No rumors linking the Canes, just posting for discussion. Sounds like Eichel is on his way out of Buffalo. To me, this is the type of move we need to make to take the next step. Eichel is a point per game center and was the captain of an admittedly underachieving team. 

We're most likely losing Dougie, and Eichel could effectively replace Trocheck. From a salary perspective it would be a pretty even swap. So then you can weigh the cost to acquire. I would offer up 1st + Trocheck + Skjei + Ryan Suzuki. Possibly swap Skjei for another 1st if needed. Something along those lines. 

Thoughts?

Those are some interesting trade swaps that just might succeed. Like always,salaries would be paramount in any trade or swap.

His injury concerns me and I'm not sure his contract makes sense for us. Phenomenal player and having 1a and 1b centers of Eichel and Aho would be insane. But I'd rather we just stay the course and develop our own prospects/young players and continue to make shrewd deals like the Trocheck and Nino deals.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      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.
