Thread: Stamkos trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>Where have all these stamkos rumors come from all of the sudden? Don’t hate the idea if the cost is not to steep. The injury risk has to be baked into his value. Tampa isn’t going to want to take back any salary I’d assume</div></div>

The Athletic released an article yesterday about the Canes draft process and this was said in it. "Dundon takes a chair near the door and settles into his role as moderator. If there is an NHL owner who takes a more hands-on approach to things like the draft, we are unaware of who that owner is. Dundon opens discussions by outlining his plans to ensure the Hurricanes are part of the conversation if a certain top NHL star on a team with a world of salary cap issues formally comes onto the marketplace as has been rumored to be the case."

Thread: Stamkos
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>Don’t hate the idea but I doubt it happens. Trading Reimer would probably not be the move to open up cap. Ideally it would probably be trading dzingle and maybe Gardiner. Someone like McGinn could also be moved for a cheaper replacement</div></div>

I think you're right abour Reimer, for this to work we need to cut 4ish m in cap space. How the Canes do that could be accomplished in alot of ways. This was from the athletic article this morning, im speculating they are referring to Stamkos, but it sounds like they would be all in if he is available.

Thread: After We Match
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>I'm sure he is fond of paying another 21M$... also... he is worth a billion... he doesn't have a billion dollars cash flow. You can have a business worth 600M... it's 600M you can't cash out quick!</div></div>

but he doesnt need 600m....he needs 23m and we have sold 3x the amount of season tickets this season, as we did last season due to the success we had last year. So that ticket sales # that was being thrown around, is not accurate at all for next season. "Last year the renewal rate for Carolina Hurricanes season tickets was 72 percent. This year, they're at 91 percent. New plans sold? Up 262 percent."

Plus....I wonder how much money the team made making it to the Conference Finals last year? How much did MTL make in the playoffs? If you think Tommy D cant pay for that contract, I want what you're smoking.

Thread: Why we needed cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>I would understand it a lot more had they not included Saarela. De haan for Forsberg and Forsling was a fair trade. Decent #2 d man For a pair of tweeners and gaining cap space. Adding Saarela was overkill. Montreal has been clamoring for a LD. They would have given a better package for De haan straight up.</div></div>

Problem is that deHaan is also out until November/December with his 3rd surgery on the same sholder. The team may not think he will ever be the same again. Also his contract was back loaded with actual cash so this was a money deal more than anything. It may have taken adding Saarela in order for anyone to take DeHaan, who may not ever be the same player and is also going to miss half the season.

Thread: Carolina Trade
I can understand why all you WPG fans fell bad after yesterday. It was the Skinner trade 2.0, where the guy getting traded really limits the return due to a NMC. It sucks and the rest of the league only sees Trouba for X, not Trouba for X + extenuating circumstances.

That being said, we have an incredibly deep prospect pool right now, our AHL team just won the Calder Cup and the Canes made the ECF. I do not see a way that we trade Pesce to upset the balance of the locker room. He is Salvin's best friend and was an integral part to our team turning things around, plus he is on an amazing team friendly contract. I think the fan base would riot if we traded Pesce and I think the FO knows that.

Not that I don't think the value is fair, it probably is, but long term team friendly contracts on a top pair RD are worth alot more than a winger in the current state of the NHL, even though Ehlers is amazing. Ive always had a soft spot for WPG though, I hope you guys have a great season next year.
