<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Latt_Mowery</b></div><div>I dont think its enough, I really think MTL would get a better offer from another team. I seriously see the best CHI would offer MTL is Anisimov, 1st, and maybe a mid tier prospect. and want picks back with Patches. but I just think the HAWKS wont give a 1st since its not lookin real confident this is a for sure playoff team (they shouldnt deal the first untill a trade deadline deal, make sure they are in a good spot), and arnt really looking to give up anymore prospects. and some other team has more assets to offer that are probably more enticing than what the hawks are willing to part with.

at the end of the day i DONT see CHI landing Skinner, Faulk, or Patches.</div></div>

100% agreed. Every team is looking at the Duchene deal saying...MTL needs to get this, but no one realizes how HORRIBLE of a trade that was.

Thread: Other trade ideas - DET, CHI, MTL
I don't think the Hawks give up Dylan Sikura rn - it'd send a bad message to other NCAA players they drafted. Sikura had the option to go FA ala Kevin Hayes and trusted that the Hawks has his best interests / wanted him, so it would look pretty terrible if they traded him the summer he could have picked to go anywhere if he'd just waited a couple of months. The fact that they already have one NCAA guy who jumped ship, it wouldn't be a good idea to add to that, not when the Hawks draft heavily from NCAA candidates.

The actual idea is sound, though - rentals in the past have been 1st + top prospect. The Hawks don't really have any top 6 quality forward prospects but have a lot of defense that could project top 4. I don't think that's what Carolina wants, though, so I don't know if they're good trading partners. I'm not sure a team in transition will give up a 1st for rental ahead of the season either - more likely to happen at the TDL if the team was in a position to succeed.

Thread: Hurricanes Oilers trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Latt_Mowery</b></div><div>Interesting. I can kinda see it. the cap space for EDM would be tight for next year. but not CAR's problem and its potentially doable.
CAR would potentialy have the best Center depth in the league with this. and will all the D locked up for 3 years. this could be a pretty decent team. even if EDM said no, if you threw in a second or first for a sweetener theyd have a hard time saying no. especially with RNH going back to 2nd line center and suring up the D with faulk and getting a legit scoring winger for mcdavid to play with. and CAR getting a 1 2 punch with Necas and Draisaitl for the future. not too bad. especially with all the wingers around them.

not bad</div></div>

I really think this benefits both teams, especially if Oilers sign Skinner or Faulk to an extension. Oilers would be giving up 7 years of contract for 3 years in Faulk and Skinner, but they get a prospect to compensate. I'd add a 2nd round pick if Oilers need more, especially because Drai is locked up for his best years.

What's striking to me is how a top-6 center makes the Hurricanes suddenly look REALLY good, except for in net. And that's not likely a problem they can solve this year.

Thread: What it would take to get Panarin Back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Latt_Mowery</b></div><div>I know this doesn't fix any of the problems with defense. and you are basically banking on crow standing on his head again like at the beginning of last season. and hope the young guys in the bottom six can contribute to depth scoring and just help keep the puck out of the net. and you throwing a hail marry up there that the defense basically just takes a major step forward in their overall ability. You probably could get a lil bit more of a return from CBH but i just dont really know much of their prospects. i just picked one that has a pretty good AHL career.

but im pretty sure this is close to what it would take to land panarin.</div></div>

I agree with you, and thats why I don't think the hawks should be in on Panarin. DeBrincat scored 28 goals at 19. Panarin was 24 when he entered the league and scored 30. I know there's a whole different level of play that Panarin brings, but trading 19 year old 20+ goal scorers doesn't seem like a great idea. I think the hawks have to look at other ways to add scoring. (But they really need to fix the D core)
