Canes Sign Dmitry Orlov

Eh… not a big fan of this move.

He’s the gritty defensive defenseman everyone wanted. He’s exactly what this team needs. Defensively he’s better than Skjei and if we add Karlsson and TDA then you’ve replaced the offensive production that Brady brought.

I know fans get attached to players but the Canes have a number on long term deals and they aren’t going to go over that number, even for guys like Pesce and Skjei.

We still have a year left on both of them. They are more integral to our success than people think.

Pricey. Rather seen that money go to a top offensive scorer. Which we didn’t get and looks like we won’t. Too bad.

Orlov is miles better than pesce at defense and scoring. He was the number 1 FA on the market. We got him. This guy and Bunting make us much much better. 
 

trade pesce for a scoring forward, sign Tony D and that is a team that SHOULD win the cup.

We were ok on defense, sure Orlov is good and will improve defense to a degree. but that change won’t win us the cup. still waiting for the offensive scorer to fill our biggest weakness. I’d like to see us pick up Karlsson who will get big money, or maybe Killorn for a couple years, though he will get top dollar and demand a longer contract- at his age I don’t see it.

yeah Im eagerly awaiting how we handle our next moves. No more scoring forwards means no cup for us and the same bullshit will repeat itself.

    • I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.  
    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
