So what I’m reading seems to indicate Tarasenko signing wasn’t a done deal yesterday. If it was we would have had confirmation by now or at least other sources confirming. Talk of Ottawa if they can move deBrinkat. Could be what’s slowing down his decision. Supposedly agent was talking to six teams at one point.

A “sounds like” tweet is not a confirmation. I’m waiting for that.

Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been bailed on, Marchment last year comes to mind.

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.

Yeah, that will get updated and he won't count against the NHL cap.  Much like the other AHLers we have signed.

The noise on Karlsson trade on Twitter has died down drastically. Like his trade talk fell into a black hole.

Because as of the other day, SJ was only willing to retain 20% of EK's contract. The only two teams interested seriously are Pitt and Carolina. Both need SJ to retain more plus add a third team to retain even more.

I see the Canes prospects development camp is being held next week. Any of you ever attended? Is it worth checking out?

Never been but I’d bet it would be fun to get to see all the kids. Scott Morrow will be there which makes it worth it in my opinion.

Looks like Pesce may be traded this weekend. Brett’s dad is saying his goodbye’s on Twitter.

First dominoe in the EK trade and Tarasenko signings. If both still happen. 

Nashville is probably the landing spot based on rumors. With the canes getting back a first round pick to include in the EK trade. 

 

Drury plus first for EK at 35% retained.  Maybe a 2nd team in it to get it down even more.

I’ve seen Nashville mentioned and a possible return being Fabbro and a first. Then both are flipped along with our first rounder to San Jose.

i really don't know ho to feel about EK. i get he's a 100 point defender, but does the blue line not get worse with him and no pesce.

Nashville will probably allow him to still live in the triangle for at least part of the year.

Probably but not a whole lot. 

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - EK

Skjei/Chatfield - TDA (maybe no TDA if they pull of EK) unless Skjei agrees to be moved.

I don’t want to move either Pesce or Skjei. People are down on them but their defense is ungodly most nights. We don’t need an offensive D line cause that’s all we could get. 
 

People also forget we play man defense. Too many new people too it are going to cause major issues.
