LeBrun today mentioned that he is 'hearing that Seattle, Toronto and Carolina are among several teams who have chatted with San Jose about Erik Karlsson".
I can't at all picture how that type of trade would look for the Canes. Almost certainly Brady Skjei would need to go, which would either leave us another hole to fill with a LHD that can actually defend OR the prospect of playing Slavin more than 30 minutes a game.
Obviously a TDA move doesn't happen if the Canes somehow end up with Karlsson. Hopefully the Canes brain trust do realize that we can't entirely fix our lack of goalscoring by just adding more goal scoring Dmen.
I'm chalking this up to the Canes 'being in on everything' and don't expect anything to come of it.
