Andersen and Raanta both back.

Andersen - 2YRS - $3.4M AAV

Raanta - 1YR - $1.5M

Gotcha. Just saw the other thread. I’m having that Twitter imploded issue so currently no good on keeping up with news. 

[MillionDollarCam]

For the cap space people, the Canes have around $14M in cap space with the following roster and around $11.5M with TDA factored in.

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Drury - Ponomarev - Noesen

Rees

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Chatfield - Coghlan

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

 

So we need to find a LH 7th defenseman, figure out what’s going on with Pesce, extend Aho, and sign some forwards.

is Orlov a lefty?

2yr 15.5M!

The Orlov signing is great but odd.

He’s a lefty but he’s a top four defenseman.

LeBrun is also saying that we still want Karlsson. Maybe the Canes plan to move both Skjei and Pesce for forwards and bring in Orlov and Karlsson.

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Karlsson

Chatfield - TDA

[Harbingers]

This is why. What he isn’t saying is it’s neither of those. His source code is falling apart and would not be surprised if the program dies before it be can fix it.

Doubt it. Probably no TDA…

[Harbingers]

This move is a real head scratcher. 7+ million? What the fug.

From what I’ve heard that deal is going through in two weeks once full year has passed since TDA was traded.

[Harbingers]

Like why break the bank for orlov when you need forward(s) plural. 

[Harbingers]

Our success has been in large part do to the cohesion of our second D line this past run. Doing this poo just doesn’t make any sense.

Pesce just won't budge on term?  Traded for forward help?

We have a couple of promising young D-men that will be available in 2 years.  One of which is highly rated.

At this point with Don’s latest track record I’m waiting for it to come out Orlov needs surgery.

Yep, it’s this 100%. Nikishin and Morrow will be ready in two years and the Canes don’t want to overpay Pesce and Skjei on long contracts when they can give up extra cash now on short term deals until Nikishin comes over and Morrow is ready.
