Carolina Hurricanes Rumours

21 Aug 2025 07:46:40
Calgary trades - Kadri, 3rd round pick 2027

Carolina trades: kotkaniemi, Nadeau, 1st round pick 2026


Ehlers Aho Jarvis
Svech Kadri Stankoven
Hall Staal Blake

Pretty solid forwards that the canes have needed.

Calgary gets a good prospect and a first while taking on the kotkaniemi contract

21 Aug 2025 13:47:07
I think this is a good basis of a deal. I think CAR would have to add a 2nd or similarly valued prospect to complete this offer.

I would also agree that KK gets traded before camp opens. He just isn’t a Rod Brind’amour kind of player.

08 Jun 2025 18:20:00
D. Mercer, T.Meir, J. Markstrom & 2025 1st for Q. Hughes & T. Demko.

Devils sign N. Ehlers.

Leafs sign Marner 13 X 8, trade to Carolina for Ty Smith & 5th round pick.

Leafs trade, buy-out or dump Kampf, Reeves, Jarnkrok, Robertson & Webber.

Leafs sign Tavares, Fabbro, Pacioretty & Mantha.

08 Jun 2025 19:40:14
why do leaf fans think that everyone is going to take their garbage contracts off of them. and why would you want basically want to ice the same team that hasn't won anything.

08 Jun 2025 22:07:25
Cap floor teams sometimes need & want overpaid players on short contracts. Webber & Robertson have trade value, Reeves, Kampf & Jarnkrok could move to cap-floor teams or be included in trades to offset salary differentials.

Wholesale changes don’t happen in a year. Leafs have talent, they need toughness & some chemistry. They took the champs to 7 games

IMO they win if their starting goalie wasn’t targeted & knocked out.

10 Jun 2025 00:43:59
No chance VAN does that trade, or Marner re-signs with the leafs.

As for the shoulda, woulda, coulda about the leafs advancing if they’re goalie didn’t get injured, or the satisfaction of having taken the champs to 7, (some) of you leaf fans have a unique outlook on hockey, and your team’s place in the league.

I’d be pissed if my team blew a rebuild after drafting a generational talent like Matthews, and managed only 2 series wins in 9 years. Most fanbases would have called for heads to roll 5 years ago.

10 Jun 2025 23:29:50
lol @chickenfoot you have no clue what you’re talking about Mathews is not a generational talent he isn’t even the best player on his team that would be Nylander . I guess I’ll give you some attention since you seem lonely.

11 Jun 2025 17:08:38
Lol Nylander is not the beat player on the Leafs. Does he have the potential to be, for sure. But as we seen in the Florida series he was quite content taking shifts off. Matthews picked up his defensive game at least and was battling an injury. Nylander clearly was not seeing as he hopped on a plane and was in a Swedish jersey the day after elimination. If Nylander can find another gear, another level I'd be happy to revist the conversation. But when his effort level was noticeably not there on numerous shifts, he'll in numerous games, because the bounces weren't going his way he can't be the best player on the team. The best players are still a factor in other facets of the game when their strengths aren't available.

11 Jun 2025 19:24:23
“Generational” is a term used by most with the drafting of Matthews, so it’s hardly an opinion unique to me?. (You’re a leaf fan and you don’t get it? )

MG is the most fair-minded leaf fan on this site, so his words on Nylander in relation to Matthews are good enough for me.

As for your “lonely” comment, that’s an oddly weird comment to make. You’ve done the projection thing before, so you definitely paint a picture. We’re all rooting for you to overcome this multi year funk VB. Better, happier, less angry days are ahead of you, so hang in there?.

11 Jun 2025 22:10:53
If the leafs won the cup hypothetically Stolarz or Nylander would have been the Conn Smyth winner and I don’t think that’s debatable (if the other teams top player didn’t win) . Defensive players don’t win the con Smyth. Atleast I don’t remember one that did.

