You’re wrong but you do you.

The NHL Network even stated that we had a press release ready to go.

Additionally, Shayna’s tweet was on the 4th of July, Tarasenko fired his agent on the 5th… not exactly many days.

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

lmao

Sheesh dude… no reason to get bent out of shape.

Just stating the fact that Shayna was reporting the information she was given and she’s usually very reliable. Sometimes things happen after the fact and the outcome changes.

It doesn’t make Shayna any less credible.

Canes can get to $2.5M in cap space if they move Coghlan and send Kochetkov to our non-existent minor league team.

Could probably get Tatar for that number if we wanted to.

He’s a guy that could probably hold down the fort on a line with Kotkaniemi and Necas until Svechnikov returns and then you can put him on the fourth line where he’d probably be able to take advantage of easy matchups.

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.

There’s your proof. And like I said, things can change. It doesn’t mean that the information that Shayna was originally provided with wasn’t correct and then became incorrect later.

I don’t know how long you’ve been a Canes fan but the same situation happened last year. Every pundit reported that we had agreed to terms with Mason Marchment and then Dallas came in and stole him from us. It doesn’t mean that all the talking heads were wrong, it just means that something happened and the situation changed.

The only reason I even said anything was because of your sarcastic remark about Shayna being reliable. Once again, not sure how long you’ve been a Canes fan but she broke the news of the Skjei trade when he was sent from the Rangers to Carolina.

Everyone has hits and misses but she’s right more often than not.

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.

why so hostile bro. take this energy back to twitter. 

 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?

The Reddit link has the NHLN video, that’s why I posted it.

And if you see everything in black and white then I guess those are your only options. But I’m of the belief that something can be right at one point and then wrong at another point. And if I’m not mistaken, Shayna said that ‘it sounds like Tarasenko is headed to Carolina,’ not that he is signing with Carolina. That’s an open ended statement that leaves room for something unexpected to happen in my opinion, and obviously something unexpected did happen.

Anyway, it’s a moot point now.

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.

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.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
