They've got to cut around 7m in cap space, so just Hertl wouldn't get them under. Lol

We’ve aquired G Cayden Primeau from Montreal for a 2026 7th round pick. Played in 11 games last year for Montreal.

Yay aquire azz goalie

The market turned really bad for the Canes really fast. This turned out to be a terrible year to have a lot of cap space with how much the cap rose.

At this point I suspect they’ll make a hard run at Ehlers and then run everything else back.

I've heard Ehlers and Granlund. That's about it FA wise minus Orlov and Burns.

I don’t love Granlund but he’s the only 2C option out there right now. Since we have a ton of cap space I’d give him a bloated two year contract and basically pay Ehlers whatever. I’d also ship KK out for whatever and bring back Kuzy to center the fourth line.

If we can move Ghost out and bring in someone like Karlsson then I’d go ahead and do that. I also don’t hate Burns for one more year. It’s a huge no on Orlov though. Rod would have to get over himself and let Chatfield play his off side though. Otherwise you simply can’t bring Burns back because he’s a third pairing guy who needs a speedy guy like Chatfield that can bail him out.

Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Granlund - Stankoven

Carrier - Staal - Martinook

Hall - Kuznetsov - Blake

Jankowski - Robinson

Slavin - Karlsson

Nikishin - Walker

Chatfield - Burns

Morrow

Get Boeser and a 2C along with a better 2nd Goaltender please.

Where are you finding a 2G better than Freddie?

I agree, but I still think with all the draft capital Tulsky will pull off trade we never saw coming

Does anyone besides me smell something strange coming from the Florida Panthers? 

Somehow, they've succeeded in keeping 3 guys in Eckblad, Marchand, and Bennett who all would have easily commanded at least $1.5M or more on the open market.

Jus' sayin'

1.5M wouldn't be more than the respective tax difference.... it really is one hell of an advantage for Texas,Florida, and Nevada teams.

[PantherChris]

I have a feeling we will land Elhers and swing a big trade in the next few days.

 

I'm glad we didnt get Marner, heck I could see us getting both Besser and Elhers....

Stankoven long term extension almost done...

 

Won't kick in until next season.... since he wouldnt be an UFA for anther two years after this one you have to suspect the Canes get it for a bargain.

Don't forget Tennessee.  I think it's more of a bonus than an advantage.  Top talent wasn't clamoring to go to Florida when they were in the cellar, these guys want to go where opportunities to win are.  In this instance it was more important to stay together than go for the money.  And I don't know how much it balances, but the state still gets their money, its in the form of sales tax vs income tax.
