Great game by the Canes even with the loss. In response to the trade proposed. As a Canes fan it certainly is intriguing given how our centers have stepped(we can ignore Rask last night). Only issue is you're taking our number 1 center(arguably best forward, captain, etc.), number 1 def, and number 1 goalie for essentially spare parts and guys that have been rumored in trades all year(Eberle/Marcinin would be my pick, btw). What I'd be curious about is what you would offer for each individually pretending two of those guys don't have NTC in their contracts of course. i also don't think you get a bottom 6 guy in that trade not enough grit. Other issue is J Staal.

The whole point of the trade for CAR is they get a young 1st line winger, a young dmen who could be a top 4 Dmen or better or worst, still out on him. I love him Marty that is. and you get 2 1st round picks and better chance of landing one of the top guys in the draft if not both, its full lotto for all teams out of the playoffs. I dont even think the oilers will make it if they did the trade. I just think it would make them a better team, to build on the younger players for next year. Has for you guys taking back cap or Fasth and Niktin, that just has to do with numbers. The question is, are the Canes rebuilding, or retooling?
