Speculation: What's Ronnie up to?

[Big Daddy Cane]

Matt Cullen

Jeff Hamilton

Only names that pop out to me on the UFA lists that would probably come cheap are PAP, Hodgson, maybe Ribeiro or Chris Stewart...

Tlusty signing predicted at 12:01pm tomorrow...

Ribeiro, who just turned down 2 years 6mil from an actual good team?

 

[Ole Gil]

Vermette, maybe? Stunk it up in Chicago, but has been a pretty consistent 40 point guy his whole career.

 

[CandyCanes]

With Sergey Tolchinsky & Aho being our only reasonable RW'ers in the prospect system, does Tolchinsky get a look at one of the open spots on the RW?

I doubt he's ready, but who gonna fill those spots??

 

[DaveG]

Yes, vermette is probably the best semi realistic #2 on the market

Him @ 4m per/3
PAP @ 1.5/1
Top 4 dman this week would make the buyout make sense

Tolchinsky will get a look but he's a year or two away yet.
McGinn might be ready

Eric//Jordan//PAP
Skinner/Vermette//Lindholm
Gerbe//Rask//Nestrasil
Malone//McClemment//Terry

That looks pretty solid imo

Open RW spot? I know a certain someone who's disposition is always rosey that would like a shot.

Dwyer?

 

[What the Faulk]

UFA RWs

UFA Cs

And because positions seem to be arbitrarily listed, UFA LWs

All three are barren. Everyone is going to go after the same players. If anything happens, it'll probably have to be a trade unless it's just some minor move that doesn't address the 2 top six holes they now have.

Ways this is okay:

-Downie at 1.8m
-PAP at 2m
-Nash at 600K


Staal - Staal - PAP
Skinner - Rask - Lindholm
Gerbe - Nash - Nestrasil
Malone - McClement - Downie

Yuck, no thanks on the Downie front. I'd rather re-sign Dwyer for half that.

 

[nobuddy]

I think he's napping right now probably.

 

[Brock Anton]

I don't get the PAP love, everybody wanted him 3 years ago too for some reason. Dude has been nothing without Tavares.

we should trade for will bruin

Well that's just demonstrably false.

 

[Ole Gil]

The Canes do have a couple players in Lindholm, Rask, and Nestrasil who one could expect statistical jumps from. (or in Nestrasil's case, a year of what he did last year, but 18 minutes a night)

Shamelessly stolen from Reddit:

Ron Francis works in mysterious ways.

 

[Unsustainable]

Vermette and PAP could work.

 

[Brock Anton]

Well that's just demonstrably false.

i don't know what that means

Cam is looking pretty beefy. Must be all those fruits and veggies.

 

[BrindAmours Army]

Certainly some big holes to fill now in the top 6...

LaRose-E Staal-Lindholm
Skinner-J Staal-Tolchinsky
Nestrasil-Rask-McGinn
Gerbe-McClement-Malone
Terry
With Terry for sure filling out one of the ???s on a one way deal, we now need at least 2 top 9 fwds. I'd hope to think this now takes Skinner's name out of any trade talks.

Guess we'll be a little bit more active tomorrow than originally planned...

Definitely a playoff team.

 

[WhiteTrashAmerican]

Jiri Tlusty incoming

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Definitely a playoff team.

The last time the #HCanes made the playoffs, Char was 2nd#second on the team in scoring in the postseason. #truefacts
