I still remember the Tlusty - E. Staal - Semin line like it was yesterday.

I got a 25th sweater. I wanted to always be able to wear it so I got no.97 and take warning on the name plate. I’m good as long as the slogan never changes.

Shouldn’t this just be an announcement? What’s there to do. All the ground work should have been completed.

That’s what I was thinking lol.

How hard is it to send out a tweet that says we’ve acquired TDA.

DeBrinkat traded by Ottawa to Detroit.

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.
