 3 years since he's been drafted, he's looked too good for Charlotte. We had him up on the 3rd line last year and it was not worth his ice time. Necas needs top 6 ice time, and Bennett is not a top 6 forward. It makes no sense to have Sam Bennett over Necas. A good comparison I've heard for Bennett is Zach Boychuk. His game looks good, he just can't breakout. Look at where Boychuk is now, I wouldn't want to take the risk on Bennett. He's had a much better supporting cast over in Calgary than we can offer him in Carolina, don't risk the trade</div></div>

Do you know what position he played in the Calder Cup final? I stand by my lineup and you’re entitled to your opinion, I just don’t happen to share it.

Thread: Offseason fine tuning
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Buddy, you can bring back Haydn Fleury whos younger and better than Jordie Benn, that’s a waste of a mil, as for the trade, you want to take on a Tampa cap dump for Faulk and 2 late round picks? Miller is a good player, but he isn’t worth his contract, this makes no sense for Carolina. Miller isn’t an improvement on Staal, and with necas on his way, there’s no need for another C</div></div>

I couldn’t disagree more. Our center depth is atrocious and hurt us in the postseason. Miller can play all three forward positions, is Nino’s size and can play with an edge. Fleury is still in the system but I’m not sold on what to do with him quite yet. I haven’t given up on him but Bean May be a better special teams answer. IMO option, this team needs a crease clearing DMan. Maybe not for 82 games a year but one that can be deployed when the refs swallow their whistles. BTw, did you read the explanation?
