Thread: best possible outcome from now until next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ktownchef</b></div><div>The fan base didn't sign this guy. Most of us wanted him traded and to move this team into a rebuild. Most of us wanted that money to keep Horvat not JT. As for last year he was worth a lot since he was over a ppg player making only 5.5 million dollars. Any player with that type of production is worth a ton and the Canucks should have sold high. Not sure what your talking about?</div></div>

Of course you don't because you're a Canuck fan. Your GM and most Canuck fans on this forum WAY OVER VALUED HIM the last two TDL's and no sane GM bit and paid that kind of price because no sane GM wanted to sign him to a new 7-year $8 million/year contract, so your GM had no choice, and now you're stuck with him, and that's why most of you are desperate to trade him. More clear now?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LukaTAG</b></div><div>Maybe you've been deluded by Jordan Staal but no. 3C's aren't worth 4.8 for the next 8 years. Honestly I don't give a damn how good his individuals are, he just... isn't a big factor when he's on the ice.

Don't know what underlying statistics you're talking about, since from what I'm seeing he barely drives play at all. Faceoff percentage is good, but he's a pretty low event player overall. Doesn't produce, although his defense is good. He's a mid 3C overall. He could grow into something more, but man he hasn't even shown flashes of it throughout his career.

Getting rid of Kotkaniemi and adding Nylander HELPS your cap situation, if your goal was to sign your Aho's your Necas' your Slavin's your Pesce's hell your goaltenders getting a contract that expires in line with those, giving you more options there, and getting rid of a dead weight contract would really help.

We're talking about someone that would instantly come in and be your best offense producer, that true force you've been looking for for a while now.

I don't think the Leafs would do this trade.</div></div>

There are a couple of things you have wrong here. Whilst he hasn’t had the greatest offensive stats over the course of his career, he has been one of the best defensive forwards in the league. His offensive production has started to pick up lately, and he has made whoever he plays with more successful offensively. He is only in year 1 of his contract and is only 22.

As for Nylander, he is great offensively, but he sucks defensively, and he would be a terrible fit in the Canes defense first system. The Canes aren’t going to pay to acquire someone who is a terrible fit, and who will just walk when his contract is up. At that point, the Canes lose a 20 year old top line winger in Jarvis, a long term 3C in KK, and their likely future 1RD for a hyper offensive winger who walks after 1.5 years. That is straight up terrible asset management, and sure it helps cap space in the short term, but destroying the roster to do so is just stupid.

Besides, if they really wanted Nylander, they wait 1.5 years for him to become a UFA, and go after him then. That being said, they wouldn’t pursue him anyway, given how many players they need to resign within the next 3 years.

Cool, keep Nylander. Kotkaniemi's long term stability as a defensive monster of a C is worth more than 18 months of a 85 point winger. Especially in a system that prioritizes defense over scoring like Carolina. Kotkaniemi is borderline untouchable right now, he's been real good this year. Don't like his deal? Fine. Keep Nylander and the Canes can just run after him in free agency when he leaves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LukaTAG</b></div><div>Listen to yourself. You wont move a third line center in Kotkaniemi, making 4.8 million (!) for the next 8 years (!!)

for Nylander, a player with 1.5 years left, on pace for 45 goals and 95 points. Look yourself in the mirror.

Kotkaniemi's contract is awful for a 3C that will top out as a middle 6 C in a good case scenario</div></div>

Kotkaniemi is already a long term 3C replacement. He's also 22. Your argument is that he's not worth 4.82. But he just is. His isolated underlyings are among the best in the league, I've already said that. Nylander is a great player, no denying that. But when literally EVERYONE not named Svechnikov or Kotkaniemi has an expiring contract in the next 3 seasons, there's no need to move out a really promising young player. If you really think KK's deal is awful, watch a Canes game. They play Boston tomorrow. No reason to move him for 18 months of a winger that would be a poor fit in this coaching system anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LukaTAG</b></div><div>Yes, I'd trade a 3C on a 4.8 million dollar contract for the next 8 years for 2 years of a 40 goal 90 point winger in a 6.9 million dollar deal. You're insane if you think the Canes don't do that lmao.</div></div>

You're insane if you think that a team that trades scoring for the best defensive structure in the NHL for a winger that doesn't believe in the defensive zone. LMAO. Get outta here if you think they would. It's why Horvat makes no sense. It's why Nylander makes no sense. LMAO. This is how you show you know nothing about the Carolina Hurricanes without saying it. You've proven your opinions here are nothing but a joke. Have a good day in whatever world you live in because it's pure delusion and ignorance.
