Interesting. So we apparently tried to trade for Elvis 4 years ago.
I hope not. A small lefty offensive defender with little defensive tendencies. A smaller version of beanIs Ty Smith in the Carolina Hurricanes future plans?
Don’t need to move him. He has a short contract for a reason.How do the Canes feel about Orlov this season? Do you need to move off his contract to keep younger players and resign Guentzel.
What do you view his trade value? Do you need to pay teams with cap space to take him?
Schmaltz hasn’t been a center in some timeI’m thinking of getting that 2C. Necas + KK to Utah for Schmaltz. Schmaltz plays on the PP and the PK, makes $5.8 per. He’s always in the top 6 averaging almost a point a game. He’s 28 years old. His drawback has been staying healthy. He is exactly what the Canes need…..PLUS, he was born and grew up in my home town, Madison, Wi. His dad and uncle ran a strength conditioning/power skating program on Monroe St. near Camp Randall Stadium. This was around 2000-01, as my son participated 2 summers in a row, when he was preparing for HS Hockey. Both Schmaltz dad’s were there for the duration and very approachable. The schmaltz boys were probably around 6-8 years old. I still remember them running around the place.
He's also a core player for them.Schmaltz hasn’t been a center in some time
No, we do not need or want to move him and we’re certainly not paying to do so. We are potentially already losing 4 of our top 7. We will not make it 5. He has just one more year under contract, anyway, and was overall pretty good for us.How do the Canes feel about Orlov this season? Do you need to move off his contract to keep younger players and resign Guentzel.

I mean I thought he was pretty good for what we brought him in to be this year, and it usually takes defensemen a while to adjust to our system. That said, there are some who are absolutely hell bent on trading him away in here.How do the Canes feel about Orlov this season?

He's also terrible in the dot, he's not at all physical (like < 20 hts/yr), he's not a play driver, he's not a big goal-scorer...he's not really worth anything close to NecasSchmaltz hasn’t been a center in some time
Please no. Necas for UFA rights? OuchHow about Necas and KK to Vancouver for a signed Lindholm?

Montreal wouldn't do it. Most of the pieces that would interest us are pieces that they wouldn't trade.Darren Dreger says Montreal is right up there with Vancouver with interest in Necas. Would David Reinbacher make sense? Idk if Montreal would do it or not but they have a few interesting pieces
I've looked at Montreal's roster and system a few times because I've seen them mentioned as having interest and I just can't find the right assets that we'd want and I think are realistic for Montreal to give.Darren Dreger says Montreal is right up there with Vancouver with interest in Necas.

Jiricek. Thats about it. Their young russian wingers would be kinds interesting but we need more.There's an article on the hockey news saying that Waddell should trade for Nachos for the Jackets. Any pieces they have of interest?
