To Car
2024 1st UFA (Tor) Nick Blankenburg
To Tor
Drouin Frazer Minten
I was getting a bit less comfortable capwise after acquiring Theodore and wasn’t sure if Drouin would be a keeper. So when Dan came and made an offer, I was open, with some haggling over the D prospect he offered. I’m missing a first next year and Blankenburg offers some possibilities as a grad if he doesn’t get buried in the minors.
Thanks for the offer and easy negotiations.

Toronto does this because drouin is a great player, but a gamble on injury prone. But I have lots of cap room. Drouin when healthy is still easily 2 points for every 3 games. Minden is an early 2nd round pp from the draft we just had. He caught my eye then, but I went with another. Happy to have another Toronto player…. I’m trading a 2024 UFA 1st, and a strong prospect in Blankenberg. He is 24. Played college hockey, and tore it up there. I caught him by luck watching a game one weekend last season after the college year was over. Then he played (lw,rw,c,d). So I was really happy to get him off waivers for nothing. But soon after he joined the parent club, he committed to defense only. “I don’t need another defensemen”. He is a little small for defense too. But I have a good feeling about this guy. I didn’t want to give him up. But I’m getting a great return. Thank you Carolina!
