no deal. Straight up. Player for player. The Flyers are taking on a player who will want money and term that the Canes don't want. Farabee comes to them with term and a manageable cost.
Carolina probably isn''t a good match for this trade. They want defensive help since they are going to lose a guy or two o n the back end this off season.
I agree that Carolina probably doesn't match up with what we want to give, here. They're desperately in need of cap space, and we aren't looking to give up lottery picks, and aren't in a place to be taking back dead salary along with Necas.
That said, I don't think we should be moving Farabee, either, we should be looking to move TK for a second lottery pick, since I don't see someone offering us a promising young center prospect for him. If we have to go a year without entirely figuring out the center position, well, it's not like we're going to be in the Cup Finals next year with the roster we have anyway. Take the time to get it right, don't just rush into whatever "opportunity" happens to exist this year.
Edit: I do think we are suddenly a lot more interesting to Carolina if Guentzel tells them he's not coming back. If that were to come to pass, Konecny might look very appealing to them as a backup plan.
