Thread: Eichel next summer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>A conditional 2nd is FMV for Korpi - good G, small but stellar playoff record, no injury concerns, is cheap, and is not 472 years old.

We’re three games into the season and as of right now, Koskinen and Bob would be Vezina finalists, which is not going to hold over 40-50 starts. Might not for Korpi either, but for as much badgering as people on this forum want to do, if any team needs any change in G at or before the trade deadline, Korpi is likely your best option.



Yeah, a 1st is pretty optimistic - he’d have to play at the 70+ point level he did a few seasons back. FWIW, he did look phenomenal those few games before he got injured.</div></div>

You say Bob won't be a Vezina candidate? The dude is known for either sucking or winning the thing

Thread: All in for the cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>1. That 10 minutes of EV TOI did wonders for TDA in the second game against Nashville.

Yeah, that's first pairing material alright.



2. Lorentz having too much upside to send down when he was dead last in ice time against Nashviile.

We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here LOL.



3. Pesce always the 2RD after being 1st in EV TOI among RDs?

Looks like someone needs to spend another 24 years watching the Canes lmao.



4. Circle of Life.


5. Watch them again.</div></div>

1) Game was very stop start, with a lot of defensive zone starts, not gonna use TDA there. It's why Cole and Bear got so much ice time :awesome

2) Lorentz also doesn't kill penalties or play on the powerplay. He makes far better plays than the other member of his line, they just play PK :tearsofjoy

3) Pesce and Skjei's pairing played the most! Yes! Because TDA's not trusted to play defensive zone minutes! So they start the 2nd pairing! Easy to follow if you watch Hockey!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>1. No, you really don't understand.

After getting wrecked for making TDA a 1st pairing defenceman, you're now mad and wanting to lash out at the guy that wrecked you.



2. Send any forward of your choosing to the AHL to make room for Kampf.

Spend a 4th or 5th round pick on a Top 6 D man capable of playing top 4 minutes and PK time and that is making less than 2 million because they are a dime a dozen.

Recognize that Gardiner is out for the season on LTIR, giving the Canes 1.7 million in cap relief.

You're welcome.



3. So, we've gone from TDA being a top pairing D-man to now being a Top 4 D-man??

Your hedging is pathetic.



4. At least one of the four players you listed will be leaving in the off-season and Kampf's cap hit is only 1.5 million.

Circle of life.



5. So, you've watched the Canes since the late '90s.

As if what happened with the Canes back then is somehow relevant in the year 2021.

If you watched them for another 24 years, you might get up to speed.

But even then ...</div></div>

1) TDA IS FIRST PAIRING, he's played 92.5% of his ES minutes with Slavin!

2) There's no extra forwards on the roster that have a buriable cap hit. Lorentz is the only one and he's go too much upside to send down. Jarvis would have to go to the WHL and couldn't be recalled.

3) HE'S TOP PAIRING, Pesce is always the 2RD, because they always split him and Slavo up!

4) Two are RFA's and 2 are top-six forwards. They'll attempt to bring them all back, even if Nino goes, you still have to pay Kotkaniemi.

5) I've watched them my entire life and you're acting like you know the organization you've only started watching this season forever. Like you own them, it's funny. Maybe just leave it to people that watch EVERY single Canes game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>1. From this trade, 1.65 million of Ian Cole's cap hit goes out the door while Carolina takes on the 1.5 million cap hit from David Kampf.

If anything, Carolina is gaining cap space.



2. Ian Cole is a pending UFA while David Kampf is not.



3. Ian Cole is a 6th/7th defenceman that is expendable.

With Skjei and Slavin on the left side, Carolina is fine.



4. Carolina is getting both Kampf and a 2nd round pick for Ian Cole.

When was the last time Ian Cole was ever worth a second?



5. I hear Rod the Bod is going to make TDA a 1st pairing defenceman any day now :sarcasm</div></div>

Okay, you really don't understand this do you. They have less than 100k with Kampf, fine. But they still have to replace Cole (A top 6 D man capable of playing top 4 minutes and pk time) with no money! This has nothing to do with Skjei, Slavin or TDA! All of which are currently top 4 D men on the Canes. This also has nothing to do with their contract status. This makes Carolina a weaker team NOW, when they're competing for the cup. It's also more money freed up to re-sign Trocheck, Bear, DeAngelo and Niederreiter. This is an easy no.

But no, you know better than someone who's watch the Carolina Hurricanes for 24 years :sarcasm

Thread: Cheviarelli is wondering if this is fair
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>I think you need to come up with a better argument. Ville is always been touted by many to be a great prospect who projects as a T4 prospect. He was (rumoured) to be the one most sought after at the TDL and was called by a few (quantified) as the best prospect north of the border. He was one of the best players in the recent IIHF tournament and has always excelled at every level he has played.</div></div>

Heimosalmi and Morrow (Morrow in particular) has the ceiling of a top pairing defenseman. He's aware at both ends of the ice, and has the ability to move the puck like few others. His issue is that his floor is below the ECHL. He could very well not play professional hockey. He was rated by EP as someone that could have gone in the 1st round.

Heimosalmi was the player the Canes took with the pick they got for Jake Bean. He's been rumored to hav at minimum a 3rd pairing floor and being closer to NHL ready than many defenseman from his draft class.

That said, this is stupid. Scott Wheeler called Seth Jarvis the best prospect outside of the NHL last year. He was a point per game in 2 different leagues, and he's 19. He's already on the fringes of the NHL roster, and will make his debut pretty soon here. They're not going to move THAT kind of player for someone that's been in the rumor mill already. And if anyone wanted him (Heinola) that badly, he'd be on a new team by now.
