Ferland broke out this year, Fox is a top prospect and Hamilton is a top right hand d.

I have the complete opposite take away here.

Guess you're in the minority then lol. Everybody crying that Carolina got robbed, Canes fans are irate from the ones i've talked to and see commenting on the trade.

Yeah, I'm with you. Lindholm hasn't been great at all, which is tough because Carolina doesn't have a lot of forward talent to insulate players with but hasn't be exceptional at all. Big win for Carolina.

I see that and I don’t get it. I like Hanifin, but neither he or Lindholm lived up to their potential yet.

Carolina now has Hamilton, Pesce, Faulk and Van Riemsdyk down the right side. Guess they will be making more moves.

I think Faulk was always going to be trade bait. He'll garner a big return.

Faulk will almost certainly be moved now

Wonder if they can bring back a goalie and 2C for him. If they do look out.

Colorado flips Grubauer as part of a package? I could see it.

Gotta assume both Faulk and Skinner will be moved soon, or atleast sometime this summer so i think they'll get some good return on both guys

People said maroon was seen packing up on Instagram and said bye, but they didn't say if it was from nj or Edmonton or just moving house

I wouldn’t mind seeing him back, but he is probably going to get more $$ and term than he is worth to the Devils. We are mighty crowded at 3rd/4th line forward.

I like what he did in front of the net especially on the PP, an aspect of the game we didn't have effectively prior.

Sounds like patches has been traded to San Jose

Problem is that he produces like a 2nd liner but doesn't have the foot speed to compete in that area consistently. He is actually one of the few guys that I would want in front of net on a power play. Pretty atypical player in today's league and there are GMs out there that are going to pay for size coupled with offensive production.

it would be great if we were one of the teams talking to the Preds. Not many players I wouldn't give up in a trade for one of their top 4 dmen.

Ekholm would look nice on the left side of Vatanen. 4 years left at 3.75. It wouldn't give us a true top d-pair (no Doughty or Hedman, etc), but it would be a LOT better than what we'll be rolling out otherwise.

Ekholm-Vatanen
Greene-Severson
Butcher-Santini

Lovejoy and Mueller healthy scratches.
That right there is SO much more competent of a defense than what we're set to start with right now

The fact that Shero did nothing during the draft makes you wonder what he has up his sleeve. Some player that no one even thought was available and their team is against the cap.

With the cap raising so much most teams will be fine to re-sign their rfa's and others have room to make big pitches to ufa's and this ufa class is a little underwelming as it appears caps will keep Carlson after trading orpik and I believe tavaras stays

I don't think shero wants to mortgage the future and we don't have the pieces for a major trade

Still another week of major offseason... July 2 is about when we will get to grade his performance.

Maybe nothing is up his sleeve.

Last year was a nice step forward but team is still rebuilding.

He made some good picks. Maybe he is going the slow and steady route until a steal-of-a-deal comes up. No sense on shaking up the team via trade after an amazing year.
