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.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
