Necas isn't going anywhere this season at this point.

Adam Gold Says about 15....

I trust Adam Gold more than you just saying... https://x.com/AGoldFan/status/1808913142862287264?t=0W1TYMiYlQS4_SBvAzmCnQ&s=19

Seth Jarvis isnt even eligible for arbitration yet

I think FUS forces his way onto the roster Ala Jarvis... I agree there is way too many Panthers esque the world is ending posters right now.

Likewise he's one of the few I was actually surprised we didn't resign.... People flipping about nit resigning the guys need to realize it was never possible... Just the Skjei Pesce Turbo deals would have had us 2m over the cap.... I think they messed up playing hardball with Guentzel until the last minute I'd bet he would be here if they had met his 8 x 8 ask a month ago. This isn't the final roster for the season that I promise, the defensive Corp is fine last season we had an absurd overstock it's not reasonable to expect 3 #1 pairings. I don't see any way they can move Necas at this point it would leave us with 0 experienced 2nd line skill, give him the shot he wants at center!

You are the same guy who was cup or bust... lord pick a poison a 4-8 seed and losing on the first two rounds is no different than a top seed losing in the first 4 rounds..... We have a lot of young talent and an absolute blue chipper in Nickushin next year.... and cap space.

They have publicly stated they are not done...

Not entirely accurate only the top 23 count towards the cap....

I think it will be a transition year will be a playoff team (more grindy and young blood) but not a top contender... but in 25-26 back to being a contender IMO Nickishin will be ready to do day 1 IMO.... and if we can get some of these young guys the experience/development FUS/Blake/Nadeu/Morrow

Looks like the Canes are signing Sean Walker...

Pesce declined a few years in a row.... Turbo finally made an effort again in a contract year..... I don't think they are as heavy of losses as many think. I think some things will be addressed via trade but it will likely be waiting on the outcomes of Jarvis/Necas.

Lol

That's the "top" of his expected contract range, there is more too it than that though taxes for one..... out of the teams with the cap space to sign him NC has one of the lowest tax rates.... 4 of them are Canadian teams (10m a year there is about 8m here because of taxes) He will also likely want a contender (weeds out literally every team with more cap than we currently have) By all accounts Guentzel wants to test the market the team most consider targeting him (the canucks) would need to offer him 11×7 to make it equal to 8x7 from us.

That's right in the expected range of what he would get on the open market....

Paul Maurice took 30+ years to get a cup.... bad example

Ehhh last years (2023 playoffs) we were the walking dead with no scorers... New York was the worst possible matchup for us, the Panthers play the same game we do and we are generally able to hold them from scoring much better than the rags.

This needed to happen! Especially with him and Orlov being the likely second pair! https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/carolina-hurricanes-re-sign-defenseman-jalen-chatfield

Second time I think

Facts..... we are equal to these teams every were else.... The only potential elite goalie available this offseason will be Saros (and he's smaller and had a crappy year this last season)

If Guentzel resigns I'd bet a solid amount on both Aho and Him getting 100

It all hinges on Guentzel IMO....

Happened with the flames just a few years ago also happens just about every season for the oilers but I wouldn't count that as they have two of the top 5 best scorerers in the NHL

MAN HES TOUGH reportedly played 70+ games and the playoffs with a torn labrum still scored and 33 goals..... and also suffered a broken finger during the playoffs! Absolute warrior! I think he goes for 40+ https://x.com/WaltRuff/status/1792215867008209384?t=yilu2_ONGVkEvXdy1Zgy3g&s=19

Raleigh currently has the only professional sports team in the Carolinas that actually play like professionals. Guaranteed better crowds in Raleigh.
