He is easily our #2 defenceman. There is no reasonable scenario where I am giving that up for a JAG+, one dimensional player with an elite price tag. 

fug. That.

Eeeh I wouldnt go that far.... 

He's our #1 RHD though....

And I sure wouldn't trade his defense (which we missed sorely when he was out) for Karlsons offense.

He's got a decent bit of deferred money in his contract, AAV is actually 5.1m and not 5.62. 

I hadn't realized that ban hadn't kicked in yet. Nice it's a small risk for what I think will be a steal of a contract by year #3 

And this if anything INCREASES his value as a trade piece....

Ok so how does this make sense for Blake?  Honestly I like it for us.  I’m really high on Blake’s future like I’m sure the Canes FO is.  If he continues along the path he’s on, we’ll have a top 6 forward on a KK contract.

The last three years has a full NMC and he's got deferred money in the first 4 years totalling 14.5m and 6.8m in years 7&8. 

21.3m is due as a deferred signing bonus in 2034 when he's 30 and a ufa. 

 

So he's almost assuredly going to be here for the full 8 years no matter his performance. So he got himself 8 years of stability and a nice payday coming in 9 years.

You guys are looking at the Blake deal all wrong. He was a 4th round pick that started as a rookie. That hardly EVER happens in the NHL. 9.999/10 times he is Developing in the AHL. Tulsky isn’t dumb. He knows if Blake continues on this path, he could be dangerous. So he locks him up now to a team friendly deal.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
