Maybe Fox does sign in Carolina, maybe Cliff Pu has an impact at some point. But right now those trades look absolutely terrible for the Canes.

The Skinner trade sucked but apparently he wanted out and blocked multiple trades in the summer with his NMC. The Flames trade is a win for Calgary but has potential to be a win for Carolina. Dougie sucking is not new he was always a second half player in his time here. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gets his 40pts by the end of the year. Ferland is unfortunate as he was definitely performing well for the Canes. They may retain him moving forward and there was always risk with that but these head injuries make it even riskier. Fox imo is going to sign this summer. He just was not going to come to western Canada if that was his option. If he walks, Dougie doesn’t improve, and Ferland walks or is overpaid it will be a disaster trade for the Canes.
In the world we live in today where all the talk is “what have you done for me lately” the Flames crushed that trade.