12 Jun 2025 02:44:50
I mean. a goalie is literally the last line of defense.

Also the old saying has yet to be proven wrong. defense wins championships.

12 Jun 2025 10:33:10
VB:

- the leafs won one round. One. You’re getting VERY hypothetical trying to pick a Conn Smythe Trophy winner from the 2024-25 edition of your team.

- I’m not sure how much hockey you watch, but defensive players DO win the Conn Smythe Trophy. (That’s the trophy with the big Maple Leaf on it. )

- Since 2000, 6 defensemen and 5 goalies have won the Conn Smythe Trophy. 11/ 25 isn’t really an anomally.

12 Jun 2025 15:01:20
Usually the guy who wins conn Smyth is the guy who led teams in points.

12 Jun 2025 16:25:52
Sometimes. But as Chickenfoot pointed out 11/ 25 since 2000 have been a dman or a tendy. When Boston was winning you could have very easily made a case for Bergeron to win the Conn Smythe as well.

The point is Nylander isn't the Leafs best player. He has all the tools to be, but he takes too many shifts off and pretty much shuts down if the bounces aren't going his way. The best player on literally every team picks up their play in another area or in another facet of the game to still help the team.

All Leafs fans can hope for is this off-season we get a guy who will drag this team through the trenches when they need to be dragged. Maybe it comes internally and maybe it comes from a trade or FA. But we need someone who doesnt shy away from the guts of the game.

13 Jun 2025 00:31:30
I literally said goalie or leading offensive player. Obviously that goes for Dman aswell if a guy like Makar puts up 25+ points he’s going to win.

13 Jun 2025 12:53:02
2000- Scott Stevens won with 11 points, good for 4th on the team.

2002- Lindstrom won with 16 points, good for 5th on the team.

2007- S. Niedermeyer wins with 11 points, good for 8th on the team.

2014- Williams wins with 25 points, tied for 2nd on the team.

2015- Keith wins with 21 points, tied for 2nd on the team.

2016- Crosby wins with 19 points in 24 games, good for 2nd on the team.

2017- Crosby wins with 27 points, good for 2nd on the team.

2018- Ovie wins with 27 points, good for 2nd on the team.

2020- Hedman wins with 22 points, good for 3rd on the team behind Kuch and point who were well over a point per game.

2023- Marchessault wins with 25 points, good for 2nd on the team.

Any years I left out you were in fact right about it being the top scorer or a goalie. Even though you only mentioned the goalie winning once and that was with your hypothetical of Stolarz winning. After that you don't mention goalies at all. End of the day it all comes back to Nylander isn't the best player on the Leafs and won't be until he gets better in other areas when the bounces aren't going his way.

LesHabitants…the guy that pretends to be a Hab fan, but posts only leaf-friendly deals. You can’t make this stuff up folks! ?

SJ and CAR hang up, but first they encourage you to embrace your leaf fandom and tell the world loudly and proudly, that you are a leaf fan. (It’s okay, some of my best friends are leaf fans?)

06 Mar 2025 18:08:04
Pinball, I have to ask…what’s your fascination with 35 year-old AHL netminder Dustin Tokarski?

06 Mar 2025 19:41:00
Chickenfoot
Carolina needs another Goaltender for the future and The Leafs are set for today and the future, it's for Carolina not Toronto.
Tokarski will be one of the 3 with The Marlies.
That's why I included Tokarski.

03 Mar 2025 15:04:06
3 way trade proposal.

Carolina Trades
Rantanen*

Nashville Trades
Chistyakov (KHL)

*Caines retain 50% of Rantanen's expiring contract.

A lot of moving pieces but imo this would make all 3 teams happy making a transaction like this.




Thoughts ?

03 Mar 2025 15:25:34
You asked for thoughts but you didn't listen to the feedback.

Salary retention requires draft pick compensation. Ex: Chicago retained 26% of Seth Jones salary for 5 years and received a conditional 1st round pick. Ryan Lindgren was traded to Colorado with 50% retention and the Rangers received 2 picks.

