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....

And this price tag should look very reasonable in 4-5 years.

Just doing the simple math with this year's cap of 114m that's 3rd liner money.....

If he never improves its a fair deal.... if he is a middle 6 50 point guy it's a steal.

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.

What's up with Karlsson?

I saw one quote from a guy on X speculating and then others joined in discussing. My response is the same every time Karlsson’s name comes up regarding the Canes-

Nope.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
