Rumor: Carolina looking to add top 6-9 forward

[Draiskull]

Any Faulk trade will be quality for quality. Top-20 D for a Top-20 Forward. RNH doesn't cut it here. For reference, the only player the Canes direct media (John Forslund) has off-the-cuff suggested in a Faulk deal would be Malkin. In Edmonton's case, Hall would be the centerpiece.

Hall + Eberle
for
Faulk + Aho

Eberle is a top 10 RW. RNH is a top 20C.

 

[JT Kreider]

Eberle is a top 10 RW. RNH is a top 20C.

And top 10 RW and top 20 C's are always available for trades, and they don't have to give up a young top 20 defenseman in return.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Oilers will throw in Yakupov as well.

He said a top 9 forward.

 

[YP44]

Dwight King can be had cheap. $1.9 for another year. Versatile and can easily play top 9 minutes. Kings need to shed that salary and his name has been brought up in trade rumors.

was thinking King

 

[Smif]

Come visit the TML bargain bin where 6-9 forwards are half price.

Today only.

Hall + Eberle
for
Faulk + Aho

Aho is completely untouchable. Substitute him with a different forward prospect (not named Gauthier or Kuokkanen) or a 2017 2nd and that is a fine deal.

 

[GoldiFox]

Eberle is a top 10 RW. RNH is a top 20C.

What does that have to do with this? I said a top-20 Forward. Neither Eberle or RNH is close to being that. I consider Hall a top-20 forward.

Hall + Eberle

Faulk + Aho

I literally spit out my water when I read this. I can't even believe this was a serious post.

on top of the bad value in player IMO, thats a swap of 12 mil in salary vs 5.75 mil in salary the next three years

 

[ScottyFreakinUpshall]

Would love to see Carolina take a flyer on Conacher.... Had a good season out in Europe, and is fast as hell...Plus could come cheap and dumped if needed.

Bailey of any interest?

 

[SabresSharks]

These offers will have Ron Francis drooling. /s

Faulk + Lindholm for Hall and Eberle?

Hall//Rask//???
Skinner//Staal//Eberle
Teraväinen//Aho//Nordström
Nestrasil//McClemment//Bickell
PDG

That's not terrible imo

 

[Big Easy]

If the Leafs sign Stamkos, Bozak might as well start looking for a place near Raleigh.

That's not terrible imo

Carolina gets no better at center and actually trades away a potential long term top-6 one along with the best piece in the deal.

 

[Agalloch]

Desharnais for a 6th round pick ! (2022)

 

[Morguee]

Eric Staal?

 

[Szechwan]

As an actual answer, Hansen from Van would be a good pickup. Great 3rd liner, can fill in on the 2nd without issue, good on the forecheck and a hard worker for the kids to look up to.

That's not terrible imo

Faulk for Hall is while not ideal, at least somewhat fair, but ... Lindholm for Eberle? Yeah, that's pretty terrible.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Sounds a whole lot like Stanley Cup winner Chris Kunitz to me!

 

[HoseEmDown]

Filppula + conditional 4th ( becomes a 3rd if he doesn't hit 40 points) for McClement?

 

[Alex Mills]

Aside from Lindholm and Nash, they’re really lacking in right-handed shooters up front. And they have tons of cap space with no key free agents to extend this summer or next besides Rask. There are a few UFAs out there that could be a fit like Connolly, Okposo, Parenteau, Purcell, Stempniak, Vrbata, etc. There are also a few trade candidates like Read, Stafford and Wingels. Others like Pominville or Dustin Brown could be tougher deals to negotiate with NMCs/NTCs and salary retention.
