I'd take Staal, if the Canes ate some of the caphit and/or the 2nd overall was involved.
Skinner is unlikely as Peters didn't seem to be a big fan on him, or at least that's what Canes fans surmised based on Peters' usage of Skinner.
Unlikely that the Canes would trade one of their young left shot defensemen, but getting a Slavin or Pesce would be a real coup. Would probably need to involve Hamilton though. Probably a Hamilton for Pesce and Staal type deal where the Flames are "helping" the Canes out by taking Staal's caphit.
Monahan, Staal, Backlund, Jankowski is a Nashville PRedators type centre ice depth. No huge starts but solid 1 through 4.
