I get it's disappointing, but this was definitely a seller's market and the only players traded away were players that would be depth pieces at best for us. A lot of the top teams (Avs, Stars, Lightning, Wild post Hughes) really only traded for depth pieces. Just a terrible trade deadline all around and I'm glad we didn't cave and sell the farm for somebody like Tro (even though I like him and he fits our team well).

Yes the Icky thing really kills us this year with a 17.4 I think, million dollar hole, for nothing. His extension would likely have reduced his 2026 hit. But the extension was going to be massive. At the same time, the massive extension money is largely freed up now and can go elsewhere. There is just no way he should be in line for the same payday as pre injury. I say largely freed because maybe we can do a little hollowed out extension to give him a window to get back and stay with the team past this year. Snap count and/or other incentives for 2027. Something that leaves the door open for him to get a fresh contract that reflects his value moving into 2028. Whatever that proves to be. We’d have a lot of that money that was earmarked for his extension available to us starting next year.

What a major letdown. This team will forever disappoint me

The gift that keeps on giving. I mean the turd that keeps on stinking...

Biggest thing that I can pull is that on every big deal the hurricanes have been in this season they have refused to make a trade unless KK was being taken back by the other team.

This he will lace up one or two games in the playoffs when we need someone to keep the smurfs from getting knocked around

Hmmm honestly probably would have done it just because with RBA its gonna be 2 years before hes on a top line were he should be

He will probably be used sparingly to give guys off days until the playoffs. Can't see him playing in the playoffs for us unless we need a goon out there

NY specifically wanted Nadeau for Trocheck plus picks

We have seen this before lol. Lemeiux ring a bell? He will play one or two playoff games to be a goon thats about it

David Pagnotta saying Hurricanes were out on Trocheck as of almost 10 minutes ago.

Im fine moving Stankoven or Blake, Won't be happy if its Boom (don't think it is) or Nadeu

Also just to add Deslauriers will likely get playing time on the forth line, he's someone that Rod wanted specifically.

Im with you

20 minutes and.... ? I may have to rescind my season tickets if this is any indication of just how serious the Canes are about winning.

Thats not at all whats being said on X RN but okay. And I'd give them Blake NP. but it will probably be Nadeu which i dont like lkl

I don't mind losing the 1st rounder. I do mind losing one of our best young players or prospects

Unless something crazy happens with NY and Trocheck the Canes are done. NY is ok waiting til the summer to trade Trocheck and their asking price is high. Think Nadeau plus another player plus a first and draft capital for them to take KK back. So think Nadeau, KK, Fensore First, 2nd and a couple late picks.

I don't think there was any way the Preds were trading O'Reilly unless they received a king's ransom. So probably a similar trade requirement of multiple 1sts and somebody like Nadeau, Blake, or Boom

Your overvalueing late first rounders, even last year the Leafs gave up one for his bum dman brother

They can ask all day, he better be calling about ROR

Meh non lotto firsts mean little for most teams the 3rd and prospect are expected, surprising only because they arent a true contender, would have made more sense to not trade Nelson last year. I WOULD have paid that foe shenn physical big center who can still score a bit?

if Schenn and Roy are getting 1st rounders +, I can only imagine what the hell the Rags are asking for. Wouldn't surprise me if they are asking for Boom + a couple of 1st rounders

We definitely still have a defensive issue. Way too many easy shots from the slot because we have guys chasing along the boards for no reason. Not worried about the 4 goals Bus gave up - 3 of them are not getting saved by pretty much any goalie in the NHL
