You don’t need him.

You know his QO after giving him 8.4 mil would be insanely high right?

Carolina certainly has the money for next year to spend on some high end talent, although I believe the focus would be up front. 14 players already signed and 27M to spend.

I guess the real question would be is Kochetkov ready for full time minutes. But they could find a 1B solution for less than what Freddy is making right now.

Could be a very interesting offseason for them.

Everyone said that about Kotkaniemi too. "Oh Kotkaniemi will be a UFA because they won't qualify him". The entire point of negotiating with an RFA is to know roughly what ball park they will want an extension in the area of before tendering the offer sheet. Then you know what you are getting from this deal.

Please no

You could prob find a more cost effective LHD. You do have to give extensions to som key RFA and UFA.

Still upset the Rangers knocked the Canes out of last years playoffs. I understand. Going to be even worse when they do it again this year.

Shirley, the Canes can spend 8.4m better than Miller and keep their picks. If the Canes went this route, it should be a five year offer.
