Perhaps they want a 60 point scorer at the age of 20 that will make around 2.5M max until he becomes an RFA?

You'll know when you go
If pick becomes a 60 point scorer at 20 he'll be making far more than 2.5M a year. Probably more than 4.5M a year. You can't just sign players off ELCs with that production for nothing.

Because those are the only conditions under which a team would bother to trade the 1st overall.

Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
So, when asked of who of the new GMs will have the hardest time, RF was picked to most likely miss the playoffs. McDavid to Carolina 2015

Well these are teams that are picking around us, and as of today we don't look any better than we did last season. No reason yet to assume we'll be better than anyone. We've picked 6th and 7th deservedly, after trading the year before (8th?). We'd like to think were better than Calgary but we'll have to go actually do it. I'm not sure we're better than Vancouver yet, we should be but agains have to earn. The off season is young of course, a lot of time for positive additions, but as of today...
We are not a good hockey team.

Let's be honest. Canes need to have a lot of things come together to be better. Semin, Staal, Staal, Skinner, Faulk, Sekera all have to have good seasons. Goalies have to play well and stay healthy. And they can't get into any long losing funks.
Is it possible? sure it is, but there isn't a lot of margin for error.

Francis says Canes are in talks with Tlusty. Will qualify him.
Good.

#Canes with free agency looming, Francis said they are looking to improve the fourth line and add defensive depth.
Chip Alexander @ice_chip 35s
Francis again says Canes won't use buyout.
Chip Alexander @ice_chip 44s
Francis says Malhotra, Bellemore and Peters will go into free agency.

What does he think the third line is then?
We have a perfectly good 4th line in house with McGinn-Nash-Dwyer.
What we need is a two-way 3RW with size and hands to play with Gerbe and Lokti (should we retain him). Kulemin or Setoguchi would be perfect here for that.

Bellemore better be brought back, dammit.

I guess if we aren't keeping Bellemore, Murphy will crack the squad. That would seem to be an indicator of that.

Maybe Bellemore was asking for a bit more than he was worth. Maybe he'll test free agency and take a low ball offer later. It would be too bad to lose a player who worked his way up through the system but it's not like he isnt easily replaceable as a 3rd pairing dman.

Francis said the "plan" was to go into next season with Khudobin, Ward as the Canes' two goalies.
Really no reason not to trade Cam for a bag of pucks and bring Peters back. Peters was much better last year and costs like 20% as much, at the absolute most.

No takers I guess. At least he's not doing everything to offload Ward.

The problem being that there probably isn't a team willing to part with a bag of pucks for Ward right now.

Sounds like it. It really would open up so many doors if they could move him though.
