Pierre LeBrun (whose source in CAR is GM Don Waddell) was on TSN1040 yesterday saying the Hurricanes could have interest in doing a trade of Kapanen + Zaitsev for Pesce/Hamilton/Faulk after Zaitsev's signing bonus is paid. I'm not sure Tulsky would let Waddell take Zaitsev back— Editor in J (@Account4hockey) June 4, 2019

I know! Which one would you want?
Quote from: Bender on June 04, 2019, 03:01:40 PMI know! Which one would you want? My personal rankings would be Pesce, Hamilton, Faulk. Not considering contracts, the gaps between all 3 isn't very big I don't think. But Pesce having 5 years left at a great AAV gives him a huge boost, while Faulk being a year away from UFA of course does the opposite.
Throwing in Kappy to dump Zaitsev is a lot to pay for Pesce imo. I watched him play and I wasn't thinking, man would love to have him on our team. I have no issue giving up a prospect but Kappy isn't the one.

I have no issue giving up a prospect but Kappy isn't the one.How would you feel about a Kapanen for Pesce trade straight up? Because that'd be highway robbery for the Leafs, especially when you consider Pesce's sweetheart contract.
I'm probably wrong but a top 6 forward for a 2nd pair D man? I think it would be a good deal for both teams. Maybe we'd have to add a pick. I don't see it as robbery for the Leafs.
I guess my big objection when looking at that deal is that I don't like the idea of dumping Zaitsev for literally nothing. Yes we don't like his contract but he is still a serviceable RHD man. They're valuable and he played well with Muzz. Is Pesce that much of an upgrade on Zaitsev? Their contracts aren't that different.
Thx Busta. Appreciate the insight. I would only say that you are calling Kappy a 3rd line guy, but the reality was he played in our top 6, so we'll call him that in trade talks with other teams, lol. Nylander maybe our 3rd lline centre if Kadri is gone so Kappy would remain top 6..
