Speculation: Carolina summer shakeup?

[pheasant]

Ron Francis... promo-fired? Fire-moted?

Anyway Francis is out as Hurricanes GM, bumped to President of Hockey Ops role. Proud record of 0 player for player trades in four years, and Carolina hasn’t seen much on-ice success either.

Is this the offseason that Carolina shakes things up?

IMO, Carolina is one of those teams that have a bunch of B+ and B assets to move (outside of Slavin and Aho, who IMO shouldn’t go anywhere).

The term you're looking for is "fired up".

... fired up.

... I have nothing else to contribute to this thread.

 

[Pens x]

At least Francis’ successor won’t have have much pressure to succeed. Ronny just sat on his hands for 4 years.

But but but they have good prospects!

 

[sheriff bart]

The Canes need a few players that are sore losers with anger issues. Too many nice guys

Pesce and Staal to Canadiens for Price and Andrew Shaw

You know if Francis was getting trade proposals as bad as this from other GMs, I can see why he never made a trade in 4 seasons......

 

[DaveG]

Small trade proposal but how would Canes fans feel about:

Kruger and Darling at 50% off

to Hawks for Kero, Berube/Forsberg and Hossa's contract

Hawks take two players who played well for them. Gives them a 4th line C to win FO's and a backup who would do well under Waite again. They unload Hossa's contract in the process, and save 1.7 in cap.

For the Canes, they get rid of 2 players who have not been a fit for their team. Both players have underperformed. They would not have to pay Hossa's contract.

Would, easily easily soooooo frigin easily would. That's about as painless a way to get rid of those two as the Canes could want.

Losing his sister's twitter rants make it that much sweeter.

Yeah...uh, No. None of our D core move except to obtain key pieces for our future.

There's not much Montreal has which interests.

 

[Extra Texture]

But the biggest asset the Hurricanes have this offseason is 15.8, as in the amount of cap space the Canes currently have with only a few RFA deals to give to Lindholm, Hanifin, TVR, and to re-sign Ward. Canes have the potential to be big time players in free agency coming up here, and could make moves to really boost the roster without having to give up a single asset in the process.

Am I missing something or are the RFA raises baked in to that number? According to cap friendly your number is $48.5 million against an (at least) $78M cap. I get that Lindholm, Hanifin and TVR are all going to get significant bumps, but to know you can easily keep those guys and probably chase at least two major names on the free agent market must feel good.

Price with his health issues, No way i'd give up Pesce and Staal for those two contract unless MB ate a lot of salary.

No that's what we're currently at (or were at time of post) vs spending to the cap. Even if Lindholm, Hanifin, and TVR are re-signed to generous deals we'd still be able to painlessly bring in JT as a UFA.

Ahh okay, had forgotten about the internal cap. Still, it’s a great position to be in. An axis of JT, Staal, Rask instantly valuts you guys into the ranks of contenders

How do you figure this makes any sense for Carolina?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Expect the unexpected i guess. New owner isn't going to bring a GM who just continues what Francis did.

 

[Heretic]

What could we get for Ryan O’Reilly? Looking for defense and speed.

Justin Faulk. Change of scenery would do him well .

Justin Faulk. Change of scenery would do him well .

Is he your best defensemen or the bad one you want to give us?

 

[bluedevil58]

Is he your best defensemen or the bad one you want to give us?

Debatable having an off year but still considered our best offensive d man. Used to be a regular 40 point guy. Change of scenery may do him well. Otherwise maybe Fleury, prospect, and a 2nd? If you want more of a mobile up and coming defensive d man. Pesce and Slavin command more since we already have Staal who is similar to ROR. ROR is a good player.

Think you mean Lindholm, who is a far superior player to Rask. I'll be shocked if Rask is still here come August 1

If we're taking back the Hossa contract, my guess is we're not also paying 50% of Darling's deal. That's more of a 1 for 1 thing.

You are talking in Shaw's name right?? Cause he just got killed
