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).

Absolutely awesome signing. He is in my top 5 of all defensemen . Huge addition, wow!!!!

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

I mean, it does if we cant. Jeff Daniels is still here too.

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.

AAV is 7.75m, 2 years 15.5m deal. 

He's a top pair defenceman in the NHL and will be 2nd pair here in Carolina.

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. 

[DavidEng]

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.

It’s just feels like Brady or Brett is gone via trade. Either one would fetch us a 80 point guy.
