Thread: Hamilton
You realize that $7M x 7 in MTL is worse than what Krug got because MTL has one of the highest tax rates in the league, right? It’s basically the same as 8-8.5M in Carolina.

Additionally, hilarious that the narrative of Dundon not being a spender is still be peddled out there, not just by this comment but by the media. If Dundon and Waddell want Dougie, they will pay what it takes. Also, they have been a cap ceiling team the past two years...so where does that fit with this comment?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>from what I have heard

Carolina wants Hamilton to sign a Krug deal

what they dont realize is hes very stingy with contract negotiations

thats why Boston moved him all those years ago

from what Friedman mentioned his representatives are asking for Pitrangelo money and term

gonna be watching it unfold as Carolinas GM and owner really aint much of a spender</div></div>

Thread: could this work
Is the reason for Skjei being so polarizing the fact that he played on New York, that he makes a decent chuck of AAV, that he makes some mistakes, or something else I’m missing?

I feel much better about the Canes defense when Skjei is in there. The Jake Mistakes (Gardiner &amp; Bean) and Joakim Ryan don’t exactly do it for me on the left side behind Slavin right now. Kulak/Gardiner/Vatanen might be the worst 4-6 in the entire league based on this post.

When I watch the games, Skjei stands out to me as a great skating, physical guy who can win board battles and isn’t muscled out of position on defense. He’s one of the better PK’ers I’ve seen too and he can eat 22-25 mins a night. He is turnover prone, but I don’t see a ton of 4/5 defenders in the league who are not. He’s a great fit in Carolina.

Thread: A rental in case Rossi needs some time
I appreciate your confidence in my ability to understand next years rules. It’s really not a hard equation...Svech, Dougie, Goalie and a bunch of depth players. If the Canes can’t get that done with close to 30M in cap space, then I guess we are screwed. That doesn’t even count whomever Seattle takes to n the XD (Skjei, Bean, Gardiner, etc). Filling out a roster of depth players will not be a daunting challenge.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>dont bother trying to explain this. The taxi squad will be gone next year and he thinks he can fly in AHLers around the country when there is an injury and only carry 20 players (and that somehow when a player is called up their salary doesnt count).

i wouldnt say its cap hell, but they will have to make sacrifices. 29.5 million in cap space and only 11 players signed.</div></div>
