Official Canes Off-season Thread

Welp, are we even going to make the playoffs next year lol

The Canes have made (or not made) more moves to make the team worse than they have to make it better.

1. Let Vinny Tro walk for less than $1M per year than he was making here.

2. Traded TDA (26 years old) and replaced him with a 37 year old with a bigger contract than TDA got in Philly.

3. Your centers: Aho, Jordo, Jesperi and some guy named Lane Pederson?

4. There are but 5 blueliners on the roster. (Slavin, Burns, Pesce, Skjei and Chatfield)

OK real talk with Burns Dylan and Max along with Drury and Chatfield coming up, possibly Coochie did we get better today?

I just keep thinking of our missing goal scorers in the playoffs and cant help but to think not. More likely just even. We need a couple more.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m worried about our 2C. I think KK is a 3C that has to play 4C because of Staal but I’m not sure he’s a 2C.

I’d personally ship Necas and Bear out for a 2C, add picks and prospects if needed, I’d also buyout Gardiner, and I’d also bring back Nino.

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Paccioretty - Trade - Teravainen

Niederreiter - Staal - Fast

Kotkaniemi - Drury - Kase

Martinook

Call Up’s - Noesen, Pederson

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Chatfield - Coghlan

Keane

Call Up’s - Lajoie

Andersen

Raanta

Call Up’s - Kochetkov

OK I had a brain fart. I thought this was a different Burns they signed. The burns from the sharks is literally Hamilton and Tony D’Angelo combined in one except he has actual star power. This dude is a fuging stud.  If he plays along with Slavin our defense is much better. Plus this guy is excellent for our locker room which was already good.

Burns and Patches are they type of guys this team was missing. We don’t poo the bed every road game this past postseason with those two on the ice.

Losing Vinny and TDA sucks, but if these new guys can stay healthy and age doesn’t catch up with Burns, we will be a better team both physically and more importantly, mentally.

That has got to mean we are basically done though unless we trade. 

Another move will have to be made because we can’t fit Necas in as is. Though in reality, I’m not even really sure where Necas fits.

 

Svech - Aho - Jarvis

Patches - KK - Teravainen

? - Staal - Fast

Marty - Drury - Kase

Noesen

Pederson

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Gardiner - Coghlan

Chatfield

Keane

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

 

I think we could see both Bear and Necas traded for picks and prospects and then the Canes could use their remaining cap space to bring back Nino or sign someone like Palat.

    • No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.   
    • Last year he had Bryce and was in the dog house.  The year before we ran it 90% of the time and we had trash at QB, DJ only had 888 yards that season. We had trash QB and trash coaching his whole time here, hard to judge any wr during his time here
    • We essentially dropped 7 spots and got a future 2nd after the dust settled. Not bad at all.
