Confirmed with Link: Canes sign Calvin de Haan 4 years 18.2M

[Big Daddy Cane]

Yeah, lack of offensive contribution is still a concern but can't argue with how good Slavin-Pesce and de Haan-Hamilton looks. Wonder what we have in store for the bottom pairing, perhaps one of Fleury or TVR may be on the move?

Move out TvR in lieu of Faulk and that's the best defense the Hurricanes have ever iced.

 

[AeroFishOne]

Wonder if TVR(instead of Faulk) and some extras would get nylander?

 

[AeroFishOne]

I also thought no one wanted to come here?

Maybe barbecue is his thing instead of Museums.

That extra would probably need to be Svechnikov.

 

[bleedgreen]

I love it. If he’s Hamilton’s partner then it’s perfect, two legit pairings.

 

[What the Faulk]

.....why?

Opportunity and, dare I say, the possibility to help be part of turning this team into a winning one? I mean, they've got a ton of young talent here and on the horizon, even excluding what Faulk and/or Skinner might return. The near future looks as bright as it's been in a long time. Just gotta hope the goaltending holds up and they find a solution at center.

 

[GoldiFox]

I thought the Canes might add a guy like Enstrom. Posted in the De Haan thread today dreaming that he’d fit so well next to Hamilton.

De Haan - Hamilton is a significant tangible, on-ice upgrade to Hanifin - Faulk in all 3 zones.

The idea of Fleury, TVR, Bean, Fox, and McKeown bolstering the 3rd pair for the next 3-4 years is a real treat. So much utility and depth.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Okay, that's good.

 

[AeroFishOne]

That extra would probably need to be Svechnikov.

Or extras, I don’t pretend to know the value of Nylander. Don’t follow Toronto too much.

 

[bleedgreen]

So our d is no longer good on paper only. This is a huge improvement on Hanifin/Faulk. Yuuuuuuge.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

If someone had told me a month ago we’d have a second pairing of DeHaan - Hamilton I’d have told them to lay off the meth.

they can go to a bar b que museum!

[Anton Dubinchuk]

This management is running the team into the ground and blah blah blah bluh blah.

It was a decent offseason before this and now it’s even better.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Wonder if TVR(instead of Faulk) and some extras would get nylander?

Pesce more likely.

 

[AeroFishOne]

You’ve nailed it!

 

[AeroFishOne]

Pesce more likely.

Yeah wouldn’t be a fan of that.

I can’t believe I’m actually somewhat happy with what Waddell is doing. The Hamilton trade would have never ever in a million years happened under Francis. I think Ronnie did a decent job of picking up the pieces JR left, but the man was so risky averse it was absurd. GMDW is makin some moves, baby.

“There just wasn’t a deal to be made.”

 

[DaveG]

Now it’s time to pull off Faulk for Nylander

Hell, that would even be enough for me to forgive not buying out Darling this offseason.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Depending on what you guys do with Faulk/Skinner, I like your chances of making the playoffs.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I don't even understand what this feeling is. Having faith in and defending the team has paid off in some pretty solid ways.

 

[AeroFishOne]

Isn’t it almost all but certain we would be moving a D out with this pick up?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I doubt Nylander moves. Toronto has a year before Matthews and Marner’s contract kick in; they’ll try to overwhelm teams with waves of offensive players this year, then move someone out next year to help fix the D.

 

[jrcanesfan30]

Isn’t it almost all but certain we would be moving a D out with this pick up?

That is the big question now for me at this point. Guess time will tell.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

So Faulk is gone. And it’s either for offense or a goalie or futures. If it’s for offense Skinner is gone. Still some moves to be made. #yearofthemeth
