Thread: canes lineup

Hopefully Bear is back and on the 3rd pairing (he’ll have to be eased in)

I would love to see
Svech-Aho-Jarvis
Turbo-KK-Necas
Nino-Staal-Fast
Martinook-Tro-Lorentz
Slavin-Cole
Skjei-Chatfield
Smith-Bear

Canes aren’t any better and got more expensive (and old) in the net.

I did say at a minimum.

If Calgary isn’t willing to go higher than 6 years at 9 million, why not get a 1 year 8 million or so deal then get a really good deal on the market?

Why are you assuming he signs for 6 x 9?

Thread: difficult offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Team chosen arbitration still follows standard arbitration rules. If it goes to an arbitrator Tkachuk, due to the amount of uears he has played, can only get 1 year from an arbitrator.

Whether Tkachuk files for arbitration, or the team does, or he just signs the QO, he can still force a situation of only signing for 1 year. So basically no matter what Tkachuk could just force a 1 year deal and walk in FA.

So again the idea of doing team arbitration is to not be forced into doing a minimum of 9M. Even if Tkachuk didn't sign the QO and went to arbitration, which (like every RFA that has the option) he should, he could still force a 1 year deal. However if he files for arb he is nolonger eligible to be offer sheeted.

Team arbitration still allows a player to be offer sheeted, but it also allows a team to avoid a QO. Like its 100% possible that Calgary fikes for arb on Tkachuk and then still offers him 9.5Mx8y</div></div>
So he can take his one year 7.65 million at a minimum deal and walk for more money. Why wouldn’t he? I would.

Thread: difficult offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Filing for arbitration doesnt mean you go to arbitration. Boston literally filed for arbitration with Carlo this summer and he signed a 6 year deal.

Also if it were to go to an arbitrator they can only award a 1 year deal so its no different than him getting a QO.

The advantage to team arbitration is the ability to give a lower contract, the only disadvantage is another team can still give an OS</div></div>

a team chosen arb can go 2 years and the minimum award is 85% of their previous year’s earnings

Yes they can still negotiate. Why wouldn’t he take good money and then get even more on the free market?

Basically any piece that doesn’t have a chance at being a top 6 player needs to be changed. Canes wouldn’t include Necas in a deal for Laine or Eichel. Its going to have to be an overpayment of quantity of quality

Thread: Offseason Moves

Canes cap space isn’t so bad that we are trading high quality piece for bunch of quantity. Canes have a ton of bottom 6 pieces, plus some waiting in the minors.

2 years of 7.65 million and then UFA. He would take that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Especially considering the fact that Kane’s buyout numbers are not the worst we’ve seen. Looks like it’s $1.67M for the 3 years after his contract ends. Not great, but that’s manageable.</div></div>

But eating half saves them an average of 100k in cap for 3 years and no 1.667 million cap hit for 3 years after either.

I bet not. The Canes aren’t players in the rental market. On top of that, the Canes aren’t playing him as a 4C tonight, Necas and Nino are his wingers.

Thread: Carolina loves reclamation projects so why not Kane

While im not opposed to it as others here, I wouldn’t pay anything of consequence.

Kane @ 50% for Gardiner and Lorentz. Conditional pick associated with games played. If he doesn’t play 30 games the first two seasons then the Canes get a pick (year 1, top 10 protected 1st, year 2: 2nd rounder).

injuries withstanding, we currently have 5 centers so I dont think Dvorak is needed. It is hard to say what we would need next season. Dont know if Tro is coming back. I would say picks are good, without knowing who all is staying.

Thread: CAR trade

Pesce isnt available. Gardiner could be bought out and we go really cheap with our bottom pairing defense to afford it.

The only reasons TDA is available is because A. he wants too much money (Canes should still hold the negotiating cards) and/or B. Morrow is ready next year.

What is the offer for our 3rd leading scorer, TDA?
