I know Waddell wants something more than a rental, but I am hearing Patches wants to give it another try next year, hum. If we got Timo and Patches with this core, wow.

And I think the Canes are seriously considering keeping him next year. Look, after 2 Achilles injuries in less than a year, he'll have had 10 months of rehab before lacing up the skates next season. He will also take a lower salary number given he's very damaged goods at this point. He might play for $5.5-6M versus the $7M he got this year.

I actually believe he would play for a little lower than that, possibly $4.5 for two years.  It is said he really likes Raleigh and NC in general, and he really likes Rod and the team.

I think Waddles is trying to land Timo, but he isn't going to give up the farm to do it.  I also believe he'll want an extension in place before he sends the goods over to SJ.

If they miss on Timo, I am expecting Donny to kick the tires on Barbashev as a rental for a 3rd rounder and mid-level prospect (maybe more if they arrange an extension).  I still believe he's talking to the Preds about Nino. 

Maybe Boeser, he's got term although I think Vancouver would have to retain some salary if they want anything of real value for him.  Boeser needs a change of scenery and could be very solid on the Canes, he is having his worst season of his career this year. 

An under the radar move that would make our bottom 6 a little faster would be Sam Lafferty, he's fast and has shown he can score a little.  He also comes with term and shouldn't cost much.  Doesn't move the needle and I really don't know who he would bump out of the lineup....probably a stupid thought here.

Dundon did an interview with Seravalli today and he stated that we are going to be aggressive. Seravalli stated later after the interview was over that the Canes have a very good offer in for Meier.

Very good scares me a bit… did we offer a first rounder, Morrow, and Drury…

Very good for us?

    • 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
