Seravalli also mentioned Nick Schmaltz is being shopped by Zona and that the Canes may be interested, he also mentioned that the Canes are still interested in Kane.

Schmaltz would be a nice pick up if we don't land Timo.

Again, I think GMDW has a shopping list and if he doesn't land his #1 he has some backup plans.  I also wouldn't be surprised if a 3rd pair D-man is acquired for a small price.

We have a very good team, we just need to stay healthy and we need Freddy to play well.  Raanta always scares me, but hopefully he'll play as well as he did in the playoffs down the stretch.

I think the Rangers may be messing around with their chemistry by getting Kane.  He feels "spurned" by them, but it's the one team he really wanted to go to along with Toronto from what I read.

How do the Rangers acquire him when they are up against the cap with a deal that favors them?  It's odd, they have to get help from another team so it's going to cost them something.  At any rate I didn't want Kane here simply because he doesn't want to be here.  So he can take his prima donna ass right to New York. 

If the Canes feel like they are Cup contenders then they have to respond to everything going on in the East.  The Bruins gave up a lot to Washington in that Smith trade to get Orlov and Hathaway, with the Wild helping out taking on 50% of Orlov's salary for a 5th round pick.

It comes down to the Canes and the Devils for Timo in my opinion.  Carolina is in better position financially to make it happen, although we will have to give up a 1st and two solid prospects (Drury and Morrow?) or possibly a 1st, 2nd, and a prospect.  NJ is not budging on giving up Mercer so I just don't know what they have to offer that can beat a package we can put together, but anything is possible.

It's getting interesting!

Rangers can make it work by shipping out a couple of guys and adding a third team to retain an additional 25% of Kane’s contract. They’ll get Kane retained at 75%.

    • 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
