Rumor - Canes Adding Tarasenko

Just my personal opinion but Carolina is probably in the same boat as Ottawa and trying to make a trade before signing Tarasenko.

Teams can go 10% over the cap during free agency but doing so essentially negates any leverage you have in a trade. If the Canes signed Tarasenko, then traded for TDA, and then Coghlan signed his QO… we’d be over the cap by like $3.5M.

At that point we have no leverage in a Pesce trade. Teams will look at our cap situation and realize that we have to trade him. At this point in time we don’t have to do anything, we can keep him as a rental if we want.

I’m sure Waddell doesn’t want to go back on his word but at this point I’d sign Tank and call it. If we can move Pesce in a good deal then we can revisit the TDA trade then but I wouldn’t let that hold us up from signing Tarasenko.

Here here, I’m with your on that. Have no desire to see essentially a retooling by trading away our defense. Get Tarasenko and stop there if we can. If not just stop, or if you must, take TDA and stop there.

And people will say you can’t put Orlov on the third pairing, that’s fine then lol, put Skjei there.

You wouldn’t find a better d-corp than Slavin - Burns, Orlov - Pesce, Skjei - Chatfield.

That’s a weird tweet to say pretty much…nothing. And Gold is not the most plugged in person. 

? He says at this time there is no agreement in place. Do you really doubt that? It would have broken by now if there was.

 

Geesh. It’s kinda obvious.

We would have to trade a forward for Tarasenko. Not going to happen. 

Not really.

Drury only played last year because of injuries, people forget that he started in Chicago.

He hasn’t been as impressive as he was when he first came up. And if we did have to move a forward then he’s probably gone since he did request a trade last year.

Pretty obvious he’s right this time. Can’t dismiss that with name calling lol.

He’s right to the sense that Tarasenko hasn’t signed with Carolina yet but that doesn’t make Shayna wrong.

No offense to Adam and WRAL Sports but Shayna and The Athletic are more plugged in lol. Shayna is also based out of NY so she very well could have gotten this from the Rangers or Tarasenko’s camp.

But Gold is saving face right now because he wasn’t able to get the scoop.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
