That's highly debatable. It's close either way but I'll take Spooner.
In what alternate universe ????
2nd pairing 22 year old defenseman >>>> 20 year old 3rd line RWThat's highly debatable. It's close either way but I'll take Spooner.

If the Bruins ever get offered Slavin for Pasta straight up they should take it and run.

<30 points playing 7th most minutes Ev and an insignificant amount on special teams; sure sounds like a 3rd liner
I know he's young and can obviously improve but so is/can Slavin(who played #3 minutes last year ahead of even Hanifin).

Let's put it this way, some canes fan think Slavin will be THE guy in the coming years for our defense. That says a lot when we have Faulk, Hanifin, Fleury, etc. In his rookie year, he just had IT, a well rounded Dman who can play 2nd to 1st pair time and not look out of place.

But at the same time a lot of Bruin fans think that Pastrnak will be THE GUY in a few years for our offense. I'm not putting down Slavin at all it's just that I'm really high on Pastrnak.

Not interested in trading Slavin for much of anything right now. He's too good, too young, too cheap. If Pastrnak turns into something like a 25-goal scorer next season, then we can talk.

I'm a bad troll...
Slavin is the most untouchable piece on the Canes for me. Followed closely by Aho and Hanifin. Easy no to OP.
Slavin is the next Josi/Brodie. Most fans won't know much about him and all of a sudden in a couple years he will be a top-15 D in the NHL. He starts the season on the 1st pair next to Faulk, pay attention to him the next time your team plays the Canes and you will see why.

This thread once again shows people know nothing about Carolina. Slavin is damn good, better (by quite a bit) than Pastarnak in vacuum and especially if you consider the positions these two play. Canes would need to be dumb beyond belief to consider this.
Not to derail things here but if the B's called the Canes it would probably be about Faulk. we have a fair amount of good LHD in the system about to come in Zboril, Lauzon, O'gara. Gryzcelyk... but the cupboard on the right side isn't as stocked.... McAvoy, Carlo.....
what would it take to pry Faulk out of there?

Canes don't have the RD depth to ship Faulk out, but it would take a young, established #1C.
Bruins take this and run. What a fantastic proposal. You should give Sweeney a call just in case he hasn't thought about this one already
From one New Englander to another, you can't get there from here...well, the B's can but it would require them to figure out how to get an elite under-25 1C from someone else to offer the Canes for Faulk.
So, unless they've got one stashed somewhere I don't know about...they're at-least one other trade away from making a credible Faulk offer.
The Canes would also need to find another top-4 RHD capable of playing top-pair minutes (top-pair time, not necessarily top-pair quality)...so they're also one trade away from doing this.
the canes respectfully say "no thank you"
the bruins say "would you like to counter?"
the canes say "the original offer was too far apart for us to consider countering"
the bruins say "oh, ok, well thank you, have a nice day!"
the canes say "you too!"
they hang up
