GDT: Who pulled the fire alarm? FA day

[Stickpucker]

If Dundon agrees to put enough grease to it to push it through.

grease? you heathen!!

 

[FreshSeabass]

So Tank and/or saad then Hakanpa as the 7D once gardiner is sent off. Sign it and send it.

I think Gelinas will be our 7D. Lajoie maybe being 8

 

[Borsig]

Today will be boring.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Do we trade for Tank this morning or this afternoon?

 

[Borsig]

Think we can get vlad for Gards? Even swap? Cap hit is only 7.5x2.

I'd rather have him than Saad at 6

depending on term, Tarasenko with 2 years will fit much better than Saad at say 4 or 5 years.

 

[GoldiFox]

NJ looks motivated to spend and has plenty of cap space. They'd have a nice mix of present and future if they picked up all of Graves, Hamilton, Tarasenko and Saad in one offseason.

 

[dogbazinho]

At the very least lets drive the prices up. Just kidding.

Man if they really do just hand out bad contract after bad contract it has the potential to blow up spectacularly.

Why not?
That's what they and the Habs do to us.

Graves and Tarasenko are/would be trades? They aren't bad contracts. Hamilton is $1 million overpaid. Bernier is at the same rate as Andersen and Bernier was better last year. Both are consistent middle-tier options along with Mrazek.

Hard to say Saad is a bad contract before it is even signed. A bit of cherry picking here but Saad scored more goals last Playoffs (7) than Niederreiter, Svechnikov, Trocheck and Foegele combined. I'm sure that is a metric the Canes are looking into themselves.

 

[Borsig]

Tarasenko is 2 years left.

Saad wants 6 or something? Idk.

I'd rather have Tarasenko

 

[mikeyfan]

I'd do Gardner, Bokk, and Chicago's 2022 3rd for Tarasenko,

Reasoning is I don't think St. Louis would do Gardner for Tarasenko heads up.

If we sign Sevch to x years at 7.5 it would still leave the Canes approximately 5 million in cap space for future dealings.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Do we know the other team in on Tank?

 

[SlavinAway]

I read NJ was interested; not sure if there are others.

I like it. Bokk's value might be high enough and Tarasenko's might be low enough to pull this off.

St. Louis and LA.

St. Louis has to trade Tarasenko to make it fit.

Carolina also made an offer today to Brandon Saad today, source says. And I believe Colorado might have made one, too. So, Hurricanes, Devils and maybe the Avs after Saad…

The New Jersey Devils made a strong pitch to UFA Brandon Saad today. But Saad has other offers on the table as well. Saad camp carefully sifting through it all. @TSNHockey @TheAthletic

The question was who else was in on Tarasenko

 

[Borsig]

LA is cap strapped no?

 

[mikeyfan]

Sorry, Rumors I have seen is possibly both NY teams

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

LA is cap strapped no?

they have 1.9 million with 24 people counting against Capfriendly's numbers. so yes for the most part.

 

[Penaltykiller17]

Thing is... Didn't we get Bokk from STL in the Faulk deal? I thought they didn't want him.

I'd be surprised if NJ is on Tarasenko's list. I get it that there is a huge Russian population in the NYC/NJ metro area, but he's not going to win up there. I feel like NJ tried this a couple years ago when they still had Hall where they acquired all these talented players, everybody saw them as a bubble playoff team, and they still finished towards the bottom of the rankings. I don't think their core is good enough to compete.

 

[FreshSeabass]

i think new jersey is doing what we wish we did during the JR/RF days which is acquire some players with some buzz/recognition to get fans excited knowing good and well you wont be a contender but it strings fans along while their actual good players develop and get better. The difference is NJ has actual good young players unlike us who had Dalpe, boychuck, and terry waiting in the wings lol.

 

[Borsig]

Man I loved watching Tarasenko play for stl. I hope he's still got it.

Not a lot of hockey over the last 2 years
