Ceci might be a start, he’s RHD but if you think a mid level prospect &amp; a 3rd, 4th liner gets it done you’re out.of.your.mind……

Try Broberg - Ceci - Bourgault or Lavoie plus picks…

Even then the ask might be Holloway - Broberg plus picks..

Remember, this team has Tulsky &amp; he will want top grade return.</div></div>

If you consider the Ekholm trade it puts it into better perspective. Ekholm is a better player, he had the playoff run and now three more seasons AND Nashville retained money! They got a 1st and Reid Schaefer (last years late first round pick A- level prospect), Tyson Barrie and moved their 6th for our 4th round pick. Okay. Now Pesce isn’t quite as good and only has this one season remaining under contract and it’s known he’s not resigning in CAR. They get a first, B level prospect, quality third liner and quality replacement dman with two years left on his deal. So to me this is a fair trade

Canes will say no and then OS Bouchard for that insult of an offer.</div></div>

Ceci at 3M for two more seasons is a good cheaper replacement player for Pesce in the lineup especially year two when the cap jumps. Then you add Foegele who now has value because of his play in the playoffs. Now a 1st and a B level prospect for a guy that won’t resign in Carolina I think the offer is close

Thread: Pesce and Hellebuyck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>The oilers arent getting pesce. Like 14 dollars of cap space and 1 and 1/3 trade assets left. Itd be more worthwhile for the canes to just run it back one more time than trade for what will be 27th overall or something plus Cody Ceci of all players.</div></div>

Broberg is great prospect and can turn out well. Ceci could thrive in the canes system if deployed correctly. The first round pick will turn into solid prospect if the canes play their cards right. Not to mention the second round pick is in the deepest draft in years so the canes could get a real gem. However if they do ultimately decide to keep pesce over trading him for picks and prospects that would understandable as they have a solid chance at a cup next year. However I believe this trade i have made here is a realistic return for pesce considering his expiring contract.

Lavoie, is not a bust. He has taken massive strides this season, actually. He is trending to make the team next season. I’ve been following this player, including watching all his games over the past 4 seasons and I wanted to trade him last summer, because I felt he was a bust. This season he really turned his game around.

If you care to read this, here is an excellent summary (with video) on the top goal scorer and the most consistent 5v5 player in Bakersfield this season:

Clearly you don’t watch Oilers games on the regular. Kostin wore the same uniform, but barely shared the ice with 97 or 29.

He generated his goals on the 4th line mainly, with some time on the 3rd. Linemates were mainly Janmark, Ryan, Bjugstad and McLeod. He had a primary assist on 2 McDavid goals, 27 Feb vs Boston &amp; 1Mar vs TML.

Draisaitl had 0 points on Kostin’s scoring stats. Klim Shady has a wicked hard shot, scored on an off-wing wrister vs LA in the 1st round that was measured at 97 mph…. He could be a 20 goal scorer in this league as a 3rd liner, but he’s gonna get paid.
