2023 Off-Season Thread

Marner is currently making nearly $2M more than Aho. Talk about a cap buster. The Canes would have to extend Aho by $2-3M AAV just to keep him.

Can you honestly see the Canes paying Marner and Aho $11M each or more? I don't think so. Especially after Waddell's comments hinting at wanting to sign Aho for another 8 years. Doesn't make sense.

I'll stick with these UFAs if the Canes want to "get heavier."

Ryan Donato, Pierre Engvall, Ivan Barbashev, Michael Bunting, Jonathan Drioun, Tyler Bertuzzi....

The Canes signed Justin Robidas to his ELC, they elected not to sign Robert Orr and Bryce Montgomery.

Rumors abound regarding a trade with Winnipeg to acquire Mark Scheifele. His last 6 years with the Jets looked like this. And his current salary is $6M.

6`3, 207 also. Shoots right too. Yes please.

Does this roster have a top 5 player in the NHL?

 

If not they need to find a way to bring an elite talent to Raleigh.

A couple more guys that can score, more specifically on the pp, and a couple more heavier, grittier guys and we can do it next year. I just hope we dont think only adding 1 or 2 is enough.

Would love Scheifele but I’d imagine the ask would be Jarvis. Friedman is reporting the Jets aren’t rebuilding and want roster players back if they gut their core.

They don’t need a top-5 player. I don’t even want to know what the cost would be for that.

In all fairness... Arguably the top five are Draisatl, McJesus, Matthews, Makar, and MacKinnon... So, 27 teams in the NHL don't have a top five player...

We aren't in need of much, but we need better health luck and another scorer

Looking forward to the draft. A lot of “experts”/commentators are saying it’s the deepest it’s been in a long time.

Exactly. A goal scorer is what we need.

Disagree. We need an assist man and a goal scorer. Aho needs a true assist man and we need someone that can cover the first half the season for svech. As don’t forget he’s not going to be back until December at the earliest.
