I just puked a little and may have had a little leakage on the other end
Confirmed with Link: CDH and Saarela to CHI for Forsling and Anton Forsberg
- Thread starter DaveG
- Start date
Do Forsberg or Forsling even get QOs tomorrow? Or just 2 garbage contracts that Chicago was going to dump anyway?

There was already ample cap space to eat that and sign everyone.

And that's a fair take here.
Annoyed that we're STILL needing to sign a goalie to buy out Darling.
Only thing I can think is we're going to make a splash here looking for a goalie and a forward.
D will be fine:
Slavin - Hamiltion
Pesce - Faulk
Fleury/Bean - TVR
wonder if this also opens up chances that the Caps UFA dman would sign here.

Clearing money for Duchene/Bob? Can't see them signing here though.

Huge nothingburger of a trade. de Haan is damaged goods. There's not a reliable NHL player in the trade. I guess a salary dump, but why?

I think de Haan with zero shoulders is better than Fleury.

Either that or GMDW was sad he didn't get a Swede at the draft.
So both are RFAs and Forsberg is arbitration eligible.
I don't get giving up 3 years of de Haan here. TVR would make more sense as a UFA after a year.
Doesn't make sense as an expansion draft play, as they didn't get back any expansion immune players.

i like the trade and i'll tell you why:
we get a goaltender that should be in the league and will get a real opportunity here. with the weakness of the ufa class, this was a move we needed to make if we're going to go with 3 goaltenders. this opens us up to sign a guy like mike smith or curtis and create some depth at the position.
we cut salary. with fewer teams seemingly interested in faulk, we may have to resign ourselves to keeping him. if we're going to attack our weaknesses in free agency, we need the flexibility to get that done. if we're truly in on duchene or another high profile player, we needed to move some money out. plus, and i loved de haan's game, but he's just not the type of dynamic presence that you'll struggle too hard to replace. he plays honest, hard minutes.... but he's not pesce or slavin. haydn fleury or now gustav forsling are a strong developmental summer away from walking him down developmentally. that isn't to undervalue him, it's just the basic facts.

I also have to imagine there’s a Faulk extension on the way as well. Would make negative sense to deal both Faulk and CDH.

Cap space is irrelevant. This clears actual dollars.

Ned battling Forsberg as Back up
We sign a UFA goalie with the cap space
Roster spot opens on D.
Forsling rots in the press box as the 7th D
Everybody wins
I can't think of a single level that this isn't f***ing horrible. Unless deHaan's shoulder is so mangled he'll never play again.
Finally get a high end free agent to sign wth the Canes, then turn around and move him in a year. That should go *super* for convincing others to sign in the future. Downgrade the D, and give away a prospect. I dunno

1- Just how hurt is CDH? This is a curious move to ship him out like this and not get too much in return. It definitely feels like he may be more hurt than we thought, which made us more willing to deal.
2- This helps us get another goalie in so we can get Darling off the books and free up even more space. That is a plus in itself.
3- This feels like we are setting up for something bigger. Now we should have the space to get all our guys signed and be able to bring in someone like Panarin or Duchene.

Great shot. Exceptional shot. Haven't seen much else that's impressive from him.
Oddly enough, the Canes could have used a great shooter especially early this season and he never got a shot.

The Canes had more than enough cap space regardless. Unless they're loading up to go after a big name addition, this is being cheap for the sake of it
I don’t really get it.
People say we need a goalie but just sign Ned lol.
