We should trade KK to the Sharks.  They need to spend money.  We don't want KK.  It's a win/win trade.

Should the Canes go after Rossi?

[Anybodyhome]

I wouldn't mind a deal that would add Rust or Rakell from the Pens. Move Jarvy to 2C, send KK and a prospect to Pittsbhrgh.

Pittsburgh is taking calls for both. And both of them have played very well against Carolina.

The Canes were talking to them about both before Ehlers signed.

The Wild say they’re gonna match any offer.  I don’t know what the deal would have to look like to keep them from matching, but I would suspect it would be steep.

I like everything except Jarvy to 2C. Size is an issue, but his FO% is atrocious! Leave him on the wing where he excels in almost every aspect we ask of him.

Jarvy at 2C is literally the best option on the roster for that position. Another season coming where the 2nd biggest need on the team has not been addressed.

Just eat 60% of KK's salary and move him.

FO are somthing that you can work to fix.....

 

Jarvis is a worker. No doubt that by the end of the year he would have it around 50% 

 

His % is bad because hes going agaist top guys after aho gets the boot and a low number taken.

Yes we are weak at 2C,  I wouldnt say C overall just we have Aho and then 3 guys who should be third Cs.....

 

If we dont aquire someone I suspect we will finally see Jarvis at center this year.

 

I see what you mean with Freddie, and I agree to an extent I think we should limit his regular season starts and focus on keeping him healthy for the playoffs.   

He has been very good in the post season contrary to what some casuals think we DID not lose because of Freddie....  2.02 GAA and a .907 % 

We lost to florida because our small offensive D men couldn't keep the Panthers from parking right in front of him.

 

very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.

Also don't forget he's been playing with a busted shoulder for a few years now. Slides out of socket and has to be popped back in. That can't help the face off numbers either.

That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

That is another thing--Staal (to me) seems like a liability.  I figured hockey experts would blast me for saying it, but when I heard the name, I expected more.  I realize that he is old and probably serves as a leader and mentor--and he is usually good at face offs, but I struggle to see him as an asset--maybe I need to learn the game better.

He's pretty damn good defensively, 55% fo center and still a half point per game player at 36. 

98% defensive EV and 61% WAR player if going into advanced stats.
