So reports are out there that Rick Nash may hang them up. If true, I can't blame him. With all that is now known about CTE, I'd think long and hard if I was in his shoes. I get that players want to keep playing as long at they can because of the competitive fire within, but the impacts of repeated concussions is some scary shit.

I'm glad that the team isn't a player in free agency this year. I find myself falling back on “the team is better off” line every Summer, but that masks jealousy that the Canes are rarely involved. That is not the case this year; after Tavares, all that's left is a couple of quality forwards exiting their primes that will be signed to regrettable contracts, bottom pairing defensemen and backup goalies.

This is one of the few proposals I've seen around here that I wouldn't mind. Most are too future-based.
I'm not a fan of trading both of them for future assets. I mean, there's obvious hole in our top 9 and we lack top 4 LH dman. Dumo is crazy good fit with Hamilton, he's signed for 5 more years and young enough to be part of our future core.

Potentially a big-day leaguewide:

- Last day to sign for 8 years for Tavares
- Last day to deal Ryan and Karlsson to avoid Ryan's bonus payment
- Last day to deal O'Reilly to avoid his bonus payment
- Last day to deal T. Johnson before his full NTC kicks in
- Last day to deal Faulk before his partial NTC kicks in
