Carolina is a team that has historically had an internal cap and with the Staals, Skinner, Ward, and Semin making so much money next season... they may need to dump cap.

With a relatively low budget compared to some teams, they may not be able to use a compliance buyout on a guy like Ruutu and still have money left over for other guys.

If Carolina gave us a 2nd round pick or even a 3rd round pick I would take Ruutu off their hands. 3yrs with AAV 4.75 million left.

edit: actually after reconsidering it, I am not sure Carolina would have to give us a pick, Ruutu should be had for a mid to late raound pick. Assuming he would waive his NMC.
