<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hotNreadyWings</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KEEPVTWIERD</b></div><div>Deal 1:

Hurricanes - Top RW in Connor Brown

Maple Leafs - Good Backup in Eddie Lack (Just in case Andersen goes down)

Deal 2:

Hurricanes - Top Center in JG Pageau

Senators - Decent Prospect and Top Pick in 2019

Deal 3:

Hurricanes - Top Goalie in Petr Mrazek

Red Wings - Get rid of Franzen finally!!!

Deal 4:

Hurricanes - Get a younger D-man for a only $650,000 a year in DeMelo.

Sharks - Gear up for their last and only hope for a playoff run in Dahlbeck.</div></div>

To be coy with you. None of these make much sense for the canes. Yes they're looking for a top center and offensive help. No connor brown and pageau are not that. They got their starter when they signed darling so Mrazek makes no sense. That defense is stacked. So streit is completely unnecessary. And a rebuild is the exact opposite what the canes need. They have done an outstanding job collecting top end defensman. Went out and got their starting goalie. And now just need a minor tweak to the offense to make them a very serious contender.</div></div>

Pageau is a Top Center and Brown is a 20 goal scorer. I signed Streit because he is a great signing if you have almost $11 million in cap space and not many top end players like Thornton, Hanzal, or Radulov want to join a rebuilding team. Also sure Darling can be a starter for a year or two but then what you have a backup as your starter that's where Mrazek comes in (Nedeljkovic will need more than 2 years to become a starter).
