Dougie gone. I know everyone wanted the Canes to re-sign him, but at $9 Mil AAV....no thanks. There's no way in hell he should be the highest paid player on the team. When Dougie is on, he's great, but there are way too many lapses for him to make 9 Mil a year.

Honestly, I'd rather have a defenseman that scares people than one who scores occassionally. Resign Hakanpaa.

I can only hope that the bridge deal gets done with Svech and that we may also get either Saad or Tarasenko in a fair trade. 

Saad is a free agent so his only cost would be the contract he signs.

I like the idea of Tarasenko because the dude is a lethal sniper who can put points on the board.  I just don't want to give up much to the Blues because his cap hit is $7M.  If the Blues retain salary and we can make a good trade I think he may come in and really be motivated to stick it to the league and the Blues.

Post Season Points. As an "Offensive" Defensemen...2 goals in 11 games doesn't scream 9 Mil AAV to me. His +/- was great, but at the end of the day...gotta put pucks in net when the seasons on the line.

EDIT: I'd much rather take that money and give it to a pure goal scorer.

His +/- can be attributed to Slavin...at least half of it.  He looked lost at times when Slavin didn't play in the Nashville series.

For all that has been said about Dougie not enjoying being criticized in big hockey markets and really feeling at home in Carolina money ruled the day and he moved to a team that is covered by the NY media.  Good luck Dougie...I hope NJ had a solid defenseman that will cover your ass when you make a boneheaded play.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
