Really like the de Haan signing. Left handed shot which the Canes needed. Writing is on the wall that the Canes will move Faulk. Bean probably spends the season in the AHL. Canes D will be Slavin/Hamilton/Pesce/De Haan/Van Reimsdyk/Fleury.
Trade really was Thompson, 1st round pick, and 2nd round pick for ROR...the other players were just throw in's. I think it is fair value.
Kudos to Buffalo on managing to not retain any ROR money in this trade.
