Thread: Tarasenko Karlsson AND Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Based on the free agency he just had, I don't see Allvin giving into what Pesce's contract demands could be. Signing a 30 year old to his last big payday doesn't make much sense when you've got a bluechip prospect in your organization how profiles to fill a somewhat similar role. That said, I do think Pesce is more durable than most other players of the same mold, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't still be without significant risk</div></div>

I know what the sentiments among the fanbase are, but I just wonder about Vancouver's ownership and the urgency that they may feel with Pettersson entering his prime years and the pending extension talks. It feels like they finally want playoffs after years of stagnation even if it isn't the smartest play for their organization.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DumplingAndChase</b></div><div>You might be wrong.

Yes, Seth Jarvis is an amazing young player. He might have a 20 goal season one day. He isn't signed, and Connor has had a 44 goal season on a sweet deal. He's worth 3 firsts by himself.

And signing Pesce for 8 years is a mistake</div></div>

I think that Jarvis is well capable of one day being a 30 goal scorer, though I see him as more like a rich man's Ehlers than a Connor-type. Because of the difficulties that I know Winnipeg has with UFAs, I sort of wrote that proposal as an on-purpose overpay to finally secure that top-pairing right-handed defenseman that I'm sure the Winnipeg brass has long coveted. On that contract, Pesce will at least give 4 seasons of great defensive play for any team that he plays for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You may right about Faulk....a one time incident four years ago. But the the return one Faulk was a lot less than what you expect from the Jets....their two best wingers Plus a can't see Peace being great trade value when he next contract starts at almost the age of 30. Plus the fact that New York State native Pesce probably has no desire to play in Winnipeg.</div></div>

There's a huge difference between the Faulk trade and this proposal: Seth Jarvis and Philly's (very high) 2nd. In fact, the whole reason why I wrote this trade is because I thought that the Jets would covet Jarvis enough to give up their actually-premium trade pieces for. Canes don't have a real need for Dubois with Kotkaniemi developing well, but we do have a need for the skillsets that Connor and Ehlers provide, especially Connor.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Really? a I really can't think of a time it's happened, when a player who is under contract for a full year, is given permission to negotiate with another team for his next contract. The silliness is that the Cup contending Canes tell a key player to "Hurry up and sign an extension so we can trade you. Of course if you can't come to an agreement, you are welcome back as Cane." No, it's crazy. Even crazier is for the Jets to sign a Dman who will be almost 30 years of age when the eight year contract starts.</div></div>

It is almost exactly what happened, note for note, with Justin Faulk three seasons ago. The Canes gave permission for Faulk and his team to negotiate an extension with interested teams. The Ducks, the Blues, and an undisclosed third team agreed to terms on an identical contract, but the Ducks backed away at the last minute because of disagreements regarding the conditional picks related to Kase's concussions, leading the Blues to acquire Faulk in a trade-and-sign. The Pesce negotiations are likely to reach the same conclusion if the Canes don't extend themselves.
