That's being a little stuck in the past. Monahan has been on decline for 2 years. And now has had a major surgery. He is not worth Mitts straight up.

There is no value in teams that need to hit cap floor. Why would teams do another team a favor for free.
Teams will take on cap for picks, or they will just sign people for money.

Pesce and UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>It's quantity over quality. The only reason contending teams trade away any of their top tier of players is because of cap issues. Pesce, at his current contract, has incredible value. Carolina would be digging a massive hole, and wouldn't be getting any dirt to throw in the hole. You're likely looking at 2-3 years at <strong>minimum</strong> for either of those picks to even sniff the NHL, at which point Carolina's window could potentially be a heck of a lot shorter than it currently is.
If I'm Carolina, I'm adding to my team, not subtracting.</div></div>
I think throughout all the comments that was certainly clear.
I also think that this proposal isn't as ridiculous as people are making it out to be.
I certainly understand why carolina wouldn't do it, but, it isn't outside the realm of possibility

Pesce and UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Pesce should, and would be on the top pairing if it was anyone else other than Rod coaching the team. The only reason Rod plays him on the second pairing is because he doesn’t want all his eggs in one basket. Pesce is a legitimate top pairing defenseman, so 2 late firsts and a roster player who holds no value to the Canes would be a terrible move for the Canes. So the pile of junk you offered would be immediately shot down.</div></div>
Again bro I can't take anything you say seriously when you talk about 3 Firsts as a pile of junk.
As discussed through out the post I can u derstand the value of a certain player being worth more to a team than anything that can get traded.
But seriously you can't sound more annoying by keep saying this is a pile of junk.
Please tell me how many defenseman have netted a trade of 2 Firsts. And then tell me how they compare to Pesce.

Pesce and UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>I Agree it's not a pile of junk but two late first rounders and Middle don't do much for a team right in their contention window. Pesce is hard to replace and those pieces don't do anything for the short term which is what Canes fans and the team are more concerned w/ right now. When there's no incentive to trade a player away the price is always going to be astronomical.</div></div>

Pesce and UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Someone to fill the hole that Pesce would leave, a top 6 pure goal scoring winger, a top prospect, and high draft capital. Anything less gets immediately shot down.
That might seem like an overpayment to some, but at the contract he is on, and for what he provides on and off the ice, the teams that would want to acquire Pesce would essentially be asking the Canes not to make a run at the Cup that year. And that would require a big overpay, not just to pry him out, but to make the Canes not take a shot at the cup.</div></div>
Why would someone trade someone who can fill Pesce's role, plus a top 6 scoring winger, and high draft capital.
Let's take a look in the mirror bud. That is preposterous.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>That junk pile won’t get Pesce. 16OA, 28OA, and Mittelstadt is of no help to the Canes now, but also subtracts more than actually adds. Canes have no need for any more Centers. Canes are contenders, not retooling or rebuilding. Canes won’t consider the thought of trading Pesce until Heimosalmi is comfortable at the NHL.</div></div>

Guys this is your 2nd pairing defense and you're getting 3 1st rd picks lol.
I get that it leaves a hole in your D and is tough to replace and that's fine and understandable.
But per Pesce's value this is more than fair and far from a pile of junk lol

That's all good, if I'm giving up #9 then that's all I'm giving. I would not add joki.
And in all honesty, if there was more push back I would just wait and offer sheet him and bank on next year being better than #9

Using Cap Space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>Have you watched the player this season? He’s still solid. The Athletic has his market value for this season as $3.6M. For context, the only Sabres defenseman with a higher market value for their production this season is Dahlin at $5.2M.
Johnson is overpaid but you’re a fool if you genuinely have watched the player and still think his value is a negative first round pick.</div></div>
I do watch. And he is serviceable. But for the cap hit I'm not taking that especially not paying for that.
Sure is his market value a negative 1st. No. But I'm not giving the future stanley cup Champs any cap relief. So that's where I would say it would cost a 1st.

I guess I don't see how he is a good fit. Dude is just washed, he can't skate and he is expensive. Plenty of of washed veteran ufas you can sign without spending.