You're asking for 50% retention from 2 different teams but you're offering no draft picks to compensate for the extra help.

And this is exactly why nobody likes or respects you. There are actual NHL trades that happened this weekend you could have used as a blueprint or reference for your own trades, instead you chose to yet again show your Toronto bias and lack of knowledge in regards to hockey trades.

Let's get back to Earth pinball, you're asking for 2 top 6 forwards at 50% discounts (75% off in Rantanens case) and your return for dumping Domi is a better package than what you've suggested to trade with Nashville.

03 Mar 2025 16:08:53
DrwDave
Huh no Draft Picks?
Carolina gets a 1st Round Pick
Nashville gets a 2nd Round Pick
When it comes to draft pick compensation.
Can you read?

03 Mar 2025 16:35:38
DrwDave
Since maybe it's too many moving parts for you to understand so I will try to help you process.

Carolina trades Rantanen and Tokarski with 50% retention of Rantanen's EXPIRING contract getting Domi, Hildeby, Danford, Chistyakov and a 1st Round Pick 2026.

Nashville Trades O'Reilly and Chistyakov with Nashville retaining another 50% of Rantanen's EXPIRING contract getting NRobertson, Minton and a 2nd Round Pick 2025.

Toronto gets O'Reilly, Rantanen and Tokarski trading away Domi, NRobertson, Minton, Hildeby, Danford, 2nd Round Pick 2025 and a 1st Round Pick 2026.

Now do you understand?

03 Mar 2025 16:44:40
Yeah, there’s Pinball, asking for people’s “thoughts”, and then getting insulting and pouty when people share their “thoughts”.

Your posts are a waste of everyone’s time Pinball. May the results of the trades this deadline finally sink in so that you can offer more realistic trades in the years to come. (You won’t, but here’s hoping. )

? Homer Trades
? Whining About Feedback.

03 Mar 2025 17:11:13
I understand you're reaching when it comes to what you value Robertson and Domi to be worth on the trade market and you're trying to package out all the low value depth like you always do.

You knew what you were doing when you came up with this crap, and you definitely knew you weren't offering fair value to Nashville or Carolina for two quality players.

For the last time, don't ask for thoughts from us if you can't be receptive to the feedback you receive.

O'Reilly is on the block, Toronto can likely have him for Domi, Minten/ Cowen, and a conditional 2nd round pick. The rest of this crap doesn't even need to happen it's just fluff.

You're dreaming if you think Toronto can acquire both O'Reilly and Rantanen for this piss poor return.

03 Mar 2025 21:17:50
Chickenfoot
I wasn't whining about feedback I was correcting DrwDave that my proposal had no draft picks in it when it did a 1st and 2nd.
In the end Carolina will be trading from weakness not strength as Rantanen could walk and The Caines get nothing.
If they do trade Rantanen to any team it won't be for what you and other's might think because nothing is long term for him period.
By Friday everyone will know what happens right?
Then we shall see.

03 Mar 2025 22:16:09
Carolina for sure would get more value out of Rantanen by keeping him for this playoff run than they get by trading him for a 1st and throw away pieces.

04 Mar 2025 00:00:03
Pinball, as the moderator once told you, you are in no position to lecture A-N-Y-O-N-E when it comes to hockey.

Your snarky replies to DRW Dave are as out of line as your ill-informed ideas about what constitutes a realistic hockey trade.

04 Mar 2025 02:52:31
Chickenfoot
Lecture DrwDave?
No I was only correcting his mistake and he was completely W-R-O-N-G saying there was no draft picks in my proposal.
Who I am who anyone is on this site nobody is better than anyone else and you're completely out of line judging me with your snarky replies.
I never insult anyone but you seem to do it every chance you get, time to grow up Chickenfoot imo.

