To Winnipeg:
Brent Burns Alex Chiasson CAR7 2022
To Carolina: Kevin Shattenkirk Tyler Toffoli WPG4 2021
Felt I needed to make a move to add some talent on the wings to play on my top two lines. No good having Crosby and Tavares down the middle if they don't have anyone to play with. Only piece I really had to negotiate with was the beast Brent Burns. Toffoli will fit in nicely in the top 6 and getting Shattenkirk gives me a capable dman who can also play the Powerplay in Burns absence. Chiasson heading back to Winnipeg to fill a forward hole for them. Not really too big of a loss for me considering he has been a healthy scratch most of the season. Picks are there for balance. Thanks for the easy and quick talks Thomas. I think Burns will be a big boost in attracting a capable GM to the team as well.

Winnipeg agrees to this deal.
Too good to pass on for a reasonable cost that still helps long term. The D needed some solidifying (this may have been more than intended but it'll work lol), and the forward cost was reasonable as Chiasson and others should be able to pick up the production slack.
Thanks for the talks Jay!
