The Canes are looking for a right-shot defenseman. At a decent price. This may be the guy.

 

Not the best numbers/stats this season but wouldn’t say no and let bean and fleury fight it out in the other spot. A little competition would def help fleury and probably Bean too.

He's been hurt this season, but he's not an offensive-minded D. He's physical and would provide a presence Dougie cannot, for some reason, figure out.

Look, right now everyone (Hamilton & Canes) is saying the right things, but if Hamilton wants $8M a year, he needs to find a physical part of his game that will have teams thinking twice about teeing off on Canes players. I'm not completely sold on Hamilton at that price.

I'm also beginning to think the team is looking at replacing TT. I'm increasingly concerned if he'll ever lace up the skates again.

Not a trade, but Lucas Wallmark got placed on waivers - he was an awesome fit with the Canes and could make sense for center depth. 

"Florida receives defenseman Lucas Carlsson and center Lucas Wallmark."

I'm onboard with the author that Manson isn't worth a first-round pick. If the choice is to give up a 1st round pick or give $8M to Dougie, unfortunate as it may seem, the second option I can live with.

And, I'm not sure, but the author also makes it sound like Fleury is the odd man out if Carolina does find another right hand blue liner.

That’s what I’ve read elsewhere too. I think it was NHL.com’s trade buzz.

I love that nobody voted for defense and only 2 votes for size/grit. Yet, here we are at the deadline looking for a big physical defensemen. 

[Harbingers]

Today’s the day boys. No moves yet. I’m wondering if we pulled fleury last game and moved up a defenseman to the taxi to keep fleury healthy and potentially deal him. 

[Harbingers]

I hear Columbus might be trying to deal Laine.

[Harbingers]

Damn we could have gotten Sami off waivers.

[Harbingers]

1.5 hours left. Really wonder if we are going to move at all.

Dallas claimed him.

Florida + TB keeps bulking up.

At this point just go after Laine but i don't think we have the cap space unless we LTIR TT.
