Before the Canes can do anything, they need to free up some cap space beyond the current $3.1M they have.

I don't think anything will be in the works until Max's injury is thoroughly diagnosed. If he goes on LTIR and/or is done for the season, the additional space may precipitate a move. I'd certainly entertain any move that would include Bo Horvat, but not give up the farm for him.

Tarasenko is a younger version of Pacioretty, by a couple years is all. But he's on IR as well with a 4-week hand injury from Jan 2. He does have 29 points in the 34 games he's played. He's also a UFA after this season. I'd be interested if the Canes could land him with a prospect and a reasonable price. Again, I don't think he's a $7.5M player, but...

Horvat has 49 points in 45 games and is 4 years younger than Tarasenko. He's currently playing out a $5.5M contract and is also a UFA at the end of the year. He could be a long term fix at the center position for the Canes on the 2nd line replacing Paul Statsny, who, at 37, will be gone after the season. And who knows how much longer Jordo is going to play?

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
