Guentzel (re-sign) - Aho - Jarvis (re-sign)

Svechnikov - Kuznetsov - Vet FA

Martinook (re-sign) - Kotkaniemi  - Fast

Nadeau - Drury (re-sign) - Noesen (re-sign)

Vet FA


Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield (re-sign)

Skjei (re-sign) - Morrow

Vet FA


Andersen

Kochetkov

-------------------------

With the departure of Necas, TT and Staal retiring, there's plenty of cap space. The first domino is Guentzel, obviously. If he doesn't want to stick around, I think the priority then becomes Necas, TT or finding yet another goal scorer.

Necas is restricted if Staal doesn't return we have the space to match anything.

 

Also one thing that was much more apparent to me at ice level the Hurricanes are much much faster than the islanders and I don't just mean a few players every Cane is faster just about, could have something to do with them having to be playoff mode for two weeks already bit they are slower to begin with.

I’m not a big fan of Necas. I don’t think he’s the type of player that really fits with Rod’s system. I think Necas is similar to a Skinner or Lindholm in that that he’d put up better offensive numbers in a different system but in our system he’s too streaky.

Svech looked like the best player on the ice last night imo. He’s going have a big impact this year. 

Svechnikovs game is better suited for the playoffs than regular season he's going all out his physical play driving style combined with his speed is a mismatch for the isles

I want Kuznetsov to retire as well, at this point his career he’s not a 2C and last night doesn’t change that.

He’s a streaky player that doesn’t provide anything if he’s not putting up points.

Still you don't let a player walk of his caliber without having a replacement already in hand... even when he's not making plays his speed creates space on the ice.... 

Also I agree Jarvis is a guy I don't want them to give a bridge deal sign the man now same as I said when he made the roster the man is only going to get better he's a core piece his defense matches his offense and it wouldn't shock me to see him at his natural C postion next season.

It does prove he's likely a crafty playoff acquisition he makes our fourth line a legit threat to score as well as the second PP unit....

That’s why you trade him. Rights get traded all the time with extensions in place.

For sure but he’s not a 2C and you can’t pay another 4C almost $4M, we are already paying a 3C (Kotkaniemi) almost $5M.

I have a feeling KK gets bought out or we pay someone to take 75% of his contract....  I have a feeling our top centers next year Will be 

1C Aho

2C Jarvis

If we win the cup I think Staal retires so 

3C Drury 

4C not sure

It’s possible, if he’s bought before 2026 then we only owe him a third of his contract.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
