Just trade for DeBrincat and call it an offseason. Defense is fine.

No, he costs too much.

Capfriendly has Rees, Ponomarev, and Suzuki on the roster, take them off and The Canes have closer to $5M in cap space.

Not to mention, Mendel signed an ELC and all ELC’s are two-ways, the Canes will find a place for him to play and he won’t count against the cap.

Welp, just dropped our cap space down to $2mil with the signing of Mendel. Given it would take trading players and every penny Canes have to get Karlsson this lends further evidence we don’t go that route.

Also Frank says (who the hell is Frank lol. Looked it up, Frank Seravalli a sports reporter) says Karlsson is not a fit for the Canes. Frank and I often agree haha.

 

I don't think Mendel counts against the cap because he's on a two way.  I think he's just an AHL body and secondary insurance.

Pono shouldn’t be going anywhere. Rees and Suzuki should be on the trade block. I’d personally like to keep Rees but.

He might stick but if he doesn’t play consistently then the Canes need to find a spot for him to play this year.

It would not be helpful for him to just sit in the press box.

Echoing the sentiment that I don’t want DeBrincat. Good player but we have enough small players.

Pono, I don’t want him to just sit in the press box. If he makes the team he needs to play consistently, or at least rotate with Drury.

I want him in on 4 for the first half of the season at least.

Speaking of Drury, what's the word on him? Haven't heard much since word got out he asked to be traded.

Also haven’t heard anything on that front either. I’m open to moving him in the right package for a forward.

Seems once he got the slot he chilled out.

He counts according to CapFriendly. His cap is listed and they dropped Canes available cap from ~2.8 mil to a little over $2 mil to account for his cap hit. I’m no expert just what I saw there.
