Go full nut job and sign both Mrazek and Lehner. Bury Darling in the AHL.

The Canes are absolutely allowed to allow talks, starting July 1, the trade then happens and then the extension. It's not tampering if the Canes allow it, and it's been done before, most notably with Drouin. That's probably the best way to go at this point- Skinner gets both certainty and a payday, and we get a MUCH larger return because the team isn't worried about him walking after the season. If we know that Skinner isn't a fit under the current regime, or if we know that he's not planning on resigning, then we need to let him negotiate the deal he wants, and then make the team he wants to go to pay through the nose to make it happen. I spent most of the season calling Garth Snow a moron for not doing exactly that with Tavares, if you know you're not gonna be keeping a pending UFA, it's the way to get the best return you're gonna get. And since the team still has a lot of control, they can also tell Skinner that he can negotiate any deal he wants with a team in the western conference or whatever as well.

They can allow talks whenever they want to allow talks. It's just that an extension can't be signed until July 1st.
Montreal let LA talk to Pacioretty about an extension just a week or so ago.

Makes sense because Most of the roster was comprised of guys we drafted. Slavin, Pesce, Fleury, Hanifin, Lindholm, Skinner, Aho, McGinn, Rask, PDG, and soon to be Necas, Svechnikov, and Bean. The only notable guys left that we didn’t draft are Staal, Williams, TT and TVR and Darling.
Is part of “getting comfortable” waiting for Buffalo to pay ROR’s $7.5 million bonus?

I've just assumed O'Reilly's been off to St Louis since I heard that rumor. I'm fully expecting a package of futures for Skinner. Hope I'm wrong.
1) I don't see Skinner waiving to go to buffalo. I think he would waive for a more likely playoff spot.
2) I don't see buffalo taking a 1 year contract as a major piece for ROR. Even Faulk is too short of term. They want young cost controlled players. The best available chips the canes had just went to Calgary.

I still think JR gets his man with Skinner. I bet he’s more interested than the others. We just have to get him to overpay like he would’ve done so here.

This doesn't exactly describe him, and I have no idea if this guy is reputable or not, but I saw that this morning.
I mean it couldn't possibly be Staal, right. right?

I hope not. Staal is not a great offensive center but this team is so much worse without him.

No chance were moving Staal without getting a top 6 C back

jordan is brind'amour's pet project. it seems like he views peters era jordan as maurice era brind'amour where his offensive game suffered considerably for the role he was asked to play. laviolette performed career cpr on brind'amour when he expanded his role and asked him to revert back to thinking offensively again. it wouldn't surprise me if brind'amour has similar plans for jordan based on offseason rhetoric. worry less about the system and more about the effort. it might be something of a mantra for a team that has been somewhat stifled in a really conservative posture. brind'amour doesn't strike me as a tactician. he's more of a player's coach/motivator than a system coach.

I'd think Jordan is about as untouchable as there is outside of the obvious names that have been thrown around all summer. I know Waddell (or whoever) said only Aho is really safe, but it makes no sense to deal Jordan when they're lacking in centers as it is, and he's really the biggest two-way threat they have.

Our sweet boy Kaz is attacking our sweet boy Cory L on Twitter over being mistaken on an attempted fun fact.

attacking lol? all i did was politely correct him about the hurricanes having russian teaamates before, and then he subtweeted me multiple times, first to say that ukraine/kazakhstan aren't part of russia, then to say that he actually was talking about "born and raised russians" once he did his wikpedia research and found out that babchuk/khudobin actually had russian citizenship, then quote tweeted me to send his followers after me after i called him the dumbest person online on my own account (without tagging him).

you're absolutely right. my disdain for him since has been palpable. illogical though it may be.
