With a roster like ours, it is not the time to be being a cheap ass. 

It’s not about being a cheap ass. We have plenty of cap space to play with but we have a ton of people to resign including Svech and a second goalie no matter what.
 

4-4.5 for 2-3 years is fine for Ned prove it seal in the scheme of things. If his upper arbitration limit is 4.5 I wouldn’t be to worried. I would be worried if he’s asking for vas or price money and can get it through arbitration. He had one decently good half season, ABH is right. We need to see what he can do in a full season with a heavier work load.

I think this all just posturing from both sides.  Ned will get his raise, but the Canes cannot break the bank and term on him - he only has a partial season and two playoff rounds where he has been the man.

Oh, we also didn't win the President's Trophy this year even though we had a chance....and yes I give a ton of credit to Nedejkovic for having that opportunity.

With Dundon, it's always about being a cheap ass...

Sent Kaiton packing to save a nickel.

Lowballed Forslund straight to NBC.

Sent the Checkers packing to make a few bucks.

Picking fights with Centennial Authority bc he doesn't want to pay his rent.

Got into a public pissing match with a beloved head coach and former player bc he didn't want to pay the assistant coaches and trainers.

Make no mistake, it's definitely about the $$$, first and foremost, when it comes to Mr. Slumlord.

Don't be surprised when Tripp's contract comes up and they replace him with some freshman intern from Wake Tech.

Hell, I'd bet money that Stormy is just a handful of stray cats stuffed into the costume at this point.

I'm so glad someone else sees this. Until proven otherwise, Tom Dundon doesn't really care about winning. He got lucky and inherited a team that was going to be good no matter who owned. This is the offseason that is going to make or break our stanley cup hopes and so far from what we've seen, Dundon is not stepping up to the plate. 

One thing I can't stand is how he ALWAYS talks about the team like its an investment, saying things like "while I'm here" and "as long as I'm the owner". I get the feeling that he's treating the team like people do cars or houses and that he plans on flipping it for profit eventually. He really seems like he's going to end up making us the Bengals of the NHL.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but Tripp's contract did expire and he was re-signed!

Stormy has been two handfuls of stray cats stuffed in the costume the past two seasons!  😜

I honestly think a deal gets done. Dumdum already caved to Chancellor Brind'Amour once this offseason. And, I hope he's not dumb enough to let a talent like Ned walk out that door.

Ned is not gonna get $10million per like Vas or Price. I don't know what my ceiling would be as a GM, but if I was Ned, I'm not taking less than 5.

Exactly Stumpy. We need to retain Ned.

Well I was wrong....Ned did get his raise, but not from the Canes.  I guess they didn't like the small sample size of his actual games played! 

Playing with fire - this is either going to look good like the Skinner deal played out or the Canes just made a very big mistake.  We'll know in a couple of years.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
