    If Pesce would sign 6x6, Carolina wouldn't be moving him. He wants max term, and he wants north of 7. If he's going to sign a reasonable deal, it'll be in Raleigh. As for the deal itself, it's absolutely perfectly constructed. No complaints there. Canes get the rD back they need, they get the pick and prospect that makes it worth while.

    Just play it out on your Xbox
    That’s the closest to reality this gets. You’re making it too much what YOU want- & not what actually will happen

    Like said above, Pesce is still in Carolina if he’d sign that deal
    He supposedly wants max term, and over $8mil per

    And you’re massively shifting around the lines to the point where it just doesn’t make sense when u think about situational hockey- and EVERY coach does
    For example: none of those forward lines are set up to take on a heavy defensive load

    Where in the world have you seen Pesce is asking for $8M? Think you definitely pulled that one out of thin air.

    tage thompson, alex tuch cant take on a heavy defence load? did you watch the past year? I am sure every one of these lines will have no problems going up against a so called "heavy defence load" and if he wants 8 mil then sure hit the market and good luck with that one

    No, i don’t think Tage is very good- or even “good” defensively
    And I’d rather have his line focusing on offense instead of trying to shut down other teams’ top lines


    Also, i didn’t say Pesce will get that
    But if that’s what he’s asking for, then he’s not gonna sign an extension for 25% less per year
    He’d go to free agency and at least see what’s out there before making a decision

    Anyone who tells you Pesce is asking for $8M is a moron. Use some common sense.

    I'm guessing it's 8 years that he want's at like 6.5-7. Canes have never been quick on signing super long term deals for guys nearing 30 and that's probably the hold up on his extension.

    So since you can’t produce any sort of proof of your claim of “dozens” of Canes’ fans saying Pesce wants $8M you resort to cliche insults?

    Hilarious and sad at the same time.
