I don't know if Toronto is a cup winner yet. Getting there.

No need to sift back. My takeaway after a bazillion of these and ALL of the hockey media constantly drumming about how EK to Pitt was moving down the tracks was that is was only a matter of time and arrangement. I can't imagine a single person being surprised this happened. Don't really care about the actual pieces myself.

Kind of feel like Montreal came out better than anyone. And that's coming from a Canes fan.

A million trade scenarios with EK to Pitt kind of disagrees with you. Probably finished ahead of the Nylander trades. Even the Pesce to Buffalo ones.

Thread: They gave up half their roster

As a Canes fan, we all saw this coming, but not quite the deal expected. Impressed that Pitt was able to move the contracts they did but shocked that they got so little retention AND had to retain on Petry. They actually added salary? Looks like a minor move gets Guentzel activated, but what sticks out to me is the depth getting a bit hammered here. I can see why Waddell backed out. Not paying $10M a year for the next four years for this guy. This goes either really well or really bad.

Thread: Ayyyy Caramba Guentzy LTIR

You're going to need Guentzel's cap space when he returns a few weeks into the season. You can't use it to acquire other roster players. No one is going to help you clear space when Guentzel is healthy again. Take it from a Canes fan. We had to leave a $7M hole in our roster until January last season for Patches for that very same reason. You will have to survive a bit without Guentzel. The EK trade will have to happen another way.

Thread: Thanks Jake

What happens when it's time to activate Guentzel a few weeks into the season and you haven't "figured it out"? Teams aren't going to be lining up to help you out without a serious premium to pay. That excludes any team in the east.

That is one sick set of centers you got lined up there. Assuming you're just clowning around. Eric Staal be like "I'm a 1C again." Paul Statsny be like "Hey...".

Thread: I thought Tarasenko was supposed to be a Carolina Hurricane

I get it. I saw all of the reports, too. Like I said. Very erroneous. Anyone who reported that he was signed or intending to sign was premature. Not like we haven't seen this kind of thing before. Old news as far as I'm concerned. We're already 1,000 bad Pesce-Nylander trades into the wind...

Seemed like a troll but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. There was a lot of confusion over what happened and then they shed some light on the situation this afternoon.

Thread: I thought Tarasenko was supposed to be a Carolina Hurricane

Not sure why this matters anymore, but that initial report was apparently very erroneous. Shocker. From Waddell's comments the other day, seems they moved on after that. Now the hockey media has 'corrected' their earlier reports about the Canes offer. Evidently we offered 1 year at less than $4M. No wonder he fired his agent. I think that's hysterical though. Waddell be like "here's 3.X for 1 year Tank'y. If that doesn't work, I'm sure a nice Canadian team will offer more". I joke but evidently they were only interested if he came at a bargain. Very telling.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>What do you consider value for Drury?

I could be wrong but I don't think this is going to be another case of "Foegele" or "Bean". I believe they will hang onto him for a bit or, if they do decide to trade him, he will be a piece in a package for a big fish. Just my hunch. Don't see a one-off. The return wouldn't be worth it.

Thread: The Canes Dont Actually Need to Move Any Defensemen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>I wouldn't say that there should've been "zero" interest. Just like Pacioretty, it was a totally free shot for no draft assets. Thing is, though, I wonder if the Canes genuinely can chase a longer-term add if teams like St. Louis/Nashville/Pittsburgh/Washington further crater by the trade deadline.</div></div>

I just said "I" had zero interest. I know the Canes did, but after the initial attempt fizzled seems they moved on. There is something to be said for waiting through the season for an opportunity to arrive, but I know that Waddell likes to take care of business in the off-season if at all possible. I would try to pursue that trade now. If the deal isn't right, then patience, but I think this team should try to head into the season opener with the team they really want. And at the moment, there are defensive pieces that will likely change.