04 Mar 2025 13:32:44
@Pinball,
You say this
In the end Carolina will be trading from weakness not strength as Rantanen could walk and The Caines get nothing

But isn't that the same as what could happen to the Leafs with Marner.
Maybe the trade should be, Marner for Rantanen, not some convoluted trade that is highly in the Leafs favour.

04 Mar 2025 14:06:05
Renidrag
The difference between both players is Marner has a NTC Rantanen doesn't, plus Marner has a history here and probably will resign.
Rantanen I truly believes walks and Carolina doesn't want another Guentzel situation like last off season imo.
Carolina might just hold on to him for this years playoffs we won't know until Friday or before.

04 Mar 2025 16:38:54
Pinball, here’s some of your snarky replies to DRW Dave:

- “Can you read? ”

- “DrwDave Since maybe it's too many moving parts for you to understand so I will try to help you”

- Dubious explanation followed by a condescending “Now do you understand? ”

DRW Dave frequently has good ideas, conducts himself with restraint, and doesn’t whine when someone doesn’t like his trade ideas. He’s an adult, and conducts himself like one. You are in no position to ever be condescending to anyone on this page. Your words and ideas are yours alone.

? Whining.

23 Feb 2025 15:30:10
2 trade proposals


Carolina Trades
Rantanen*

Toronto Trades
Domi
Minton (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2027


Nashville Trades
O'Reilly**

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Cowan (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025


*Canes retain 50% of Rantanen's expiring contract.

**Preds retain 1.5 million of O'Reilly's remaining contract.


If Toronto really wants to go for it this season these 2 proposals would put them in a much better place in the playoffs, if they have some cap and assets the last piece would be a Top 4 RHanded Defenceman if possible.



Thoughts ?

23 Feb 2025 19:04:51
Those are Torontos 2 best and pretty much their only nhl prospects, Toronto would be all in this year. Matthew's proven he's nothing in big games, selling a lot of future's. This would put put Toronto in a rebuild for years but it's realistic price.

23 Feb 2025 19:56:39
Pinball stop trying to trade Toronto's useless 4th line players and overhyped minor league players for talented NHL players and then expect $ retention. Shame.

23 Feb 2025 21:24:02
islandjet1
There isn't one 4th line player in my proposal, plus I have added The Leafs top 2 prospects that are real top prospects and a 1st in 2nd Rounder.
What are you talking about?
You aren't making any sense whatsoever.

23 Feb 2025 22:15:04
I don't think the Rantanen trade would happen but I do think the O'Reilly one would be possible.

I Would add Domi to the O'Reilly trade and remove the retention from Nashville.

Or keep the Nashville retention, include Domi, and make the 2nd round pick a Conditional 1st round pick if the Leafs advance to the East finals.

22 Feb 2025 00:00:22
Chicago: Jones ( 1 mil retention for this year and next 4) Colorado: mittelstadt (1mil retention this year and next 2 years) and Carolinas 2nd this year.

22 Feb 2025 15:50:55
This seems to be a fair trade as both players could be a great addition to their new team.

14 Feb 2025 02:09:27
Another laine trade that could be beneficial for both teams
Montreal trades with Carolina
MTL sends laine
To Carolina for svechnikov
MTL gets a player 2 years younger with another 5years at 7.75 per ( Russian perfect to play and communicate with demidov)
CAR gets a proven goal scorer to play with fellow Finnish aho and rantanen
I also believe that habs will target a 1-2 center in off season
Also would like to see a evans and matheson
For Mercer and nemec
Montréal lineup next year
Slavkosky Suzuki caufield
Demidov acquisition svechnikov
Dach Mercer Newhook
Gallagher beck Anderson
Nemec Hutson
Carrier guhle
Mailloux xehjaj
With reinbacher and hage in the near future

14 Feb 2025 03:47:47
I'm sure you'd like to see those trades, but there's no justification for Carolina and New Jersey to sell their guys so low.

