Wow thought he retired

 

[Moosetache]

Saad to St Louis.....I really thought it was going to be for more.

Hopefully Tarasenko is aiming his trade towards us instead of NJ.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Yeah, so, to me, get Tatar and Tarasenko and I'll call it a successful offseason despite the Dougie mega-contract from the Devils.

Saad 5 years 22 million 4.5 AAV

 

[Incubajerks]

Was replying to Svechammer...I think is hard to fill Gardiner in for Tara, i don't see why they should. And tbh i think i will not like Tatar signing with us, obviously i am ready to change my mind!

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

CU^T

 

[DougieSmash]

Saad 5 years 22 million 4.5 AAV

Too long. I'm biggest fan of Saad bit I don't want another Nino for that long

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Tara Tara get up and go, with a fresh cup of joe, getting down to work early.

Was talk for a while before free agency that basically made it seem like we were the most likely option. I think there were initially 4 teams he'd waive for and 3 of them were projected not to have the cap space: us and Boston I know for sure. I think another was Tampa. Can't remember the 4th.

I mean I know he has talent but there's a ton of concern around his shoulder and whether he can tap into that talent again. Even read some concerns that he might not be able to pass a physical right now, despite likely being ready for the season. So yeah I'm not really willing to subtract from our offense with someone like Nino for him. Maybe a prospect, but if they want someone good they need to take Gardiner as well.

Also waiting on the E Staal to Canes for 2 mil

Svech-Aho-Turbo
Tarasenko-Trocheck-Necas
Staal-Staal-Nino
Marty/Lorentz/Leivo/Fast

That would be pretty good IMO

 

[WreckingCrew]

Saad 5yrs @ $4.5M I would have been ok with though perhaps longer than I would like (3-4 yrs max when hopefully some of our younger guys start stepping in)

 

[Wolfpuck]

Wow thought he retired

Me too. I remember him being fast as f*** boi.

Saad's agent traded AAV for term. Probably not the ideal setup for what the Canes are trying to do in order to get Svech and Necas locked up long-term.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Trying to stay patient, but this looks like it's heading in a troubling direction. Cap space is available, but there's not much out there that they should be spending it on.

 

[Brock Anton]

Saad at $4.5M is nice, but 5 years is just too much. I’m willing to bet we offered 3 years.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Tara Tara get up and go, with a fresh cup of joe, getting down to work early.

I hate you

 

[SoupNazi]

Wow thought he retired

Injuries and age have derailed him, but hopefully he provides some value. I always liked him on the Wings.

EStaalo is most obvious guy though I don't want him. I doubt we are after Tarasenko.

Who's left...Tatar, Ritchie, maybe Heinen? Otherwise it's trade for something

You do realize there's like, months left until start of the season.....

 

[Chrispy]

Let it go.

And Eichel is still on the trade market. With the Canes having by far the best potential package to give for him out of any contending outfit.
