2023 Off-Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Bunting adds scoring to the team as well as some nastiness, which we can all agree we needed. 112 points and 46 goals over the last two seasons is nothing to sneeze at. Orlov improves the defense no matter who he replaces on the 2nd line and he gives the team some flexibility to go after karlsson and a goal scorer.

Karlsson has 3 teams going after him, Penguins, Seattle, Canes. If Pesce goes I don’t see how the Canes can get him for the  ~7 mil in cap space we would have left without some creative wrangling to avoid cap limit.

It would be a complicated deal. 50% retained by San Jose and 25% retained by a third team. And from what I’ve seen it’s down to Pittsburgh or Carolina with Pittsburgh being the favorite.

Just my thought process.

If we don’t get Karlsson then you ride out Pesce’s contract this year. Regardless, Skjei gets moved cause you don’t pay Orlov to play on the third pairing.

So defensively I think we’re looking at:

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Karlsson/Pesce

Chatfield - TDA

The 7th defenseman doesn’t really matter but maybe go pick up Marc Staal for cheap since he’s a lefty.

In moving Skjei, I think you attach picks and prospects to him to get a 30 goal scorer.

So my hypothetical team would be:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Trade - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Bunting - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Martinook - Teravainen

Drury

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Karlsson/Pesce

Chatfield - TDA

Staal

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

Yeah I’ve seen those tweets. Why would San Jose be willing to retain 50%? With 3 teams after him (or 2 depending on the speculator) I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Karlsson is a $11.5 mil AAV contract. Also saw a tweet that a deal isn’t  close so expect something in an hour haha.

San Jose doesn't want to retain on Karlsson deal, so Hurricanes are probably out of it. 

They are going to have to, there’s not a team in the universe that can fit $11.5M in their cap for the next four years.

They’ll end up retaining 35% and depending on who he goes to, a third time might have to come in and retain an additional third.

I’d imagine San Jose doesn’t want to take a bunch of salary back so I don’t know how Pittsburgh is in the conversation since they have no cap space whatsoever.

If Carolina were to acquire Karlsson then I think it would like like this:

San Jose Receives - Picks, Prospects

Third Team Receives - Pesce

Carolina Receives - Karlsson, Picks from Third Team

San Jose Would retain 35%, the third team would retain 35%, and Carolina would get Karlsson at $4.025M AAV over the next four years. $4.025 AAV is the contract that Pesce is currently on.

San Jose probably doesn’t want salary back because they are in a rebuild so we give them picks and prospects and we give Pesce to a team that’s interested in him in exchange for taking on some of Karlsson’s salary.

The deal could also be simplified if San Jose retained 50% on Karlsson. It would have to be something like Pesce and Drury for Karlsson and then San Jose could flip Pesce at the deadline for picks.

That's the rumor right now, they have said no to retaining much if any of his contract. 🤷‍♂️

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
