Thread: Going after Pesce and Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Carolina has a bunch of good prospects and one could argue are a bit crowded.

I would either want picks for Necas to use in another deal to maybe bring in a blue liner

Or I would look to move Necas in a hockey trade. Kind of like what BUF and AVS did this TDL</div></div>

Our prospect pool is really thin at the one area where we really need reinforcements which is center... it's only Ryan Suzuki and a bunch of hope and prayers... I think Geekie makes a lot of sense for the Hurricanes both in the short term and the long term. Also having him on a ELC really relaxes the cap pressure that we'd be under assuming we're able to dump a couple of contracts
I think the blue line will be fine. Morrow, Slavin, Burns, and Orlov are all signed and Chatfield is probably coming back which means all we need is a third-pairing defensemen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>We can offer 8 years, he takes home more money on the 8th year alone. More Endorsement. Money here. Quality of teammates Is very arguable Vancouver has gone further than Canes this year. His wife had said they'd prefer to stay in Canada with their child being due in the fall it makes things more complicated to move to the us. His wife also loves the city, city Is also nicer. Lindholm has played in Canada for years he can handle media pressure. In reality he makes more here, lives in a nicer city, both teams are in a competitive spot. family Is happy in current location. There really isn't a reason to leave</div></div>

Those are fair points but I would also argue that Carolina possibly will have more money to throw around to him to win a bidding war for him... they are gonna be desperate for a 2C while Vancouver is not
