Thread: The Argument in Favor of a 10M Lafreniere Offer Sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tonyhzs</b></div><div>I'd be ok with it being a '24 2nd. Unless someone falls or Stevie has a guy in mind for the NYI pick, I'd be ok sacrificing that 1st. Yes, this draft is deep, and a pick at 20 might be more like picking 10 in a normal draft, those picks are almost always high risk/reward (Caulfield) or low risk lower floor (Rasmussen). Laf is looking for a change of scenery, but he might just be a good middle 6 guy for a ceiling. I'd almost rather swap Zadina for Laf, and give up the NYI pick conditionally depending on both players' performance.</div></div>

The key is if you think that Laf would prefer a rebuilding Detroit over a true contender in Carolina, particularly because unlike the Wings, the Canes can afford to trade two 1sts with how low their picks are likely to be in 2024 and 2025.

Thread: Canes In the Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>Ah thought he was 2C.

I still doubt they trade their LHD of the future for a RW when they can draft one in this year's draft (who's maybe not as good as Jarvis, but still pretty damn good).</div></div>

Nikishin was the real wildcard in my trade proposal. He's also a LHD prospect and has had one of the best KHL seasons that a defenseman has ever had at only 21. Essentially the trade was that the Wings would get a for-sure offensive upgrade in Jarvis while the Canes get a for-sure defensive successor to our pending UFA classes, while swapping a couple of very high upside wildcards in Berggren and Nikishin and Detroit getting an extra 1st because Nikishin isn't allowed to leave the KHL until 2025.
