I didn't say he's a bad player.  But he's signed through 36 years old.  I just said I'm not sure about it.

Hes a big physical center, great shot and playmaker below/between the dots excellent PP and bumper player.... 

His game isn't likely to dissappear with four years of age....

 

This is just 2m more than useless KK.  2C is a HUGE whole and he is one of the better 2Cs.

Tulsky out on Marner since he wants short term. So trying to facilitate a trade with either Vegas or Dallas to help them clear space to sign Marner. 

 

Vegas would be Hertl and Dallas would be for Robertson. 

 

Either deal is contingent on the other team being confident enough that they will be the team to win the Marner sweepstakes. 

 

Edit to add: 

 

Vegas deal seems 95% likely to happen shortly. A few Wolves players and draft picks for Hertl the current deal.

30 isnt the same in the NHL as the NFL....

A big physical 2C who can give you 30+ goals would move us a lot closer to a cup than a wing IMO.

 

 

True but he wouldn't be the first physical C that falls off in his early 30's.  Look at David Backes.  https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/backeda01.html

Short term would almost make Marner more appealing for me if I'm the Canes GM.  If it doesn't work out, you're not stuck with some albatross contract.  If it does workout, nobody's gonna be mad about winning a cup.  Everyone loses pieces when that happens.

Not against a deal for Hertl.  The contract length gives me some pause, but ~6.5MM AAV (after SJ retained %) probably isn't a big deal if we have some dead years at the end of that.  But yeah, could potentially be another KK situation where we have a useless player stuck on our payroll if he falls off a cliff.

If this is purely a salary dump and nothing of value goes the other way, I think it's probably worth that risk.

It was purely a salary dump with the biggest piece going to Vegas was a 3rd. Seems dead for now though. Dunno if Hertl vetod the trade with his move clause or not.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