14 Feb 2025 03:48:53
It's kinda sad. I thought Laine was turning it around in Montreal.

14 Feb 2025 12:54:58
no chance either of these happen, Carolina is not making that deal for a young proven scorer for a guy who is getting benched and it makes no sense for new jersey to trade young controllable assets for a older players, especially with evans being a free agent and wants a big contract.

14 Feb 2025 16:41:41
Jeez. those are awful.

14 Feb 2025 19:20:51
Carolina hangs up and blocks MTL.

15 Feb 2025 03:37:48
At mg 69 … so was Harris for laine and a 2nd round

15 Feb 2025 21:14:42
Lol it was a high risk high reward trade. Laine has been good in stretches for the Habs, but I've also seen people calling for his head on X.

As for your trades Svech for Laine makes no sense in anyway for the Canes. Svech is the better overall player, he's younger, he's on a great contract for another 3 or 4 yrs. And again there's no benefits for NJ on the next one. Definitely interested in Evans, but not at the cost of Mercer or Nemec let alone both.

17 Feb 2025 16:22:51
So Montreal wants Svech because he's Russian and Carolina wants Laine because he's Finnish.

And New Jersey wants Matheson and Evans because you (a very obvious Canadiens fan) want Mercer and Nemec.

Pending UFAs traded for younger players with term. This is why fans don't get a valid opinion.

18 Feb 2025 00:08:32
Mike matheson has 121 points in 184 games
Simon nemec has 20 points in 71 games
Nemec is in the ahl … matheson is more reliable

Jake evans has 27 points in 55 games
Mercer has 25 points in 57 games
Evan’s has better stat and his way more reliable to shutdown opponents
Not everyone is in a rebuild … btw the goal is still to win the cup isn’t it?

18 Feb 2025 13:44:25
Dawson Mercer was drafted 18th overall in 2020. Jake Evans was drafted 207th overall in 2014. 2 points in 2 less games doesn't make Evans worth more than a 1st round pick.

Matheson was drafted 28th overall in 2012. Nemec was drafted 2nd overall in 2022. I'm pretty sure Devils fans would riot if they heard their GM traded 2 first round picks and core players of their future roster, for 2 rental players that aren't even remotely close to the talent or trade value they gave up to get.

Also if you think Matheson and Evans are better than Nemec and Mercer, why are you trading for them?

19 Feb 2025 02:56:18
Because mtl is in a rebuild and New Jersey are in win now mode … Jesper bratt was a 6th round pick , Brendan Hagel 6th round, Brendan point 3rd round pick … what do you mean?? Justin baron was a 1st round pick and Brock faber was a 2nd rounder of same draft ,,, I also doubt that trade will go down but there have been worse ones that actually happened,,, Thornton for sturm, Stuart and Primeau

05 Jan 2025 05:50:36
Just a thought

To hurricanes

JT Miller

To canucks

M. Necas


I remember Necas want out of Carolina at one point to get a more significant roll else where...

Either way I think it's Miller that has to go, he's not getting any younger.

05 Jan 2025 15:24:16
carolina say no, necas wanted opportunity, they gave it to him and look whats hes done with it. carolina would more likely look at petterson if anything.

05 Jan 2025 19:04:35
With the age difference, Canucks need to add something. But I also don't see the Canes wanting to trade Necas. He's cooled off some, but he still had 6 to 7 really productive season in front of him, where Miller has peaked and could possibly start regressing.

22 Nov 2024 00:34:34
Montreal trade with Carolina
Mtl sends: Mike Matheson and Kirby dach and Florida or Calgary 1st round
To Carolina fo r Martin Necas
That is if Necas doesn’t want to be I. Carolina for long term
If only Kent would of drafted mishkov instead of reinbacher 2026 roster would look like this
Slavkosky Suzuki caufield
Mishkov Necas Demidov
Laine hage Newhook
Anderson evans Gallagher
Defence
Hutson ekblad ( free agent)
Guhle Mailloux
Xhejaj struble

22 Nov 2024 05:23:17
With the season necas is having they'll not trade him. But if he does a not signing warning not a bad pitch but upped his trade value huge from a few months ago.

