Late

So were you lol

[TheCandyMan]

Forgot about Rossi

Trip mentioned Larkin on the gold show as a possible target...

Another good thing about Ehlers is he can play both wing spots. So if they do try Jarvis at 2c, team would look like this. 

 

Svechnikov - Aho - Ehlers

Hall - Jarvis - Blake 

Martinook - Staal - Stankoven 

Robinson - KK - Carrier

 

Slavin - Miller

Nikishin - Chatfield 

Ghost - Walke

 

Andersen 

Kotchekov 

 

 

Does that get past Florida tho...

Ye of little faith.....

I have confidence in the Canes FO and coaching staff.  I will miss Burnsy, but it was probably the right decision.  He lost a step and a half last year for sure.

SJ overpaid Orlov who never really fit here, which I found odd but whatever.

We have cap space, some movable parts, and some young guys in the system who may surprise.  I like where we are....just gotta beat Florida!

Well I'm happy with Ehlers, and I'm cautiously optimistic about Miller improving under RBA.  I know we're probably not done, but I'm glad we aren't just running it back.

I think Miller fits our D-core better than he did with the Rangers.  I think Gleason and our system will make him better.

I am excited for Ehlers personally. 

[Rocky Davis]

I wonder if the Canes would go after Vilardi from the Jets?  He had a really nice season, just don't know if he fits as a 2C.

Tulsky putting in work. I like both the Miller deal and this one. 8.5m AAV for Ehlers is lot less than I expected. 

In fairness you pretty consistently OVERESTIMATE what extensions and signings will be.... 

Last year you were swearing the Elhers # would be Jarvis. 

 

In the future just take a 1 to 1.5 off what you think will happen

Rumors where that NY offered him 7.5-8m and he immediately told them no. A few other teams offered similar deals to the NY one and that Washington was willing to go over 9m AAV to sign Ehlers, so kinda why I expected it to be higher. However fair enough.

Miller has a new number with the Canes. #19.

At least they didn't get the chance to offer Bouchard 11.5-12m AAV. Lol 

 

But no never get sticker shock on deals. I used to be much better at this when I had sources with the Panthers and Hurricanes.  But alas everything good must come to an end. lol

A sneaky weak spot is going to be our goal tender situation. I dont believe in Kooch and Anderson cant stay in net forever.
