Dammit...after all the research I've done on these prospects, they better not trade away the pick!

Im still confused about the Pesce Marino swap for us
Pesce would be the best defender we have, yes; but hes older, will cost more, and was recently injured
Got to imagine its a fair deal... but then why wouldnt Carolina sign him or he wouldnt test free agency?
Im wondering if this also means we have a specific asset in mind for Marino's trade return - only way this makes sense to me outside of making moves just to shake things up

The Canucks have Hronek and Myers and then Juulsen,Woo and Filip Johansson for the last 2 RD spots...why would they take Marino's contract its not like the Canucks have a ton of Cap space
I’m okay with trading the pick. I am not okay with trading the pick for Marin Necas or a similar move that seems like Fitz is trading the pick just for the sake of trading the pick.

They probably do, like it was with Hamilton
Would seem New Jersey is actually a destination now

Only thing I can come up with is they want more of a Defensive Defensemen to attached to Luke. Feeling that from a puck moving stand point with Luke Simon Dougie and Casey in the future they need stronger defensive guys in the other spots.
They feel that Pesce is a stronger defender the Marino. That's my best guess.
Youngish RHD with term will be attractive to teams.
Here's a list for the top consensus forwards, in my estimation:
Ready now: Celebrini
Maybe One Year Away: Demidov, Helenius, Nygard, Chernyshov
Maybe Two Years Away: Catton, Lindstrom, Beaudoin
Probably Three Years Away or More: Iginla, Sennecke, Hage, Eiserman
I'd love to get alternate takes on this from @Guadana and @evnted
Different times, that’s when they had the free agent interview period which is now gone and Carolina gave him permission to seek different teams for free agency

I’m wondering with how early and confidently it came out if Pesce was the one that really wanted to come here. Maybe/hopefully he really wanted to come here to live in the area, be close to family, liked where the teams at. If that was communicated to the devils and they agreed to a deal that’s good for the devils than you’re bringing a reasonably priced UFA in and trading the guy he’s replacing for assets or help elsewhere it kind of makes sense.
If it was Fitz pushing for him and he’s paying around the projections I’ll be a bit disappointed.

I don’t see Iginla being that far away.
But it happens behind the scenes. Carolina must have given permission for it to be getting reported like this
You upgrade on defense and you gain free assets. How are you confused?

I would give 2-3 years to Chernyshov. And what kind of "ready" we are talking about?

How long before the Canes start whining about this the way the Pens whined about Sullivan?

Nico, Mercer and the Hughes brothers might have been the only picks where they took the same guy I wanted. So I usually end up being disappointed with the picks. Sometimes it still works out, like with Nemec or even Mukhamadullin who was a big part of bringing Timo here.

Being convinced trading the pick would constitute a nightmare before even seeing what we get is just as inflexible as not wanting to trade the pick under any circumstances tbh

I m scary for every twitter post.
Im afraid i will see "huuuuuweeee we traded 10OA pick for complimentary winger without any defensive abilities but he can score 20 goooooooals!!!! Proven talent, win right now!!!!" post.
because 10OA + Holtz + Casey for Brady or some other really deserving talent is less realistic twitter post I can have from this universe.
