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

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
