Eh… not a big fan of this move.

 tend to agree, a good pickup but at a $7.5 mil AAV if that keeps us from picking up a high dollar scoring forward we won’t see a cup next season (and maybe the following season).

Doesn’t matter if the other team can’t score.

I know, but please let me enjoy this signing. It is the one I wanted most. Huge upgrade, even if it is to replace Pesce.

Yep! You would think based on the comments, this group should all be NHL GMs vs posting on a message board. 
 

Orlov is replacing Pesce. It’s coming. Relax and have a beer folks. We about to get leveled up.

Hopefully not Pesce since Orlov is a LHD. Skjei should be on the move but Pesce could be headed out as well if we get Karlsson.

You are annoying AF. Stick with posting your opinion instead of analyzing others. You act as if going to games gives you this supreme knowledge when it doesnt. Your takes are terrible and you are too reactionary. We have all seen what has happened to this team continuously in the playoffs and what areas should be addressed.

No one is saying Orlov isn’t a good pickup. It’s just concern that $7.5 mil AAV might keep from addressing Canes weakest spot- a top scoring forward. 

Maybe it won’t stop getting a scorer if Pesce goes, but until we pick up that forward who can score then don’t expect some of us to celebrate. 

We’re all just expressing our opinions here and we don’t have to agree. And I’m pretty calm lol.

Give it time. A goal scorer is heading our way 😉

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
