So what I’m reading seems to indicate Tarasenko signing wasn’t a done deal yesterday. If it was we would have had confirmation by now or at least other sources confirming. Talk of Ottawa if they can move deBrinkat. Could be what’s slowing down his decision. Supposedly agent was talking to six teams at one point.

A “sounds like” tweet is not a confirmation. I’m waiting for that.

Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been bailed on, Marchment last year comes to mind.

He counts according to CapFriendly. His cap is listed and they dropped Canes available cap from ~2.8 mil to a little over $2 mil to account for his cap hit. I’m no expert just what I saw there.

Yeah, that will get updated and he won't count against the NHL cap.  Much like the other AHLers we have signed.

The noise on Karlsson trade on Twitter has died down drastically. Like his trade talk fell into a black hole.

Because as of the other day, SJ was only willing to retain 20% of EK's contract. The only two teams interested seriously are Pitt and Carolina. Both need SJ to retain more plus add a third team to retain even more.

Looks like Pesce may be traded this weekend. Brett’s dad is saying his goodbye’s on Twitter.

First dominoe in the EK trade and Tarasenko signings. If both still happen. 

Nashville is probably the landing spot based on rumors. With the canes getting back a first round pick to include in the EK trade. 

 

Drury plus first for EK at 35% retained.  Maybe a 2nd team in it to get it down even more.

I’ve seen Nashville mentioned and a possible return being Fabbro and a first. Then both are flipped along with our first rounder to San Jose.

Nashville will probably allow him to still live in the triangle for at least part of the year.

i really don't know ho to feel about EK. i get he's a 100 point defender, but does the blue line not get worse with him and no pesce.

Probably but not a whole lot. 

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - EK

Skjei/Chatfield - TDA (maybe no TDA if they pull of EK) unless Skjei agrees to be moved. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I don’t want to move either Pesce or Skjei. People are down on them but their defense is ungodly most nights. We don’t need an offensive D line cause that’s all we could get. 
 

People also forget we play man defense. Too many new people too it are going to cause major issues.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
