that is what she said.

We have 1.8 million in cap space now for those keeping track at home

So I think I read that Ethan Bear has been re-signed.

Nah. You're imagining it.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I wonder if we trade him.

 

[spockBokk]

Nah, they’ll trade Pesce now for sure. I hear-tell the Canucks need RD.

Jarvis + Pesce + 1st ought to start the convo for JT Miller

So what does this signing do in terms of the Canes ability to buy-out Gardiner? (if he were deemed healthy). Probably a moot point as I don't think he'll be declared healthy

From what I understand (as in learned just a few days ago) because Bear filed for arbitration, they still have access to a 48hr buyout window, even without the hearing. The window should open now.

Whether or not Gardiner is eligible for buyout I think is still in question

Fastest thumbs in the West or some shit

I suppose they know what they’re doing with Necas and/or Gardiner…

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

@Borsig where you at?

 

[cptjeff]

Fine, I guess. But we're gonna have to clear some room here to fit Necas in.

 

[Brock Anton]

I ain’t really thrilled about this either lol

What did this dude do to earn any type of raise?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Nothing at all but he actually didn’t get a raise. He ended up taking less than his QO which is strange as he didn’t accept it previously and had also filed for arbitration.

I mean if you want to pay him 2.2 to sit in the press box as a healthy scratch, do you.

He's hot garbage, and I have no idea why we even QO'd him. That money should have been spent on at least Necas. 2.2 could have got us closer to nino. We have a 750K defenseman who will produce probably the same as Bear. It's a waste, and it's worse than Martinook, and that's hard to do.

He also clearly doesn't want to be here. Why bother? It's a watse of 2.2 in cap space for a year after which he will be gone. Now where does space for Necas come unless Gardiner LTIRetires?

If Ethan goes camping, does he shit in the woods?

Really good point. Why didn’t he accept his QO lol? Wasn’t it still on the table? Or does it go away after arbitration?

 

[spockBokk]

The QO expired at 5pm on 7/22, right before Bear officially opted for arbitration.

 

[Borsig]

You really have to wonder if the writing was on the wall with this one. I don't understand how the canes value him at 2.2 when they couldn't get nino done and still don't have Necas done. I guess they expect him to have some sort of banner year because he will be a 26 year old UFA coming off a 1 year deal?

 

[wolfofthesteppes]

Nothing from the Canes yet. Could mean something.

Wait until tomorrow to announce he’s on his way to Vegas.

Lajoie's case is still pending, I think the 48 hour clock starts after the last case is resolved. That's August 9.
