I gotta believe Gostisbehere is expendable at this point. Although both PP units will be without their QB. Think they're talking to Burns and Roslovic right now?

To your point, though. Savard, Rutta, and Burns are still out there....

Yeah, I caught my mistake earlier.

There were a couple good RHD, but, for whatever reason, the Canes took a pass.

Ooops, my bad.

I'm not seeing anything about Carolina handing out a $7.5M contract to anyone. Those are the confirmed moves as of now, minus the Miller deal. Cap space at $19.032M

The Carolina Hurricanes acquired K'Andre Miller from the New York Rangers for Scott Morrow, a conditional 2026 1st round pick, and 2026 2nd round pick. Per Puckpedia

"Mike Reilly is signed to a 1 year, $1,100,000 contract with a cap hit of $1,100,000 per season, playing for the Carolina Hurricanes. His contract expires at the end of the 2025-26 season, making Reilly an Unrestricted Free Agent." Per Puckpedia.

TSN NHL Free Agent Frenzy reporting: Ehlers agent is in Sweden Ehlers and his agent want to talk to everyone interested before he makes a decision. Given the time difference with his agent, no likely Ehlers deal before tomorrow. And, yeah, if all that comes out of this incredibly weak free agent class is a couple 2nd and 3rd pair blue-liners, I'd call this a disaster, given the size of the checking account. And, if someone wants to take the time and begin listing all the top line talent Carolina has failed to close over the past couple years.... ughhhh.... yes, the Canes have a problem. If it's Necas wanting out, the Rantanen fiasco, Guentzel- and they're just the ones who were here. Now let's talk about all those the Canes were supposedly in talks with and decided to go elsewhere... who wants to go first?

Granlund to the Ducks.

Does anyone besides me smell something strange coming from the Florida Panthers? Somehow, they've succeeded in keeping 3 guys in Eckblad, Marchand, and Bennett who all would have easily commanded at least $1.5M or more on the open market. Jus' sayin'

Eckblad would have gotten 7-8 as a UFA. I think Marchand is leaving.

Eckblad staying with Florida at a $6.1M AAV for 8 years.

Ghost and Burns both fighting to QB the PP and both prone to costly turnovers 5-on-5. I do not want to see that line ever together on the ice. I think Burns drops to the 2nd pair and Walker stays with Ghost.

I'll be very happy if that happens. Burns might be a little pricey, I'm more along the lines of 3-4, but...

Exactly.

I wouldn't trade Svech for the best FA on the market, Marner included. Matter of fact, someone would be giving up a top line scorer and a couple draft picks for Svech. Look at it this way, if Svech was a UFA in a couple days, what does his contract look like? That'll tell you everything you need to know.

If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html

A relatively quiet ELC signing from May 27: https://puckpedia.com/player/nikita-quapp

I get that, but not a lot of UFA top RHDs out there, unless you want to give Eckblad $9-10M. Matter of fact, Eckblad may be the only top line D-man who's unrestricted. Better look for a trade somewhere.

Cody Ceci, anyone?

Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33). Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more. Thoughts?

Sure, why not add another high-priced player who disappears in the post season. He'll fit right in! I'll take Mikael Granlund at C and Nikolaj Ehlers at LW, thanks.

Yeah, I'm not back for sure, just lurking during the off-season. Can't post anything someone may disagree with without it being taken as some personal attack. Anyway, yeah, Nikishin will be on the 2nd pair with Burns. RBA's exit presser really sounded like Burns will move down to the 2nd line. Slavin-Chatty Nikishin-Burns Ghost-Walker Morrow

Stop taking it as some personal affront. I don't care about UNC, Duke or State. I'm simply stating that Dean Smith did not tolerate nor want a "superstar" on his team. He believed in team play and that nobody is above the team. The Canes will not attract a 100-point scorer because RBA doesn't short shift lines to keep Aho on the ice, like we've seen the Oilers do with Draisaitl and McJesus- both with around 30 minutes in regulation time. It's one reason Aho may never see a 100-point season, because he won't get the ice-time to do it.
