Which prospect“s”… Niki, Pono, FUS, Nadeau, Morrow and Perets should be off the list in that order. But I have a feeling one or more of them wouldn’t be. I’d also consider Vondros on the NTL too. 

I disagree. We can’t keep holding on to prospects that haven’t even touched ice for us yet minus one Pono and Perets game.  We need to face it that if we get a big name trade, they are going to absolutely going to lose 1 or 2 of these guys. I’m all for it. ESP if it make us much better and they win a cup.  Can’t keep stashing guys and not winning cups. That formula ain’t worked yet.

Ya. We all know you are willing to mortgage the farm for a 2 month rental. The issue that you aren’t really accounting for is 5 out of 7 of those guys won’t see nhl ice for a few years. Outside of Pono and maybe FUS(who I could see jumping the AHL from what we saw this pre-season), even Perets needs AHL time. They will become our core over time. 

We have plenty of other good prospects that are serviceable for a 2 month INJURED and Injury prone rental who will need time adjusting to our system. Not our high end prospects. Thats why I’d prefer Buch who I think we can get for a much more reasonable price and he’s got a year left on his contract.

Also we have to think, we only have 5 forwards and 3 blue liners signed next year. I’m not counting Staal because honestly if we win a cup I think he may retire, if we don’t I’m still not sure he’s gonna finish this contract though he’d probably stay around for 1 more year. Now is the perfect time to slot it in Pono and someone like FUS.

If it wins us a cup...heck I am!   Buch would be good too though.  Prob would be cheaper and have term.

If we want to go “all in” I’d go for Buch and Vatrano. Issue with Vatrano or Zegres for that matter is the ducks have filled their allotment of retention so any deal for them would be at full price without a partner. I just don’t like what I’m hearing out of the Guentzel market, as cool as it would be to have him here for the run, floated about what Vancouver offered which is massive. Hoglander, 2x prospect and a first is the highest rumor I saw so far.

I don't want to mortgage our future for Guentzel.  He is now "the top" forward, but I don't know if he gets us over the top.  He's good, but we also have to remember he's played with Crosby most of his career....

I like Buch better with term and probably a lower cost. 

I'd also look into what Vatrano and Reilly would cost.  Reilly just hasn't found his place in Pittsburgh, maybe he could here?

I think the Penguins would want Perets BTW - they are goalie needy too.

I know some Canes fans think the "big" name forwards available are the key to a Cup, but let me just point to New Jersey last year who paid big for Timo, the biggest name available, just to lose to us in the playoffs and now are plodding through a miserable year.

Well thought out decisions are better than impulse all day, every day.  I have been happy that the Canes always seem to be in contention and I know there is a window for a cup, but I don't want stupid decisions destroying the Canes like what has happened to the Panthers. 

Give me a fair deal for Buch, kick the tires on Vatrano and Reilly, and see what you can come out with. 

Our D will be OK even if we trade TDA and we aren't getting a goalie.  We are rolling with the D and G we have.  It's all about the forwards.

Disagree, Guentzel is a playoff performer.... we need to get it done IMO

The Time is now with all the expiring contracts we have to get a guy that can push us over the top, this year is definitely our best chance to get a cup, we will still be in the playoffs next season regardless IMO but we are gonna lose some guys I don't think they will have the potential of this year's squad.

You have to think Morrow and Unger-Sorum are the possible trades.... I'd give morrow.. Unger-Sorum I would begrudgingly trade.

No way in hell I’d give up FUS. I truly think we could fit him on the 4th line next season with Pono.

I wouldn't want to either but If we are already saying hard no to Necas/Nickishin he's the only one I think with the Juice to get it done....

If he's not traded I think he makes the roster (just doubt it's on the 4th line) he's a player maker and with Turbo likely gone next season my prediction his he makes the top 6 If not traded

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
