Description

Trades: All these seems very possible if they truly commit to a rebuild. ( I don't think they will but still a fun exercise)

UFAs :
Stolarz is a safe option to help Hofer transition into the starter role. No reason to have Zherenko up as well with Hofer.
I don't want Kapanen back either but if they want to tank, another year at a Mil wouldn't hurt anything.

Stenlund: Fun 4th liner on a prove it deal.

Trades

STL

Stramel, Charlie [Reserve List]
2024 1st round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

don't worry too much on the team I picked/prospect it's more so I just want a 2024 1st and A/B level prospect.

MIN

Buchnevich, Pavel

Additional Details:

I wouldn't go longer than five years on an extension offer. If he wants more years, then trade him.

STL

2024 3rd round pick (DET)
2025 3rd round pick (DET)

DET

Saad, Brandon

Additional Details:

Any team that wants to be competitive next year should consider trading for this guy. Auto 20 goals and defensively responsible. perfect depth winger.

STL

Heimosalmi, Aleksi
2024 1st round pick (CAR)
2024 3rd round pick (CAR)

Additional Details:

don't worry too much on the prospect. idk anything about prospects. just want a 1st and a good prospect back. not sure how they make the cap work but it would be fun to see Binner on Carolina.

CAR

Binnington, Jordan

Additional Details:

This trade would hurt the most just personally as a fan but if they truly want to tank it has to happen. He's way better than ppl give him credit for.

If they were to tank I agree that these guys make the most sense. Maybe doing like a Krug trade w retention too if possible? Ik that contract is virtually unmovable but....

Binner is a good goalie but also not such an upgrade on Andersen that the Canes should spend their 1st and send a prospect, doubly so since he makes more than the two current goalies on the Canes combined

They don't. And it's very not necessary to the point of being a terrible idea. And the franchise can't afford it anyway.

He’s objectively way better than any goalie on Carolina. Masterclass performance by Andersen tonight btw. You’d be lucky to have a goalie half as good as Binnington on your team
