Pu seems good however if I were the Canes I would've tried for one better piece than a few decent pieces

Sabres adding but still maintaining youth as Skinner is still young

He has a full NMC and reportedly already used it to nix a few other trades. Probably the best deal the Canes can get for one of the destinations he is willing to go to.

Why even trade him then? Good player. Still young. Why not keep him?

Well damn, he only cost poo, er..Pu, and some picks.

Secretly was hoping for Skinner in the canes deal but I'm also happy with lindholms potential.

Doesn't seem like great return to me. A bunch of stuff but not a single great piece.
Sabres forward group could be impressive.

He waived a full NMC for Buffalo?

He is UFA after this season, doesn't look like he want to re-sign in Carolina, and the owner wants a culture change.

Also note no salary going back to the Canes. Owner is penny pinching.

Honestly, I doubt the Hurricanes average 10k fans per night this year.

I honestly thought the Canes would go for it this year but I guess they are rebuilding again

I like this for Buffalo. Skinner is a stud and I like Pu as a prospect.

Are the canes planning on defending their way to wins this year?
