Thread: Continuation
I think McCabe is great and he's a huge reason why I love this deal. He would hold over the defense very well to the Canes future. I get why Leafs fans say he isn't available.

I wouldn't say Necas is having an *awful* year. He certainly isn't having the year he had last year. He has been nicked up a bit this year, just came back from an injury. His last two games he has looked great. Necas is very polarizing for the fan base lol. He's not great defensively, although he did well defensively last year. Not sure what has changed this year, but the defense hasn't been there the same way for him. I think he would catch fire for the Leafs without the huge defensive responsibility that Rod expects from all his players.

Canes probably don't do this deal mid season. Most likely would be a deal for the summer before the draft. But if they did do it mid season for some reason, I feel like McCabe could fill Pesce's absence well enough.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pevevey</b></div><div>Really like your proposal. Glad to see you acknowledge someone else's deal and actually appreciate it. Think the Canes could seriously make a run for Marner and I think he would definitely be willing to waive the clause to come to Carolina. I do think McCabe would have to be included in the package otherwise too much for the Canes without returning who I believe could be a killer on the Canes</div></div>

I have you to thank for the idea! I agree they could definitely make a run at him. Who knows if they'll be willing to follow through this time though. They always surprise us with these off the wall trades and pick ups. It seems to work out each time so far, although at some point they're going to have to make a bigger move to push over the top.

Also I think McCabe is a huge part of why I like the trade. He fits super well as a place holder for the Canes future.
