Agreed, if we get Karlsson then I think one of them is included in the deal for cap purposes and maybe we get Karlsson and some picks.

The other gets traded for a top six forward or for picks and we use that open cap space to go get someone like Killorn in FA.

I am excite, I hope we are smart with this.

I'm excited, I said the only thing we was missing was grit and some aggressive hockey players and they went out and got some. 1 to pair with Staal and another to help replace the 2nd line d. Also likely adding TDA as well. PP should be much better just from that and they definitely not done.

Just reviewed Michael Bunting stats for 2022-2023, compared to Canes forwards stats a little closer. He would have placed 4th in points from the forwards, not bad but not huge numbers at 49 points and 7 PPG.

To me this is who the Canes see as our scoring forward scoring addition if we are going after Killorn on defense (who is a scoring threat as well). thus no big time forward scorer. Will that be enough for a real cup run?

I actually think this is Nino’s replacement. We tried to sign Marchment last year and it didn’t work out, Bunting is a very similar player.

The Canes brought in Patches to be their 30 goal scorer last year and it didn’t work out. I personally think there is another move for a top six forward.

They've got to move either pesce or skjei if they still getting TDA.

Which begs the question do we put him 2-3 or 4? I’d play him 4 with Noesen and Drury/Pono and make our 4 line a lethal threat we haven’t had in a long time. Let Marty man, Staal and Fasty play the de facto shut down and pick up a forward at the deadline. 
 

Screw moving the second line. Put Orlov with chatty on three and play more balanced minutes. We can have a lot more balance and rotation like that. Bring TDA back as the 7D and we can push Orlov up as people get banged up. 
 

Honestly, in my opinion this whole situation looks negatively on Don. This may be rods last year as coach here. Let him get it done with his guys with a few additions. 

Of course this is all said with the knowledge rod has no issues shaking lines up that start to streak.

No we have just enough to get TDA. Which means going to the well again. Which I think we should. Get Pono up on four. It’s time. Our well is so fuging deep we need to start utilizing it early season to get these kids experience.

We aren’t going into games with all of these defenseman lol and TDA isn’t coming in to be a 7th defenseman.

We have Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, Orlov, Chatfield, and potentially TDA.

For starters, Orlov isn’t playing on the bottom pairing for $7.75AAV and TDA isn’t going to be the 7th defenseman.

With the Orlov signing, Skjei is definitely getting moved for a forward and and if the Canes get Karlsson then Pesce is headed out too.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      So you can explain how he was top 10....but won't.  We need to look it up ourselves?  I googled it.  Can't find the argument based on stats and facts.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, I think Nike has it all down to a sweet mathematical science to max revenue of what they average person will buy in terms of price....and what the average person will do with a dirty jersey.   Then they construct them accordingly.   and yeah, it's not about being tackled in them but I'm sure Nike knows exactly how each tier will react to washings...and then sunlight, heat, fading and on and on.    Just asking google about it there are tons of tiktoks, you tubes, reddit posts, etc with folks complaining about what a simple wash can do to a new one.    Your washing machine gets cooler tech....so you pay more now and it doesn't last as long .  My son's football cleats that help max speed got a hole in them before they even made it into the season this past year.     Now our football jersey's are lightweight with new mesh because it's totally better.....the end game is always because the big corporations have found the synergy between new and improved and not lasting as long.  That's my take.  I think everything is made to wear out sooner under the guise of but it's better today.
