Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Canes don't really need goaltending. Our organizational MO has been to prioritize spending huge sums on two-way forwards and defensemen so that the team isn't overly reliant on goaltending. The deadline was a great example of this. Instead of getting Lehner when our two goalies got hurt, they got Trocheck, Skjei, and Vatanen.</div></div>

Noted great defensive players Vatanen, Skjei and Trocheck. They got 3 scorers at the deadline, and that's been the case recently, look at Haula, Dzingel, Gardiner. They want to outscore teams, not shut teams out. They may spend on a goalie, but THIS much on a goalie whos been THAT bad? Nah thanks

Thread: Next year with compliance buyout

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>No, it really isn't a "disaster" waiting to happen. It's called being careful with your prospects. If he performs well enough, he can get promoted to a better role or, alternatively, dealt as the major piece in a right-now player deal. Wallmark performed well enough in his 4C role here to get a shot as the 3C in Florida next season.</div></div>

Wallmark preformed well enough as a 2C in Jordan's Staal's 3 month absence last year he got a shot as the 3C in Florida. Guys get given shots for performing. Geekie gets top 9 ice time, end of it. Rod clearly likes him

Thread: Next year with compliance buyout

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>If that's the case, I don't think that they should use the compliance buyout on Staal until the very last minute, right before the expansion draft. He's valuable to our team for at least the next year. That should give Geekie a full year as the 4th line center to adjust to the league full-time.</div></div>

Using a skill player in a grinder role is a disaster waiting to happen. We've seen him play in the NHL, and he looks fine, you can move Marty up worst case scenario, but Geekie needs a top 9 role to come up, which means either a 4C making 6 mil, or buying staal out. That's a no-brainer decision

Thread: Next year with compliance buyout

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Last CBA, they gave teams a 2-year window to use a comp buyout. If they give one out post-COVID-19, they will very likely do the same. The Canes can then trade for a player with sweeteners, use their services for the season, and then buy them out the next year when Svech gets his massive extension. We have the cap space to do it, and thanks to Dundon we now have the funds, so we might as well take full advantage.</div></div>

I suggest reading the CBA again,, a compliance buyout can only be used on a player that was acquired before the deadline in Feburary for any given year, it was to force teams to subtract from their roster and create a fair playing field so teams cannot trade for bad contracts to get out from scotfree. You cannot trade for a player and use a compliance buyout on them. Staal's deal is illegal anyway, buy it out, and get out from under it now. We don't need Staal.

Thread: Next year with compliance buyout

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>I'd personally keep Skjei instead of dealing him for a pending UFA because that long-term control could be quite valuable if he steps up his game with us. I'd also much rather use the compliance buyout to generate another prospect or pick than to waste it on a not-terrible contract like Staal.</div></div>

Can't, for a comp buyout, you need to have the players contract by the deadline

Thread: canes - buyout and first-seen trade

What is this trade? Geekie has been a stud in his 2 NHL games, why would they move a cost controlled option for someone as streaky as Evander Kane? Nino's defensive game is far better than that of Kanes, and in general the Assets you're giving up are better than what you're getting back. This is just not a deal that works.

Thread: A Crazy Idea for a Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>The question is not Aho or Tavares, but Aho AND Tavares. Getting elite players, no matter the position, and figuring out how to fit them later is a good way to run a hockey team. The debate that I was having was if moving Aho away from the faceoff circle would be beneficial to the team if an elite centerman like Tavares was acquired, or if it is better for Aho to stay at 1C and Tavares to be assigned to 2C.</div></div>

It doesn't matter. Aho is a C, he's played on the wing during the season and his numbers have gone down the toilet. He's a C now, he's playing his natural position. He's staying there because it's whats best for him. That means Tavares isn't needed. I think you're better off targeting a winger

Thread: A Crazy Idea for a Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>It isn't hindering to the Canes at all, if you go by Dom L.'s GSVA (game score value added) score. Slavin and Trocheck, when combined, has approximately the same GSVA as Tavares by himself. Tavares has a better GSVA than Aho by about .4. At the very worst, you would have an elite 1-2-3 C combo if you keep Aho at 1C, potentially competitive with Pittsburgh or Edmonton's group. In what way is the trade that I proposed detrimental to the team?</div></div>

If you go by RAPM, Slavin is one of the best D men in the league and trocheck is a top 6C. Aho is also better defensively than Tavares. This makes no sense, not for Tavares. I like the idea, but the target is wrong

Thread: A Crazy Idea for a Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Tavares is an upgrade on Aho in terms of pure centermen responsibilities, particularly on faceoffs. Putting Aho and Tavares on the same line frees up Aho to keep scoring goals at an elite level while reducing the amount of faceoffs that he needs to take. If you want to keep Aho at the #1 center spot, you can move Tavares down to #2 center, Staal to #3 center, and then nix the Bonino/Dzingel swap.</div></div>

Aho is a natural C and is better offensively, and at everything a C does between whistles. There is no need for Tavares. We have a 1C, this is incredibly hindering for the team

Thread: After the dust settles

Carolina laugh you away. A top pairing shutdown RHD and a top line winger on a STEAL of a contract for someone making WAY too much, and that's going to expire at the same time as Aho? Big pass. Both Canes contracts are insanely good, Marner's is insanely bad. HARD pass.

Thread: A Crazy Idea for a Trade

Maybe for Matthews, but not Tavares. Tavares isn't exactly an upgrade on Aho, Aho would be the 2C playing his natural C position. People forget he played C for Karpat, and for Finland, he is a C. Svech and TT on one set of wings, Nino and Necas on the other is interesting, but Slavin isn't moving

Melnyk cheaps out all the time, he wants to pay as little as he can, and Gabroik helps that. On the other hand, Dundon wants to spend as much as he can to help the team, this makes no sense in either regard.
