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.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