07 Jul 2024 00:48:21
Just read an article about WPG Ehlers.
That 2 main teams showing interest.
Carolina and NYI.
Just talked about trade with NYI
WPG
Ehlers
NYI
Pageau
Prospect
Draft pick.

If this is the case I would go after
Dufour
Or
Eiserman
Possibly Holmstrom.

Carolina trade would be tough.
WPG
Ehlers
CAR
Necas.
I don't think would work. Be nice but it's a no.

WPG would love Jarvis. But Carolina is not trading him.
Maybe Ehlers and McGoarty for Jarvis and Drury. But IDK.

07 Jul 2024 02:37:29
Pageau obviously doesn't worth since he's a cap dump and wouldn't waive for Winnipeg anyways.

They're not trading Eiserman and Dufour and Holmstrom are throw in, low value pieces that don't give Winnipeg anything they need.

Carolina isn't trading Jarvis and Necas is a lateral move basically for a player with only 2 years to UFA that will be more expensive than Ehlers next year.

07 Jul 2024 03:28:45
Personally I didn’t like the Pageau trade. Exactly what you said. Salary dump case scenario. Pageau is good, mostly defensive, which Jets already have Lowry and Namestnikov.
The Jets needs are a 2C and more help on defence. Preferably top 4D and RD.

07 Jul 2024 04:10:19
Agree. The only piece from the Islanders that makes sense is Pulock and I don't see that happening.

08 Jul 2024 16:01:26
gotta love these guys that presume a player won't waive a no trade. what is the basis of your argument? is it because you don't like Winnipeg?

06 Jul 2024 14:31:38
Carolina Trades
Necas

Winnipeg Trades
Ehlers


Makes sense to me for both teams.


Thoughts ?

06 Jul 2024 14:57:19
I don't think Chevy will use his best trade chip for two years of a player that is a lateral move and will be more expensive than Ehlers next year.

06 Jul 2024 15:49:44
I think WPG would have to add. But I also think Necas next contract would be higher than Ehlers. So as a financial standpoint, I think WPG would decline.
Even tho it would be nice addition for WPG.

05 Jul 2024 23:52:36
Carolina Hurricanes :
- Martin Necas

Winnipeg Jets :
- Nikolaj Ehlers

Sounds like the Canes are aggressively pursuing Ehlers.

06 Jul 2024 00:41:18
Winnipeg adds, necas is 5 years young, and also plays center. Ehlers is LW only, which is an actual need for carolina.

06 Jul 2024 01:04:24
I can't see Winnipeg just making a lateral move when they trade Ehlers. It's only 2 years of control for Necas and his next contract will certainly be more than Ehlers contract next year.

It just doesn't make sense for Winnipeg.

03 Jul 2024 21:25:38
Mtl- Anderson 33% retain dvorak

Car- kotkaniemi


Habs sign tarasenko 2year 13m

Anderson get a free start, at 3.8, if he bounce back could be a good depth forward for Carolina. Dvorak can sit in the 3c center

Habs give a last chance to kk, if don't pay out, buy him out next year at 900k a year for the next year 8 years, and free roster spot for younger on bottom 6 forward by trading Anderson.Tarasenko fill a need on the top 6 and will mentor demidov next year

Slaf-suzuki-tarasenko
Caufield -kk-dach
Armia-newhook-roy

03 Jul 2024 21:55:40
Detroit just signed Tarasenko - 2x$4.75M.

04 Jul 2024 00:01:15
I would do Matheson, Anderson, Dvorak
For kotkaniemi and Necas

04 Jul 2024 01:03:05
Habs decline. Absolutely zero interest in KK, but wish him well.

04 Jul 2024 02:02:18
I thought Montreal was getting offers of 1sts and top prospects all day every day for Anderson?

04 Jul 2024 16:44:26
memrusjo . the 1st and top projects were every leaf trade.

05 Jul 2024 23:24:39
Yeah last year Anderson value went down drastically butwith some retention, on a 3rd line, in the north/ south Carolina playstyle, pretty sure he could bounce back to a 15 goal 40 pts a year at 3.8 with some grit that's not that bad.

