Who’s giving a top 6 forward away for Pesce or Faulk?

There isn’t any options I can think of.

Brendan Saad is about all I can think of. Any other team isn’t going to want to trade a 22 year top 6 old for Faulk or Pesce.

Hence why it would have to be a package.

Because Max and the old kook Princess don’t like him?

Well then, with their pedigree that's exactly what should happen.

Is Pesce a good defenceman? I don't watch the Hurricanes enough to form a legitimate opinion.
- BetterCallSaul


Nothing about him will blow you away, but he's real good at breaking up plays and getting the puck turned up the ice again. Really smart D man for a guy who doesn't have a lot of natural skill.

he seems to swap between LD and RD too so there's some flexibility as well

Basically. He can play with anyone and can eat up lots of minutes if need be.

Typically sticks to RD but they moved him to the left side a bit because they wanted Dougie and Slavin together vs. Calgary's big line and they don't trust TVR to play his offside without Hamilton covering for him.
