Word out is that Carolina will be trading for a veteran d-man in the next few days because after Thursday's game, Ryan Murphy has to go back down to Kitchener.

Let the speculation begin...

Liles, White, Whitney, Komisarek, Tallinder, Gunnarsson, Niskanen, O'Byrne, Giordano, Regher, Hamrlik, Tyutin, Leopold, or Volchenkov, or Aucoin are all possibilities.

I actually think Nisky is a real possibility. My buddy is a Pens fan (from Pittsburgh, not just a bandwagon fan lol), and he and I talk about the Pens trading one or two of the d-men all the time. He thinks Niskanen or Bortuzzo are the two most likely to go. Niskanen would be a nice fit, and would be a BIG help to us.

Who all do we get back after Thursday? Are Pitkanen and Gleason both back? That'd be ideal. We need some solidarity at the position. Having 3 of your starting 6 hurt is never good.

No one knows what we are giving up yet because the guy that tweeted it didn't say what type of guy we're looking for. Just a vet depth (6th liner), top four guy, or a number one.

Gleason is likely to be back after today but Pitkanen and McBain are still a week plus away from returning.

The goal of this trade is probably to get a vet depth player that we can pair with Sanguinett.

Right now we have Faulk, Harrison, Corvo, Sanguinetti, Murphy, and Jordan...

By Friday, we should have Gleason, Faulk, Harrison, Corvo, Sanguinetti, vet D-Man.

Murphy back to Kitchener and Jordan back to Charlotte.

#Canes head coach Kirk Muller confirms Jeff Skinner, Tim Brent, Tim Gleason and Jamie McBain back in the lineup tonight vs. #Pens.

AWWWWW YEAH! Apparently Pitkanen is close to returning also.

      We signed Lloyd

      I don’t think we would spend that kind of money on a LB that can’t play all 3 downs. It said he played 331 coverage snaps last year and only gave up one TD so him not being a coverage LB seems kinda like BS?

      Moton should be back in 27 just due to the guarantees. I can't see us cutting him and eating that cap hit. Trade might be a bit different, but how many teams trade for 20m tackles?  I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 2 this year, 1 in the first and one in the 4th that has potential to play inside if they don't develop as quickly. Our line is awfully thin atm with the unknown injury Hunt got during the postseason. Even if Hunt's ok, we still lack depth. I could see is walking away from this draft with 2 tackles and a center, especially if we move down to pick up an extra 3rd or 4th.

      He was so up and down for 4 seasons. They declined his 5 year option for a reason  Oloukon has been their LB1.  Evero loves to send pressure so my guess is if Lloyd is going to be used a 3 down back here he’ll be blitzing on 3rd down a lot. Would’ve liked to have signed someone a lot quicker if that’s the case. Lloyd isn’t very explosive. Used to be