29 Jun 2024 04:02:43
Montreal trades with Carolina
Mtl sends Matheson
To Carolina for Necas (mtl signs him 7x 7.5 per)
Montreal trades with Columbus
Mtl sends Anderson and 3rd round
To Columbus for laine
1st line
Slavkosky Suzuki caufield
2nd
Demidov Necas laine
3rd
Roy dach Newhook
4th
Gallagher evans beck

Need more grit. Team looks good on paper, but not enough sandpaper. Really don't like that 2nd line. Love the 1st and 3rd. With Demidov, i don't see the need to any $8 million forwards. A top 6 of 1st line, then Dach, Newhook, Roy and Demidov ( well that's 7) looks like a really good top 6. Round out your role players, and grinders, this team will make noise soon. Just stay the course.

I know Demidov is not on roster in 24/ 25 season.

29 Jun 2024 05:36:31
Demidov is a year away from being able to play. I feel Carolina can get a better return for Necas. And you could probably get Laine for one of the defensive prospects in the the Hans system and a draft pick. Anderson is overpaid for sure, but he's also willing to throw the gloves down in a heartbeat and for a young team like the Habs that's invaluable.

29 Jun 2024 13:38:37
I don't think it's enough for Necas.

29 Jun 2024 16:12:34
I can see the Matheson trade.

I wouldn’t want Laine anywhere near my team though. I wouldn’t take him for futures.

Demidov is one year away though for suiting up in the NHL due to contractual status with the KHL.

30 Jun 2024 20:00:12
Matheson ain't getting you Necas. Carolina already has Slavin, Orlov and Skjei on LD aswell.

01 Jul 2024 23:54:09
Matheson for Necas not fair?
Matheson 62 points, 4.8 million per
Necas 53 points , rfa gonna be more money than Matheson

Skjei lead Carolina in points by a dman (47) he’s gone
Orlov had 26 points making 7.75 million
Slavin , can’t argue , solid dman!

Honestly if I’m habs I don’t even do that trade if he’s asking for more than 7- 7.5 per

27 Jun 2024 04:54:15
Carolina: necas. Chicago: Kaiser, 18th.

24 Jun 2024 19:58:56
The big rumour out here now is a deal around

Carolina: Necas

Nashville: Saros

For those who play fantasy this will massively increase both players value. Necas will get prime time offensive minutes beside Forsburg-O'Rielly and obviously Saros on a powerhouse Carolina team will be terrifying.

25 Jun 2024 03:18:14
Interesting swap. What's Andersen's status on Carolina? And Kochetkov for that matter too? Don't see Saros as a need for the Hurricanes unless they are getting rid of one of those guys. Maybe one of them going with Necas and another piece going with Saros?

25 Jun 2024 20:08:31
I’d assume Anderson will head to Nashville.

Winnipeg Jets
- Rutger McGroarty

Carolina Hurricanes
- Martin Necas


Winnipeg are rumored to be shopping McGroarty, he wants NHL playing time and the Jets couldn't promise that.

Carolina has been shopping Necas and they're asking price is rumored to be high, but would the low cap ELC that McGroarty comes with along with his top 6 forward potential be enough?

23 Jun 2024 03:15:55
I like these two as the centerpieces. Just think Winnipeg has to add a pick or two.

23 Jun 2024 13:43:07
I actually suggest Rutger and a 1st for Necas on HFboards.

23 Jun 2024 15:34:30
I don't see Winnipeg targeting an RGA winger that has arb rights and is looking for a large raise.

It's more likely the Jets look for a comparable prospect or try to fill the hole at 2C or top 4 RHD even if they have to add.

