Thread: Back to the cup

You forgot that the Canes throw in Aho and retain half his salary and a bag filled with $5m cash.

Canes wouldn’t make a 1 for 1 between Pesce and Girard

Thread: TDA Duclair Lindholm Laffy

The Duclair move is the only one that makes any sense.

I can't for the life of me understand the fascination with LAF, Canes can get a proven contributor for the same compensation....no reason to reach so much

Thread: Karlsson and Pesce

Canes pass and block the #, then go out and trade for EK and sweep the season series with the Leafs just because this proposal was so bad.

Thread: Nucks

Canes decline....I just don't see Garland as the guy as it's a clear overpay....even for a 3rd round pick, just don't want that contract

Thread: Final Cgy after Hanifin trade with Shaggy signed

Canes decline, not sure they would even do 1 for 1 given Chatfield is such a bargain

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 28, 2023 at 9:42 a.m.

Thread: EK because well why not

Even though they can....I don't see the Canes retaining all of EK salary. No one else will/can do it, so I don't think they'll need to. They can probably eat more than any other potential bidder, so maybe get him at 8-9m a year.

Eric Staal is not coming back for that #....no matter how much he loves his brother. He's not going from the former face of the franchise to $775K

I think Teraskeno probably gets more

and overall, Canes aren't going to spend up to the cap limit...they'll want a little in reserve for the deadline

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 27, 2023 at 8:41 a.m.

Thread: 23-24

I don't think this is as terrible as some others on here. But the deals have to all happen, they don't work independently.

I think the bidding for Pesce will be pretty heated, so I think Buff will have to throw in Joki as well, and it is a bit of an overpay for Konecny

But this is closer than other Canes fans are saying

Thread: Win now mode

Canes accept...two picks in the first round gives them ammo to get more long term scoring

Thread: A very solid offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>It'll probably equate to that though if a trade is made a big IF, but he should garner a first, 2nd, and a good prospect. Would not be surprised if we got two firsts.</div></div>

nope....won't get get firsts and a top prospect, but you can use this receipt if I'm wrong :)

Thread: What does DeAngelo reunion mean

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ashleyschaeffer</b></div><div>Olofsson and 13 OA is plenty of an offer for Pesce. Your trade is close to the return we got for Eichel.</div></div>

Very different situation, Buffalo would have gotten even more if Eichel had not been oft-injured, disgruntled, and already carrying a $10m AAV

Maybe I'd reconsider the 2nd round pick....but as I said in the notes, this reflects what I think will be a very competitive situation, and Oloffsson is already on his way out regardless so no real leverage there.

Without a strong defensive veteran presence....Sabres will miss the playoffs again. It's worth this price to end that drought and get your young guys the mentorship they need.

Thread: A very solid offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Just FYI, a first round pick is not too much for TK. If he gets traded, you will see what comes back and it will 100% include a 1st +++</div></div>

Sorry, I didn't phrase it well....a first round pick, fine. But two first round picks....too much

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 23, 2023 at 12:32 p.m.

Thread: Summer

To be constructive....the Pesce market will be hot, so just to get in consideration you'll need to offer
- proven scorer with reasonable term
- 1st round pick
- 3rd round pick
- or -
- A legit 2nd or 3rd pair physical D man
- young 2nd to 3rd line forward or 2nd round pick
- 1st round pick

Thread: Testing the Waters

I think the market for Pesce is going to be pretty hot given this crop of FA, so remove the 1st rounder that CAR is giving up and MAYBE this works assuming a better offer doesn't exist

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 23, 2023 at 12:21 p.m.

Thread: A very solid offseason

GBere will get offered more than that and the Canes should not try to match and instead look for a more physical cheaper presence for the 3rd pairing
It's a bit too high for Freddy but I am ok with him coming back
I don't see Calgary going for that trade, but if they did Canes should take it
A 1st round pick too much for TK....I do think he's a good target, but either lose a 1st round pick or Pono... a later pick is fine
Fine with moving Drury
Like the Rodrigues pickup

Thread: My fellow Caniacs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>I think you're delusional truthfully on Bert. He played 7 games and was eh on the best team ever as they lost to Florida. If that's what you're getting him for, steer well clear. Martinook had 10 points in the Devil series. You think he's worth 6.25 a year? He's a little older, but he's not got the same injury issues.

Miller would have to be a 1 year deal at a much higher cap hit</div></div>

That’s the beautiful thing, everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how wrong yours is

Thread: Who wants these packages for player

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Canes aren’t moving him at the TDL. They either sign him now, trade him now or keep him for the season. They’ve already shown reluctance to bring in guys at the TDL and they’re not going to subtract a big piece in the middle of the season even if talent is coming back in. Contenders don’t move core pieces at the TDL typically and the canes are on the far end extreme of that.</div></div>

my point is it's worth being patient to just see how it plays out...keeping him all year could make sense if it means winning the cup. Without an offer for a proven top 6 scorer, it's just worth being patient is my point

Thread: My fellow Caniacs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Okay, did we learn nothing from the KK offersheet? You don't sign a multiyear deal. You sign a 1 year deal overpaying the player to get the guy. Long term, the Rangers can just match this, and ship Goodrow out.

That Bertuzzi deal is an anchor waiting to happen/. Awful idea.

I don't hate the Teuvo trade. Would prefer to get that done before the draft and get a 1st this year, but fine. It still makes the roster worse than it is right now, but I understand it.</div></div>

The Miller deal all depends on what NYR can match. So yes, like I said, you may have to go to the next level of comp and sign to a 1-2 yr deal....but I already said that.

We just disagree on Tuzzi, I think he'll be worth that no problem...especially in the playoffs. you're not a believer, ok.

Keep him and use him in a deal at the deadline if an extension isn't coming....unless someone offers up a top six goal scorer...but not seeing that happen right now

Thread: canes do Canes things

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>You do realize the goalie market is awful this year and that any goalie can get hot in the playoffs?</div></div>

My bad, I see what you’re trying to do. But you can’t put 3 goalies in the net at the same time. It’s against the rules

Maybe we shouldn’t strive to accumulate all of the slightly above average goalies

Canes accept. Lack of scoring in the playoffs has to be addressed. It’s been more than a one year problem

Thread: Cap as a weapon -RFAs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>Barbashev showed up for one playoffs and he is now a playoff performer? He had 3Gs and 6As in 48 playoff games before this season. Someone is going to grossly overpay him for one playoffs and it won’t be us thankfully.

In Necas first 48 playoff games he has 7Gs and 14As.

Helley is 31, unless he extends for 6 x 6 (which he wouldn’t) he won’t be a hurricane. We aren’t paying for the heavy regression over the rest of his career</div></div>

So your philosophy is to judge players on past performance rather than what they are currently capable of....interesting.

Goalies peak later and age better than skaters. But I'll admit, it's a risk, but considering the Canes have been bounced from the playoffs the last five years by superior goaltending....it might be something worth addressing
