Thread: Carolina Hurricanes signed Scott Morrow (3 Years / $1,158,333 AAV)

I have a question. How many games will it take to eat up the first year of his deal? Would it be if he plays at all?

No Morrow, no Nikishin, no Blake, no Nadeau, no Dragonborn...

Canes fan, I like it.
I will miss Bunts though. I loved him.

Thread: The Preds are supposedly interested in Pesce

The Canes would want a 1st and a roster guy minimum for Pesce.

Thread: quality returns for konecny and hart

That Canes deal is a no-go. Two 1sts for Konecny is already pushing it, even as good as he is, but adding in Fishy's best friend is a bridge too far.

Thread: I dont know something amazing I guess

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Backlund half retained for a 2nd, maybe add a 3rd if need be, but anymore than that is a bit much. As for the Flyers trade, they will want a bit more than that. But like the ideas. And as much as I love Patches, the most I see him getting from any team is 3mil, and I imagine the Canes will try to bring his cap hit down even lower.

Love the Incredibles reference though.</div></div>

Glad someone found the reference.

As far as Patches goes, the Canes have one year left where they can pay guys any kind of real money. The list of 2024 free agents is a horror show. I based my number off of Jordo's number, thinking that a guy coming off of a $7M contract would fetch a bit more than Jordo would.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>B_seka17</b></div><div>Awful trade for Philly. Must be 2 first rounders for Hart plus TK</div></div>

Yeah, that's fair. Would it be good enough for a guy like Tippett? As you can see I'm not great at sussing out the value of Flyers players. The guys on the Flyers I can see as adding the value the Canes need are TK, Tippett, Farabee, and Laughton. What would you say is fair value for any one of those guys?

Thread: Guesses

The only thing about that Carolina trade that's a win for Ottawa is that Debrincat might be too expensive for the Canes and the Sens get those assets without Carolina getting anything. If they can get him on a cheap bridge deal, Carolina takes that Debrincat deal and runs for the damn hills, even for that price.

Also, can you buyout retained salary deals? Murray's already gone.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nathaniel</b></div><div>Dont the Canes still have like 7 mil in cap space???</div></div>

They don't have any roster space. If they acquired another player, they'd have to either put guys on waivers or trade parts of their active roster and Carolina doesn't really want to do that.

Thread: (EDM/CAR) - Puljujärvi for Puistola

Don.
Why.

We needed a top 6 scoring center and you got us a winger who hasn't been able to score with the Oilers. Our bottom 6 is already a logjam, why are you adding another guy there? Go back and get me Sam Bennett or get Max Domi back, but for the love of all that is holy do not do this **** again.

Gunler is our best W prospect right now, though he's not great overall. It might be one of our centers Ponomarev or Rees (if not both) instead of Gunler, but I thought that the trade might match positions?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>If we can make it happen without him or Nikishin I’d be thrilled. But also not opposed to throwing one of them in for a guy like Meier.</div></div>

Oh for sure. I would hope that the Canes would be willing to dangle a top prospect for Meier, even if it's Morrow (as much as I want to hold on to him). I just think that GMDW and co value Morrow more than that. I really think it would be a forwrd prospect. San Jose's forward group is looking rather thin at present and their futures up front are even more so.

Thread: Stealing ideas - TDL

I don't think Morrow is going to be on the table for any kind of trade, not even Meier, though a prospect + a whole bunch of picks sounds good. I think it'll be a guy like Gunler or Ponomarev.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>delete this before you get blasted. that’s the most pathetic Meier deal i’ve seen yet.</div></div>

I'll be honest, the Meier deal here was an afterthought for me. I was focusing on the need for a scoring center and the fact that we could have had one if only Don actually took a risk on some rentals. It really is pathetic, but it's mainly just there to say "Oh, and get Meier too." I expect a real Meier to Carolina trade would involve Gunler and maybe a defensive prospect and then at least a 1st.

Thread: (CGY/MTL) - Monahan, conditional 2025 1st for future considerations

Okay, so it sounds like the conditions can basically be summed up like this:

If CGY 2024 1st is 20th <em>or lower</em>, then MTL has the option to take that pick. If not, or MTL doesn't take that pick, then MTL will get the earliest non-top 10 pick of whatever 1st rounders are in CGY's possession across 2025 and 2026.

I think.
Maybe.
God please don't make me wrong.

Thread: (CAR/SJS) - Lorentz, Mäkiniemi and conditional 2023 3rd rd pick for Burns, Pederson

I think this was one of the rare trades that one team won and the other lost, but that both teams can feel good about. My Canes didn't give up too much for a great offensive righty and got SJ to retain some of that ghastly contract he signed, but SJ clears cap space and gets a great young guy in Stevie and a Mak seems like a decent goalie prospect.

Mainly that LTIR isn't in use in the offseason and that even when Gardiner is on the roster we have cap room to re-sign Necas and maybe Bear too.

Thread: Some French peasant challenged me on Discord

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zuki9797</b></div><div>assuming 30M with 2 elcs?
slavin is too expensive for a small cap team like that... he alone takes up 17.67% of the cap (like someone making nearly 15M with an 81.5M cap). replace him and kahkonen for campbell and fox. frees up 3.45M in cap
then you can replace vanecek for another cheap goalie considering campbell can do fairly well alone, like stolarz. adds ~250K in cap but its fine
then theres room to add another ELC, so get rid of lorentz and add zegras

Milano - Zegras - Terry :0
Barabanov - Barbashev - Hartman
Bunting - Heinen - Pulju (hope that one of them can play C, because i believe that none of them should be on the fourth line below nicolas roy)
Lorentz - Lundestrom - Evans

Bean - Fox
Whitecloud - Deangelo
Stanley - Hakanpaa

Campbell
Stolarz</div></div>

The challenge was 30M, 23 players, *no* ELCs. Lorentz and Vancek are both off theirs.
Although going with Campbell would have been absolutely the right way to go.
