Idk why we are even still trying for Tarasenko.

Wonder if everything is waiting on Tank.

If we signed Tank we’d have no cap space left until a defenseman is moved.

No reason to rush a Pesce trade when you can do it at anytime, and the same thing can be said for a TDA trade, it can be done at any time.

Hopefully with Ottawa trading Cat, it speeds up the Tank process. Now the Canes and Sens can give their final offers.

Good question.

[Anybodyhome]

Canes have $3.3M in cap space and should still be looking for a forward who will add 30-45 points. The Pesce trade needs to happen and free up another $4M in cap space.

The TDA deal, if there is one, is not yet applied.

I'll throw a couple names out there who are not Tarasenko: Nick Ritchie and Tomas Tatar. Ritchie has had some good seasons, albeit he's probably a 30-point guy at best. But he's young, fairly inexpensive and a left-handed, LW.

Tatar, on the other hand, is 32, but can play both sides of the ice as a lefty. He also averages over 40 points per season and will likely cost the Canes about $5M AAV.

And, another thing I do like about both guys- they play with a lot of grit. Ritchie is 6-3 @ 230lbs.

Hoping we get some good news this week.

More of a depth move. I doubt he plays on the 4th line much less any this year.

What about all our AHL dudes. Are they ever going to get an opportunity to play.

I would think if they are ready rod would have them up. This is a pretty cheap contract so any depth is good. Pom and Nikish prob a year away. Kooch another year away.

Oh, wtf....

This does nothing for Carolina. As a matter of fact, it's subtraction by addition. The guy is a penalty machine (484 PIM in 275 games).

I don't fugging understand this move at all except to say, are the Canes now playing guys to be healthy scratches every game? I wouldn't let this guy on the ice between periods, let alone when the game is in the balance. May as well have kept Stastny or Stepan.

Oh, he played for the rags. That explains it.
