2023 Off-Season Thread

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.

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

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.

Let's see if he can stay healthy.  He may be ready at the start of the season.

I highly doubt he’s ready and even if he is I wouldn’t put him out there until January. Coming off two ruptures, you need a full year at least.

More grit on the way, Carolina is closing in on Michael Bunting / 3 year deal.

[MillionDollarCam]

Canes current roster:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Bunting - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Drury - Noesen

Ponomarev

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

Coghlan

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

 

We still need a high end forward and I think that will be acquired via trade. Skjei and Pesce are probably both on the block and from the sound of it, the Canes are still interested in Karlsson and still plan to acquire TDA.

Duchene to Dallas, 1YR/$3M, nice deal for them.

Not a whole lot left that I like on the FA market. Just Bertuzzi, Killorn, and Tarasenko.

[Panthers Fan 69]

I love the canes moves today! 

[Rocky Davis]

Have read where we are interested in Bertuzzi. 

A couple of mentions around Tarasenko who didn't have a great season last year, but was very good the year before.  He's either done or will rebound...probably too expensive for us to find out.

Hard to figure out how we can afford Karlsson unless a lot of salary is retained. 

We still need a scoring forward and it almost has to come via trade now.

Ya dont give orlov 7.75aav for 3rd pairing. There's trades coming for sure. 

He's a top pair defenceman
