What if the canes don’t make a move and are afraid to fug up the chemistry. When patches came in, yes he scored 3 goals but we looked off. Aho has turned into an absolute machine lately. Something to think about. 

We have 9 mil in cap space once patches hits LTIR. No way we don’t make a move.

I think the Canes are zeroing in on Toews.  He can play 2C and be more of a scoring threat than KK.  He also plays a very good 2 way game.

I also read where the Canes were talking to the Canucks about Horvat, but wanted to talk extension before making any kind of offer.  After seeing what the Canucks got from NJ and his extension I am glad we didn't go there.

Looks like Boeser is going to be on the move soon and while I’m not a big fan his because he’s overpaid by quite a bit and slow; I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see Carolina approach Vancouver and take on all of Boeser’s contract along with the first round pick that Vancouver just acquired for Horvat in exchange for a second round pick.

Hmmmmm..... not a move I see Waddell making, tbh. You're right, he's overpaid and doesn't bring any more potential offense to the 2C position.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Canes also look for someone who can play the wing in a top six role but is maybe a third line winger in a perfect world.

Patches was going to be 1RW and Jarvis was going to get bumped down to the fourth line but obviously the injury occurred.

With over $10M to spend, I think 2C is the most important position followed by 1RW, and then 3LD.

So all in all, I’d like to see the Canes look something like this:

Teravainen - Aho - Trade

Svechnikov - Trade - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis

Stepan - Stastny

 

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Chatfield

Trade


Andersen

Raanta


I’m half expecting Coghlan to remain with the Canes so that might take us out of the market for a third pairing LHD but as far as our top six goes, I’m starting to get on board with a trade with St. Louis that could land us O’Reilly and Barbashev.

The Canes could lineup like:

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Barbashev - O’Reilly - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis


Just spitballing some ideas but I definitely think two additional pieces are needed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
