Initial Creation Date: Mar. 30, 2024
Published: Mar. 30, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
1.) Kotkaniemi contract is becoming one of the worst in the league, and he’s getting passed by people like Drury and Canes are in a win now window. Keep guentzel would be a priority imo. Orlov is pretty even value i think but swapping him and Mario just gives them better cap space. So the trade becomes Orlov for Mario straight up then Kotkaniemi and a first for kunin. Caniac3000 and that person with red wolf(?) pfp I hear your objections and understand Kotkaniemi still has promise and canes wouldnt want to move on / would rather move staal, but staal has an NMC.
Idk if I would take Kotkaniemi under any circumstances tbh but just wanted to get Orlov, taking a bad contract that long is not the type of dump that Grier has been looking for.
2.) Pageu cap dump to give islanders management wiggle room.

3.) Smith and Levshunov on Cuda.

4.) I dont think couture will play again, but wanted to include hm to mix it up.

Canes reject. Not that I’m a huge KK fan. I do think he could be traded, but Orlov is a better player than Mario and moving one for the other doesn’t solve anything. I don’t think the Canes plan to re-sign Pesce.

I think the Canes could move KK if they wanted without paying to do so.

Btw - Kunin isn’t good.

If I’m being honest - there are as many Canes fans on my ignore list as any other fan base

Canes trade makes sense. But maybe a 1st is too much to ask.

I'd rather have Sturm than Pageau but the picks are tempting.

Nice job overall. Need to sign some top 4 D UFA's.

I do think that KK has been a major let down, but I do think that some team will take him as a non cap dump given his salary is not THAT bad because of the accolades his draft status gives him

I mean it makes sense I guess, but there is no shot Carolina dumps Kotkaniemi with a first

As much as I love Mario, Orlov is probably the better player, so I think the trade is super lopsided

Not worth it for the cap space?

Nope. This is an unpopular opinion amongst Canes fans, but Pesce can walk. It won’t be comfortable but they have plenty options without paying for it.

Orlov may be slightly better, but Mario is half the price and under contract for an additional year.

That said, I like Mario and hope he stays with the Sharks. I only try and trade him on here occassionally because he's one of the few Sharks with decent trade value.

Hmm, i considered him walking, and still thought you might need space to sign Necas Jarvis Drury and Guentzel. I also agree that Orlov is better but part of that value was how bad the kk contract is looking right now. I dont think the canes would do this trade however because of the first. They have shown they can compete meaningfully with him. So if they can fit the contracts just by letting pesce walk than the trade idea doesnt make much sense.

Rentfree

Yeah, Canes laugh. Orlov is by FAR the most valuable piece in that deal, and you want KK too? You gotta keep adding.

I'd be ok with a base of KK and Ferraro, but I'd rather hang onto Orlov and maybe just add a prospect or something instead.

Not living in our heads rent free, we just know your an unreasonable crazy fan that overvalued his own players and undervalues everyone else’s.
You’re the butt of many ACGM posts because of how ridiculously unreasonable you can be.

I am simply the voice of a fanbase that seems to get constantly disrespected. If you're on here trying to make jokes, I feel bad for how your life must be and hope you get help!

Lol yea living in reality is rough, I am crazy I keep giving the bank my money and they keep telling me it’s for my mortgage whatever that is. And these weird little people follow me around wanting to play with me and they want me to make them dinner. And this woman gets in my bed every nights saying something about being my wife. It’s a weird life

Why would the Isles do this??? So we give up a 3C who puts up around 35-40 pts a year for a guy who puts up around 20? and we give up 2nd and 3rd rounders??? LOL...no thanks.
