Ethan bear got traded

Canes will have $5.5m of cap space (including LTIR salary pool) for trades now. This would be even with Patches back

But I thought young top 4RHD were extremely valuable, and Bear was being scratched for trade protection

And he didn’t cost the 2nd round pick that many Canes fans kept saying it would cost

Guys like Canoas were WAY off 🤣🤣🤣

"Quoting: Caniac2000
He's being trade protected, why would you play a guy that wants out when you are carrying 7 other D men and can protect him? It makes no sense unless you get plagued by injuries. Come to terms with that, it's a fact. It's asset management.

Nah, I think after an injury like that and long term covid, you let him rest and don't expose him to reinjuring that ankle and lowering his trade value even more.

Interesting, you should look at the game logs from the start of last year when he played with Slavin"


"K let me know when you get assets for your prized possession that is so special we must not play him. I'll be waiting.

Cheers."


My bad @caniac2000 I'm ready to admit I was wrong. Bear did have value as long as there was some salary retention and an AHL/NHL tweener attached to him.

Wait really? Don't really know how all the LTIR relief stuff works for when someone comes off of it.
