Thread: Hurricane Time

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>"For the year" is doing a lot of work here, what about next year? Does this do cap magic for then too?</div></div>

I would bet money that Gards isn't out for the year. According to Adam Gold, a decently reliable source for Canes info, Carolina wants Gardiner to get a back surgery but Gardiner doesn't think he needs it. I'm not sure how those conflicts work out. Even if he gets the surgery this report makes it sound like he still wants to play and I'm not sure the surgery will take him out for a full 82 game season

what a gotcha!

it literally says "Going to do a Part 2 to see how potential extensions for Forsberg and Strome play out with other extensions needed for Necas, Troch and Bear." in the post

Thread: 1 for 1

did you see that quote where Petty said he wants to sign somewhere he can win? No chance he signs anything that has UFA years contracted with Buffalo

I bet he'd rather play in Vaxjo with his brother before he signs with Buffalo long term

Yeah, I think they are reliable from what I've read, but it is weird that no Canes beat writers have put anything out since this report

Thread: Two Moves Away

Nino for Tara kinda defeats the point for Carolina. We need another top 9 forward this trade wouldn't fix that, in fact it would make it harder to add another top 9 forward by adding 1.5 million in cap

Thread: NHL 22 RATINGS

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dzinger18</b></div><div>Cool to see the Canes in one of these. Thanks for creating this!

Here are some things that I would maybe tweak:

Staal up to 84
Necas up to 85 or 86
Martinook up to 81
Leivo down to 79

Pesce up to 85
Deangelo down a bit until he can prove himself
Gardiner down to 79 or 78</div></div>

I agree with all of these except for Martinook. I think he should be in the 77-79 range

Thread: Something Different

I think we (we as in Canes fans on this site) are relying a little to much on Gardiner being a LTIRetirement/season-long thing. From the reports, it sounded like he doesn't want the surgery that Canes want him to get and I'm taking that as he wants to keep playing. Hiding a player on LTIR only works if they are fine with not playing

Thread: Realistic Eichel Trade

I like Smith as a top 9 forward target, but if we are helping Vegas out with their self-imposed cap struggles I would like more of a discount than this

Thread: Is Matty B in the team year 1

IMO based on his talent right now, no. Based on Seattle's need for centers, maybe

If he is on the team no way he starts as 1C. I don't see him getting to be a 1C for the next couple of years

Thread: Trades

I think the value is good, but I don't think the Canes can trade Martinook without creating big problems for the locker room and for fans

Thread: Fiala

you guys are all wasting your time arguing with a Canes super-homer

This deal is great for the Canes imo. It should be a late first, and while Suzuki is a great prospect, we need top 6 talent now, while our cup window is open

I think the Wild would say no

Thread: if gardiner goes on LTIR

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffSkinnerFan53</b></div><div>Forsberg is worth more than that. Preds are also unlikely to trade with CAR after playoff exit.</div></div>

I agree it's light but lol what is that second piece

Social media teams beef has no impact on trades, and now that we are back in the East and Nashville is back in the west it makes even more sense for Canes/Preds to be trade partners.

Thread: 3 team deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RClay321</b></div><div>I figure there are 4-5 better prospects around the same age in the Canes system on offense and Nikishin was just a throw in that could be removed. Having Buffalo retain half means no other forwards have to be moved to make the cap work</div></div>

Bokk and Suzuki are in our top 5 prospects in my opinion, so including both in a trade for a player with as many question marks as Tarasenko is a no-go in my opinion.

We also don't need a half retention to keep everyone I think we would only need 1.5-2 million retained depending on Svech contract

I think the value is fair for Fiala, but I think the Canes should keep Jarvis because he will be on his ELC while we need to resign key pieces and he is better for our salary cap health
