If correct that the Canes offer was less than $4mil this easily explains why Tarasenko went elsewhere. Can’t blame him for that.

Yeah the Tarasenko trade drama turned me off on him a bit. Interestingly, the Canes first regular season home game is against the Sens. A chance for the Canes to show him we didn’t need him lol. Here’s to a Canes win!

Ethan Levy of GSN was the first to break the news of the Ottawa Senators signing Tarasenko, to give credit where it’s due. He was the source of the first article I posted today on this trade.

Admirable, but it was me more than you, my ornery is a tad bigger lol. But you’re the type I can argue with and come out as friends so it’s all good. And I agree, we just want to know if theres gonna be any more trades and for the season to start. So far I feel good about the team already and any good forward added would just be another bonus.

Point well taken. We should recognize spirited debate doesn’t set well with the more sensitive members here. Youre kind of piling on after it’s all over though haha.

You’re the one who brought up me “taking this energy back to twitter.” Fine if you want to keep our twitters out of it. just don’t open that can again. Never know what might come out lol.

That’s true she did say “sounds like” which is why I took it as speculation while others here ran with it. In any case appreciate the discussion and didn’t mean to be the contrarian. I do reserve the right to be a curmudgeon in the future though my preference is to be a friendly one when I can manage lol.

By the way, I make it a point to leave politics out of this forum. After all Canes fans come in all shapes and sizes and viewpoints. Sports is the one place we can all come together with a common goal, to see our Canes win the cup. Its obvious to me by your comment that you have read posts on my twitter account and formed a judgement not based on sports. I resent you bringing that here. So please leave anything not sports related out of it ok?

Reddit? Doesn’t matter. I remember the Marchment fiasco. Pundits do get things wrong sometimes I understand that. And yes there are reasons they get things wrong. But that doesn’t make them not wrong. You get it right or you get it wrong. Those are the choices.

Would love to see your posts on twitter lol. Want to reveal your name there? Mines easy to see, nothing to hide. You?

Well you are correct about the dates on Shayna’s post and the agents firing I checked. But you have no proof that they were just waiting on the contact-a press release is not a contract. In any case I’m good if you see Shayna as reliable, maybe she usually is. But my goodness just admit it. Shayna was wrong. Doesn’t matter if the sun was in her eyes and she didn’t see the ball coming, that’s just excuse making.

Ok I was wrong Shayna was right and you were right, Tarasenko is coming to the Canes. lmao

No. Shayna called it wrong period. No proof they were just waiting on docs to be sent. Tarasenko fired his agent many days after Shaynas post.

Maybe I’m the only one, but Im not waiting on a Pesce trade because I don’t want to see him traded. If it happens it happens but not something I want or think the Canes need to do. When Svech is healthy enough to play and with some of our guys already improving. along with Orlov and Bunting we’ve a solid cup contender.

Happened sooner than expected but the early calls were right this time, As opposed to shayna’s Tarasenko to the Canes misfire weeks ago. “She’s reliable” as I remember reading here lol.

Aaaaaand this. The chatter does indicate Tarasenko will be traded soon…

Not gonna trust it until I see more sources but these are fun times lol

Officially announced

I was thinking along the lines of Pesce and perhaps another and bringing in Karlsson to play RD. Not what I would want to see Orlov plays LD so unless he’s good at either side not sure he would be put on RD as a Pesce replacement. DeAngelo does play RD as well so yeah you could play him there if Pesce was traded for a forward.

I will be soooo glad when I hear Karlsson went somewhere else and this crazy talk can stop haha. And trade Pesce and bring on TDA just no, unless we get a great forward in return.

With Kempe signed for 3 more years at $5.5 mil cap hit Kings would be crazy to trade him. If they do go prompt insane let’s get him.

Aho contract extension has been “close” for a month now haha

I’ll pass that along pal.

Yeah Dougie Hamilton had his best season ever too haha. That’s it, I’m on the phone now with Don and Rod. We’re gonna make a move to get Nylander just to piss you off.
