Hall and Mikko will play tonight for the Canes as well. 
 

The Canes will have 35-40m in cap space to fill out the team. Mikko wants 8x14m, give it to him. Let burns and Orlov walk and play nikishin and the younger guys on defense and/or make a smart signing in FA. 


go get a goalie and fill out the rest of the wingers with 10-12m in cap space. 

I have a feeling burns will be back on a one year deal   If he plays less minutes, I’m all for it.  Nikishin and Morrow will be up next year to replace Orlov and maybe Walker. 
 

Depending on how Freddie does in the playoffs, it will be him and koochie or someone else and koochie. 
 

we still need a center.  Badly. If that’s one of prospects, wonderful, if not, I fully expect them to go get a good one. $30 plus mill is a ton to work with. Esp when we already have a solid core. 
 

and yes, I fully expect moose to sign with us. We have the money. Pay him. Yo I don’t get top 6 to top 10 NHL players often. We now have one. Better than anyone on this team in including aho. Better than Guentzel. On par with prime Eric Staal. A true ELITE star.

They could put Mikko on the second line and run something like this and fix the center issue. 
 

Sevch - Aho - Blake

Hall - Mikko - Jarvis

Marty - Staal - Jaaska 

Robinson - KK - Roslovic

That’s four strong lines imo and Jost and Carrier coming back for the playoffs gives some movement wing wise.

I think we bring Burns back on a team friendly deal if he doesn't retire.

Definitely a possibility for sure, I was just saying that even if they give Mikko 14m AAV, they would have 9 forwards, 4 defenseman and 1 goalie with 26m in cap space left over. If Nikshin comes over like expected then that’s 5 defenseman plus a ton of youth that should be ready to come up.

I just hope we keep our farm system top tier with the new GM. It is such a nice thing to have guys constantly coming up and contributing.

Yeah, Rantanen is arguably a superstar level player, which we don't have.

It's not really arguable he's been Mckinnons Draisaitl.... top 5 in points the last five years, 55 goal season will probably have his fourth 40+ this year. 

 

He's a superstar he was PPG plus even with Mckinnon out.

 

We have that now.

 

This guy CAN SCORE

KK seems like an obvious option to move but he really has to start humming so we can sell high like we did with Necas. I love Necas but I don't think you will see him blossom into a consistent 100 point scorer like Rantanen is.

I think he has a shot of that in Colorados system him feeding Mcdavid he's gonna rack up assists. Rantanen is a pure goal scorer who can also distribute he won't get Rantanen numbers but I could see him putting up 30 50 with Colorado

Robinson and Roslovic are both UFAs after this season.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
