I’m a little dubious of Carolina as a serious Cup threat, and the reason for that is that I don’t feel that they have the game-breaking offensive talent to go all the way. Aho and Svechnikov are great all-around players, but I don’t think either is the type of guy who is going to create something out of nothing and win a game despite the team not playing well overall. I see Carolina as a team who wins most of the time when they’re playing well but never wins if they aren’t, whereas having a player like Jack Hughes means even if you play like crap most of the game, he could still win it for you with a couple of good shifts. Just my take, but seeking a true game-breaking talent is just about the only reason I can see Carolina as a serious candidate to trade for Karlsson.I’d feel a lot more confident if they land Hellebuyck or another upgrade in net but agreed, it’s gonna come down to them and Carolina in the east.
