[Trade] Panthers trade Vincent Trocheck to Hurricanes for Erik Haula, Lucas Wallmark, Chase Priskie, Eetu Luostarinen

Odd move as Panthers are in the mix for that last spot in the Atlantic. After seeing the leafs lose to a zamboni driver I was sure Florida would be thinking to bolster their lineup rather than trade what is considered their Bo Horvat on the team. 

They need forward depth, so the deal might help both teams.

Now seeing the full return on this trade, I can see why Florida would do it. They've been needing help defensively and they are bolstering their bottom 6 by adding Wallmark. Haula is a minor downgrade to Trocheck. Priskie may be an upgrade on Weegar at least offensively and with Ekblad and Stralman on the right side, they could use a but more offense there. Eetu is just an additional prospect center they can work with. So they added 3 centers and an RD.

 

Trocheck really only had one solid year of 75 points. Otherwise he's been a 50-55 point guy who now has a risk of an injury history. Carolina does need a bit of a boost on the offense with a top 6 forward though.
