Puck drop is expected to be at 10:20…

Canes can still afford one of Toffoli or Lindholm with retention.

So here’s what we are looking at… Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Noesen - Stasnty - Puljujarvi Stepan Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Gostisbehere - Chatfield de Haan - Coghlan Andersen Raanta

If they don’t figure out a way to come away with our scoring forward like Toffoli then we might as well just forfeit the second round.

This deadline sucks.

If the Canes move out Coghlan they’d have around $3.3M to add another forward.

Beginning to think the Canes other forward pickup will be Hayes with retention; maybe 30% retention which would still give the Canes around $3M or so to upgrade the defense. Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Hayes - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Puljujarvi Stepan - Stastny

Heard stories about that fuger… can’t believe we lost dancing Granny and she was replaced with this idiot.

He probably takes Stepan’s spot but we desperately need a 20 goal scorer to plug into this lineup. And someone who can make sure Coghlan doesn’t see the ice in the playoffs.

Kind of shocked that the Canes couldn’t get Puljujarvi for even less than that, he seemed to have no future with Edmonton.

Hell some of the prospects we’ve hung on to may never help us… I was saying earlier that I’d rather give guys like Drury, Rees, and Suzuki a chance to make the roster as fourth line players going forward rather than bringing in older guys like Stepan and Stastny. In a perfect world those players develop but even if they don’t (like Zetterlund from NJ), you can still flip them in trades because they are young enough where another team might take a chance on them.

The guy featured in this (Michael Futa) used to work for the Canes… safe to say that there was some philosophical differences in how to get a Cup.

Canes appear to be in on Chychrun… He’s not exactly what we need need right now but he’d make it easy to let Skjei go when his contract is up. Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Chychrun - Chatfield de Haan

Wtf… Tampa out here giving entire drafts up for Jeannot.

Wonder what the cost is to get Chychrun and Schmaltz.

At this point it’s safe to assume San Jose was always dealing him to NJ. If the Canes did indeed offer Morrow, he’s far and away the best prospect out of all that San Jose got back.

Timo is an RFA so he’ll be with the Devils for at least the remainder of this year and next year, I’d be shocked if they don’t give him is offer sheet.

I feel like the big issue for the Canes is they don’t have any young roster players to use as throw away pieces. Our bottom six consists of veterans and NJ’s bottom six consists of young average players like Zetterlund who at least have a chance of getting better. Stastny and Stepan are what they are at this point and the Canes probably could have gotten the same production out of Drury and Rees but the Canes have elected to go with the veteran route. If you break the trade down… Zetterlund - Canes don’t have an equivalent Johnsson - He’s just a cap dump so Canes wouldn’t have needed to include a piece here but the Canes could have included Stepan or an older prospect like Lajoie. Ohotiuk - His prospect ranking is probably similar to Honka’s Mukhamadullin - His ranking is similar to Heimosalmi’s. So if I was to try to create a package like that from the Canes perspective, it would be: Drury, Stepan, Honka, Heimosalmi, and two first round picks.

And now it’s official.

Looks like the injury concern is not with Meier but with one of the pieces NJ is trying to include… Get fuged San Jose.

LOL, Friedman is reporting that the deal is NOT DONE, there’s now some injury concerns with Meier…

Well fug me.
