Value of: Brett Pesce

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Oh wait I know I know, yeah, Peterka isn't being traded for a 2nd pair D.

Maybe it’s that the Canes aren’t trading a defenseman who played the most ES minutes, against the toughest competition, on one of the better defensive teams in the league for a 3rd line 30 point forward.

See how easy it is to make generalities like that?

Orlov signing makes it less likely Pesce is traded and more likely he's kept long term in Carolina. Orlov perfect bridge to Nikishin and locks up the left side top 4 for the foreseeable future. Skjei likely out and Canes RHD future is much more murky if Pesce isn't kept -- Burns has 2 more years and playing great but is old and not likely to stay/be as effective past that contract. Morrow is a decent prospect but a question mark, Chatfield is solid but projects as a 4D at best. The choice was going to be between Skjei and Pesce longer term and the Orlov signing signals Pesce.

Buffalo let's do Pesce for Peterka.

The value is there. BUT -- with Buffalo signing Clifton and EJ.........I'm wondering if Adams is done upgrading the RHD. ALSO -- with Quinn's injury, Peterka is less likely to go anywhere this year.

That's way too big of a trade for a Carolina team that went to the ECF and is looking to tweak some small improvement into a group they like.

Pesce and a 2nd (or similar) for Nylander is probably the only offer there is to consider from the Canes end.

If i was BT i would make that trade. Leafs can use cap savings and sign bertuzzi. Bertuzzi and pesce is better than just nylander i think most would agree.

Wins all around in that scenario.
