Trade rumors popping up in other places as well.

If E. Staal is available, I'd imagine that other highly valuable players would be as well.

Figured I'd add this, based on the same thing and earlier reports. 

 

 

 Darren Dreger: The asking price for Eric Staal would be enormous. The Leafs and Hurricanes have talked in the past. Would cost them a first round pick, either Tyler Bozak or Nazem Kadri and likely Jake Gardiner. Dreger thinks the Leafs would pay that.Bob McKenzie: Staal likes playing with his brother and has a no-movement clause. A trade would only happen if he wants it to happen. Sames goes for Jordan Staal and Cam Ward.

TORONTO - Eric Staal is apparently willing to waive his no-trade arrangement for a deal that would land him with the Maple Leafs.

The question is: Have the Carolina Hurricanes reached the point in which they are willing to trade their best and highest-paid player as part of both a salary dump and the beginning of a possible rebuild?

I don't see how this one doesn't get done, Staal wants it and the Leafs want it to get done. Does J. Staal gets traded as well and to which team. 

 

 

Only really other possibilities is Semin (not likely, don't think he's worth much.) Ward (high price, might be worth something though to someone.)

 

 

 

Then maybe Skinner because of injury issues...

Just adding to the fire sale rumors circling the team right now. Seen some reports that the Staals would be traded together as a packaged deal of some sort to the same team. (only a few teams able to take the cap hit) Also Andrej Sekera is likely to be moved as well.  Jeff Skinner is also highly probably to be moved if a good deal surfaces for him. Some of these rumors have been swirling for a while, this season would be a good time to sale off and build for the future with picks and talent. 

 

 

 

 

Should be an exciting season even with a bad team.

I've heard about Sekera to Philly.  It would take a massive trade for someone to acquire Skinner.  He's seen by most as our biggest young talent.

No lie, last year I traded both Staals together to Colorado in NHL 13. Got Duchene and Stastny in return. It was much better for the cap :P

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
