Canes will need to find a place for Kochetkov to play this year since we no longer have an AHL affiliate.

Waddell shaved $1M per year off of Freddie’s precious cap hit. Andersen and Raanta’s previous cap hit per year - $6.5M Andersen and Raanta’s current cap hit - $5M Good work GMDW.

GMDW solved the goalie issue early. Andersen is back 2YRS/$3.5MAAV

No Wheeler, he’s headed to NY.

So as of right now: Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Drury - Ponomarev - Noesen Rees Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Chatfield - Coghlan Raanta Kochetkov Still need another goalie, the TDA deal to go through, potentially one or two more forwards, and probably a LH 7th defenseman. We also need to figure out the Pesce situation and extend Aho.

Don’t think that’s going to happen though I agree.

Canes shaved 500K off of Raanta’s previous cap hit. Have to think they are looking for another goalie in the $4.5M range whether it’s Freddie, Korpisalo, or Jarry.

The Finnish Father is back, 1YR/$1.5M. Welcome back Rants!

Erik Karlsson still being mentioned as a possibility for the Canes, starting to think the play is Karlsson and then shipping Pesce out for a forward. Slavin - Burns Skjei - Karlsson Chatfield - TDA

Lost DSJ to the Nets.

We have no money, everything is tied up in our RFA’s. This is what happens when you give stupid contracts to Terry and Gordon.

It’s fugging Klutch Sports being dickheads again. Doubt the Hornets will do it.

Looks like the team will pretty much be last years team outside of bringing back Bridges and adding Miller. Just not any roster spots available unless we trade some guys. G - Ball, Smith Jr. (Nick), Maledon (received a QO) G - Rozier, Miller, Bouknight F - Bridges (received a QO), Hayward, Martin, McGowens F - Washington (received a QO), Thor, Jones C - Williams, Richards Non-Guaranteed Contract - Kobi Simmons Two- Way Contract - Xavier Sneed, Leaky Black And I haven’t even mentioned Amari Bailey who I imagine they’ll try to stash in the G-League and James Nnaji who will probably stay in Spain. Just no slots available unless we start moving some of these guys out.

Assuming Max is looking for more than we are offering. In a perfect world you give him $2.5M and he comes back in the playoffs. But maybe he wants more than that.

QO’s are in. Coghlan got one; Pool Party (as mentioned), Bokk, and Mattheos did not.

Rod likes his vets, wouldn’t be surprised to see one of Wheeler or Duchene in Carolina. Also read that we are circling back on Patches.

That Fast deal is amazing, guarantee he’d get $3M if he wanted to leave Carolina.

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period said that Pesce will be traded or extended by July 1st. Well see if he’s making poo up very soon.

Remember when Tony upper cutted that guy in the balls lol, good times.

Shoutout to @Harbingersfor keeping us updated on the draft, very much appreciated.

True, injury history is a big concern with EK.

San Jose would have to retain 50% and we might even have to have another team come in and retain an additional 25%. Don’t think we could afford the cap hit unless a minimum of 50% was retained.

How would everyone feel about trading futures, prospects, etc. for EK and then flipping Pesce for a forward? Adam Gold mentioned something today on the Pesce front that caught my eye. It seems that money might not be the issue but rather term. He speculates that the Canes don’t want to give Pesce a seven or eight year deal that will run him to 38 and would be more inclined to take EK for four years.

Elite for his age but not in terms of overall NHL talent. Not many 35 year olds will put up damn near 100 points though.

Canes love those highly skilled, offensive, small guys. A lot of them fall because of their size but the Canes scoop them up in hopes they turn into the next Brayden Point or Johnny Hockey.
