Everybody's talking Streit but I like another guy from the Isles, Matt Carkner. He's not "the answer" but he'd be great on the third pair. Can hit, block shots and fight and stands up for his guys. And he can play enough offense to keep up. If you remember Dave Karpa, he reminds me of that.

Bad idea, Carkner has bad knees. It's why Ottawa didnt re-sign him. Otherwise they loved him.

Short of an extended absence of Pitkanen, if you think the Canes will be addressing the D situation before the trade deadline, you're setting yourself up to be a pain in the ass on this forum for the next ~2 months.

To be fair, that's also what Panthers fans said about Allen. Are Carkner's knees worse?

Not sure if you guys are watching Ducks' games this year, but Bryan Allen seems REAL slow out there.

Their refusal to sign him at 2 years/1.5 per indicate to me that they probably are worse.

Allen's defensive skills are far superior to Carkner's as well. IMO.
