Word on the street is the we are trying to get a steal on EK65. If we can’t get a steal, we will be moving on shortly. I suspect this will iron itself out sometime this week.

I saw that on Reddit too. Question is if they can’t get him do that either resign Precse or use that extra money to go after Sanko?

Pesce is not up for a resign until next year. He’s either a trade or he stays. Same with Skjei.

Does nobody remember Oscar Madison and Felix Unger from The Odd Couple?

When does TC start?

Honestly I’m very skeptical of EK after this. Why we are evening trying I dunno.

Screw that, I don't want to lose Burns.

[MillionDollarCam]

Lol they aren’t getting Burns back. Rod would burn PNC arena down. He’s even said Burns can continue playing in Carolina as long as he wants.

What buddy forgot to mention is we have the ability to open up cap space by moving Pesce, Skjei, Drury, etc.

Cap space can be created but GMDW is just taking things slow right now. Still a lot of time left to improve the roster so no need to panic and do something where we don’t come out clearly better.

His point on SJS not taking 40% and EK’s issues remains valid though. Especially on a team like this. As much as most canes fans bitch and moan we are not a “the guy” team. Pick TDA up and call it good until the deadline.

 More aptly put. We don’t need regular season guys. If anyone hasn’t been paying attention we’ve even the second best record in hockey for how many seasons now? 3? Or did Colorado beat us the season they won the cup. Anywho we’ve been top three for the while. What we need is is svech not to tear his ACL or a replacement of his caliber we can cheat the cap with. I am firmly of the camp if svech didn’t tear his ACL we would have won the cup. And probably the bubble year too.

This whole obsession with offensive defensemen is starting to get ludicrous to me. That’s how rod’s game works. We got a bit of grit. That’s great. We need to position ourselves to flip Drury(sorry dude) at the deadline, get someone who is injured but we know will deliver. Cheat the cap. Cause that’s how you win the cup in the past what? 6 season?

Then we get 4M in cap and a huge trading chip. Bigger than either Pesce or Skjei this season. Now is not the season to be trading pieces. Since bettman absolutely fugged the cap the past few years.

[Harbingers]

In my opinion it’s better to ride what we got and at the end of the day if we have to move one of our 2D at the deadline. Than so be it. They didn’t want to extend.