23 Jun 2024 16:49:09
Unless McGroarty tells the Jets he won't sign with them I don't believe that he will be traded.

23 Jun 2024 17:30:27
The Winnipeg Jets are likely to trade former first-round pick Rutger McGroarty, a league source told The Athletic’s Murat Ates this weekend.

According to Ates, the University of Michigan star’s relationship with the Jets has deteriorated since the end of the NCAA season and he no longer believes his future is with the Jets.

Ates reports the Jets wanted to sign McGroarty to a professional contract this past April but were unwilling to promise the 20-year-old winger a path to playing time at the NHL level either that spring or the following fall in training camp. This meant that McGroarty could have been sent to the AHL instead of returning to Michigan to try and lead his team to a national title.

- posted from TSN.

If the Jets aren't ready to give him NHL ice time why would they hold onto him when his trade value is at an all time high?

Team needs that Marcus has mentioned include a top 6 winger and a top 4 defenseman preferably right handed.

Necas extension won't be higher than $7m and he's a versatile player who can play right wing or center.

But I guess we'll see on draft day.

24 Jun 2024 04:19:50
From what I've read Carolina wants top 6 forward for necas, not prospects or picks.

21 Jun 2024 19:15:43
Carolina Trades
Necas (RFA)

Columbus Trades
KJohnson



Thoughts ?

21 Jun 2024 22:34:57
Your gonna be looking at a good draft pick and a skilled player.

Or a straight 1 for 1 of necas for zegras.

22 Jun 2024 19:41:05
I actually like this deal.

It makes sense for Carolina needing Cap Space but because it's me posting it's not what the post is, it's who posted it.
No matter what I post it's always delusional and ridiculous.
Cheers.

To Van - Jack McBain 1.5 Million

To Utah - Ilya Mikheyev 4.75 Million, sharks 6th round pick

Van gets a big forward (perhaps a Joshua replacement). Utah gets speed/skill to their game.

Van trades Joshua rights, for rights to Guentzel from the hurricanes.

Van signs B Dillion (LD), resign Hronek, Zadorov, Myers, Silovs

If trade happens, van would have approximately 31.85 million in cap space. Also assuming the cap projection to be 87.675 total cap space.

Guentzle 9.5 Million
Hronek. 8 Million
Zadorov. 6 Million
Dillon. 4 Million
Myers. 2 Million
Silovs. 1.5 Million

17 Jun 2024 15:26:56
The UFA rights trade makes no sense, I don't think there's ever been a trade between teams for solely the UFA rights between 2 players.

And I think the reason Hronek hasn't been signed yet is Vancouver isn't willing to go as high as $8m, they want a # lower than Hughes AAV and Hronek has been rumored to be included in their attempts to trade Carolina for Necas.

I do like the Mikheyev trade though and I think Utah would pull the trigger on that if it was offered.

17 Jun 2024 18:42:57
Good comment!

I think Necas will stay in Carolina, based on his age, which makes Guentzle the odd man out. As for swapping negotiation rights, I feel it's an advantage to both sides if team won't be able to come to terms and specific team needs. Basically it avoids free agent frenzy and missing out or being out bid for a players services.

17 Jun 2024 20:02:33
Thanks Tuna! I think you're right about Guentzel, the early reports last month suggested that Carolina wanted to try to sign and keep Guentzel but I know I've read that the Hurricanes are open to trading his negotiating rights now.

I think the negotiating rights could be harder to acquire than just offering another free agents negotiating rights though, maybe at least a late round draft pick as well. For example, in the past Detroit has traded a 3rd round pick and the rights to Jonathan Bernier for the rights to Alex Nedjelkovic in 2021 and a 3rd round pick for the rights to Ville Husso in 2022.

Maybe if the Canes are interested in Joshua, his negotiating rights + their 2024 4th round pick would be the right trade value?
