Yepper’s lol. I amusingly await a post here saying “See? I told you Shayna was right!” haha A real confirmation I will gladly accept, but sorry guys Shayna didn’t give a confirmation, she just gave her opinion that “it looks like” and I accepted it as such.

Yeah rumor is the Canes and sports media are all in collusion keeping the Tarasenko trade on a hush hush basis to toy with the CH Canes forum.

All Adam Gold said is there is no agreement in place. And that should be obvious to anyone at this point. I have no personal opinion about any of these people. But Adam Gold is the only one who came out with an absolute fact. say what you will. Shayna’s “looks like” was a prediction that may come true but at this point it’s not an existing fact.

So you think there’s an agreement in place? link please? lol

Fair enough. I just choose to wait to see it official. It’s all good.

I don’t accept promissory notes and don’t sign off on anything until I see it in writing. Just common sense business.

Found the holdup.

You guys are too hung up on sports personalities. Bottom line is it’s not a done deal that the Canes sign Tarasenko. When it’s confirmed as done I’ll go with it.

Pretty obvious he’s right this time. Can’t dismiss that with name calling lol.

Happy Independence Day!

? He says at this time there is no agreement in place. Do you really doubt that? It would have broken by now if there was. Geesh. It’s kinda obvious.

Now this I trust. He’s close to the sources here in NC.

Here here, I’m with your on that. Have no desire to see essentially a retooling by trading away our defense. Get Tarasenko and stop there if we can. If not just stop, or if you must, take TDA and stop there.

Agreed on the trade but not the money part. I said somewhere that the delay may be to see if Ottawa is able to trade DeBrinkat. Times running out I’m sure. Have little doubt the wait is because the Sens offer is bigger.

I think this tweet sums up the decision Tarasenko has to make. Likely Ottawa has a better offer and maybe longer term vs going with the Canes and a chance at the cup.

Waiting for the deal to actually happen before I slot Tarasenko lol

So what I’m reading seems to indicate Tarasenko signing wasn’t a done deal yesterday. If it was we would have had confirmation by now or at least other sources confirming. Talk of Ottawa if they can move deBrinkat. Could be what’s slowing down his decision. Supposedly agent was talking to six teams at one point. A “sounds like” tweet is not a confirmation. I’m waiting for that. https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/amp/nhl_rumors_vladimir_tarasenko_and_john_gibson/s1_17076_38985732

Just talked to my buddy Booger Thompson, he says Tarasenko is a 1 year deal. Booger is usually spot on unless he’s been drinkin’.

Haha so true

I want to see an announcement. So far all the tweets are based off Shayna Goldman’s tweet (apparently has a good reputation @TheAtheletic) that said “sounds like”.

Saw that, if true the question is what are we trading away?

Similar rumor by some hockey writer Karlsson to the Pens

Thanks for the education and link.

He counts according to CapFriendly. His cap is listed and they dropped Canes available cap from ~2.8 mil to a little over $2 mil to account for his cap hit. I’m no expert just what I saw there. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/hurricanes

Ooh hasn’t thought of that, right we just had enough cap for tonys $2.5mil before Mendel signing. Still I guess all kinds of trades could still be made. But it ain’t gonna be Karlsson. Nope.
