We're not gonna win any FA sweepstakes so now we're trading for bad contracts?  Not sure about this one.

What are you smoking? Hertl will have a 6.45M cap hit for four years because san Jose retained when he went to vegas......

 

6.45M for a 30+ goal high end 2C....

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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
