Nevermind I stand by what I said!! Boucher for HAYDEN Fleury.

Does that work for Carolina?

I need to be able to edit posts this is ridiculous .

You want the Hurricanes to trade away a top 10 pick blue chip defensive prospect for a 3rd line forward? Even if Boucher developed into a 20 goal guy there is absolutely no chance the Hurricanes are making that deal. Fluery is a very, very safe bet to be a cost controlled top 4 defenseman for quite a few years.

Devils can add.

I think a deal involving him has to be a 1 for 1 swap, similar pedigree goal scorer who is a year or two away from starting his NHL career. Otherwise the Canes allow him to come along slowly and slot him in their top 4 down the road.

Guys like Ryan Murphy or Trevor Carrick may interest New Jersey to add some offensive spark to their blueline and would come much more cheaply.

Without taking the proposal into account, there is no safe bet to become a top 4 dman.

I can list several with just as much potential and pedigree that busted.

Also, Boucher may make the NHL as 3rd liner, or he might do really well in Europe.

Of course not no guarantees....but if you draft a dman at 7 and he is not showing any red flags or glaring issues, you can't trade him away for a guy like Boucher. The Canes do have the luxury of being able to miss on a few guys, they have an incredible stable of under 24 yr old d-men. They are lacking in high end scoring ability.

Drew Stafford from Winnipeg. Gets you 20 goals and if don't want to sign him can probably flip him at the deadline. Not sure what I'd want tho. Needs = LHD but would be ok with a 2017 2nd and 4th

Wouldn't mind trying to pry Tanner Pearson out of LA. He would fit in good with the young rebuilding Canes.

would Arizona ever deal Duclair for help on defense? he seems like an ideal Canes player and they've got a lot of forwards coming up.
