Well, new to Carolina.
Only "kind of". He's been President of Hockey Operations since 2014 in Carolina and a prior GM. Your post implied that you hoped Chayka would be able to take advantage of some new GM that didn't know what he was doing. That clearly doesn't fit Waddell.
What about a framework of Ryan O'Reilly?

Lindholm

My apologies - you know I thought it was Waddell that recently said that the Canes needed a major shakeup and that the either the players needed to get tougher or tougher players needed to be brought in. Hence my comment regarding Chayka.
It clearly wasn't.
Canes would do that in a heartbeat. Buffalo wouldn't.
This would've been my original ask, but I'm thinking it's too much?

I don't think it's that much too much, maybe a little. Some Canes fans will say **** no! And I suspect some Sabre's fans will say **** no!
I think it's a pretty big overpayment as a neutral fan. ROR is a very good player, but his contract will hurt his value a bit IMO and the difference between he and Lindholm is not a 1st and a good defensive prospect.I don't think it's that much too much, maybe a little.
