I’d be fine with that. Move Pesce in the San Jose deal and move Skjei to wherever he wants to go for picks and maybe a good prospect and use that cap space for Tank. Svechnikov - Aho - Tarasenko Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Bunting - Staal - Fast Noesen - Martinook - Jarvis Drury Slavin - Burns Orlov - Karlsson Chatfield - DeAngelo Coghlan Andersen Raanta Kochetkov Rees, Ponomarev, and Suzuki could all be call up’s. That team would have to be a cup favorite.

I wonder if we go through with the TDA deal if we get Karlsson. If we get Karlsson and move Pesce then you still have log jam on defense. Slavin - Burns Orlov - Karlsson Skjei - Chatfield DeAngelo Going to be an interesting next two weeks once the trade market heats up.

I guess contingent on shipping a defenseman out, otherwise we’d have to throw Svech on LTIR.

Max Lajoie to Toronto and Ghost to Detroit on a 1YR/$4M deal.

The Hornets Summer League schedule kicks off on Monday and we’ll be playing in both the California Classic and Vegas Summer League. The roster and schedule are linked below: Link: https://www.nba.com/hornets/news/hornets-announce-summer-league-minicamp-roster The roster includes James Bouknight, Kai Jones, Bryce McGowens, Brandon Miller, Nick Smith Jr., James Nnaji, Amari Bailey, Xavier Sneed, Leaky Black, Angelo Allegri, Nathan Mensah, and Kobi Simmons among other guys. I believe Mark Williams just had surgery which is the reason for his absence, no word on why JT Thor isn’t playing. One exciting note is that Surenkamp is no longer the coach. Summer League tips off on Monday at 8:00PM against San Antonio on ESPN. Wembanyama is not expected to play, no word on if Miller will play.

Rod historically doesn’t play guys on their off side, I’d imagine they don’t sign Orlov unless they think Chatfield can play in the top four or they are moving Skjei. If Pesce is moved instead of Skjei then the lineup will look like: Slavin - Burns Orlov - Chatfield Skjei - DeAngelo But Orlov and Skjei aren’t playing together, that would be two lefties on one pairing and then two righties on one pairing (Chatfield and DeAngelo).

If Orlov is playing second then Skjei is gone. Orlov is a LHD and the only guy we’ve had play their off side in recent history is Chatfield.

Kind of depends on where the Canes have everyone slotted to play. The unit as of right now is: Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - Chatfield DeAngelo If Pesce is moved then maybe you look at something like: Slavin - Burns Orlov - Chatfield Skjei - DeAngelo If Skjei is moved then you are looking at something like: Slavin - Burns Orlov - Pesce Chatfield - DeAngelo And if both are moved and Karlsson is brought in then we have: Slavin - Burns Orlov - Karlsson Chatfield - DeAngelo

So with the TDA deal all but being confirmed by Waddell, the current roster is: Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Bunting - Staal - Fast Martinook - Drury - Noesen Rees Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - Chatfield DeAngelo Andersen Raanta Kochetkov Coghlan, Ponomarev, and Suzuki are also options for depth positions. With the TDA deal factored in, Canes essentially have $300K in cap space. Any additional moves will have to come via trade unless someone gets thrown on LTIR.

Waddell confirms the TDA deal.

Oh nice, you get to watch the Calder Cup run?

I think as we saw this past year, we don’t go hard at the deadline. If there’s a move to be made for a forward then it’ll be in the next couple weeks.

Just did a double check and he’s counted, even on cap friendly, at the top the project LTIR cap space is $0 and it shows Svech just on regular IR not LTIR.

I actually thought about that while watching the draft lol.

We need another 30 goal guy though, that’s for sure. We aren’t done with the forward group, I can guarantee you that.

He is being counted, he’s not on LTIR as of right now.

I think the fact that Svech is unlikely to be ready at the start of the season is another reason we aren’t done.

There’s something out there in left field for us, just like the Patches deal but hopefully this time it works out.

William Lagesson, who the Canes signed last year and spent all year in Chicago, is off to Toronto. One nice thing about not having an affiliate is we don’t have to sign a bunch of no names because we have nowhere for them to play next year lol.

Max is gone to Washington unfortunately.

I need forwards!!!! Lol

I’d bet my house that we aren’t done. Rod may be in charge of the team by Waddell isn’t stupid enough to sign a defenseman for $7.75M and have Rod play him on the bottom unit.

Orlov is only getting $7.75 because it’s a short deal and there’s no excuse for the Karlsson deal. In the NHL only guys like McDavid and Matthews should be making that much. As for Slavin, he’ll get $9.5M or $10M.

We aren’t going into games with all of these defenseman lol and TDA isn’t coming in to be a 7th defenseman. We have Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, Orlov, Chatfield, and potentially TDA. For starters, Orlov isn’t playing on the bottom pairing for $7.75AAV and TDA isn’t going to be the 7th defenseman. With the Orlov signing, Skjei is definitely getting moved for a forward and and if the Canes get Karlsson then Pesce is headed out too.

I don’t even know if San Jose has enough money to buy out the remainder of his contract lol.
