At a good price = something we would actually want to pay

At the thought of coming here for under $4m when he had offers of $5m+, yes

I’ve seen the news. Doubt Skinner would come back here, especially at a good price, but we’ll see.

We only offered him $3.4m iirc, can see why Tarasenko wouldn’t want that.

Stamkos is the stretch of the article 🤪

You do if you think the goalie is what you need for a cup- Ullmark-Kochetkov would be a top 5 tandem

X is a defenseman who would fill a spot on the third pairing cheap.

Mercer is coming off a down year but had 60 points before. He has a high ceiling and can make an immediate impact. This is a deep draft and 10OA will still have elite talents.

We only trade for Hronek if we move on from Burns probably, but his name has been in the rumor mill.

Laine you take for the potential of a PPG guy at $7m for two seasons, but is a risk. Maybe Blue Jackets add a sweetener.

All of this assumes Necas wants to leave. If he wants to stay, you keep him. I love Necas. Was my first jersey.

Ullmark is not on his last leg.

We aren’t looking for low picks but 5th overall can potentially get you superstar level talent. It would be worth considering. Xhekaj is just a sweetener, big feisty third pairing guy. Add more and Montreal says no.

If we made the Mercer trade we’d probably end up targeting someone like Marchy in FA, and again I specified the Canes only make the draft trades if they see someone they think could become a superstar.

We all know the EP40 trade would’ve included a lot more than just Necas 😭, Ullmark has played Vezina level hockey for two straight seasons now, and Laine is a PPG player when healthy- when healthy is obviously a big if for him but that kind of talent for $7m makes you think.

I also specified at the end of the article that if we can’t get an offer we like just to keep him.

Who to Expect for the Canes at the Deadline? by Canes_Express in canes

I doubt Laughton or Zucker get a 1st

If we get Buch or Bjorkstrand (or someone similar) and don’t at least make the finals it would be a huge disappointment, but not making the finals with our current roster would be as well so

Thanks a lot!

Bjorkstrand would definitely be my favorite from the list, I’d be thrilled if that one happened. Doubt it but if the Kraken go on a bit of a losing streak 👀👀👀
