Agreed, if we get Karlsson then I think one of them is included in the deal for cap purposes and maybe we get Karlsson and some picks.

The other gets traded for a top six forward or for picks and we use that open cap space to go get someone like Killorn in FA.

I am excite, I hope we are smart with this.

I'm excited, I said the only thing we was missing was grit and some aggressive hockey players and they went out and got some. 1 to pair with Staal and another to help replace the 2nd line d. Also likely adding TDA as well. PP should be much better just from that and they definitely not done.

Just reviewed Michael Bunting stats for 2022-2023, compared to Canes forwards stats a little closer. He would have placed 4th in points from the forwards, not bad but not huge numbers at 49 points and 7 PPG.

To me this is who the Canes see as our scoring forward scoring addition if we are going after Killorn on defense (who is a scoring threat as well). thus no big time forward scorer. Will that be enough for a real cup run?

I actually think this is Nino’s replacement. We tried to sign Marchment last year and it didn’t work out, Bunting is a very similar player.

The Canes brought in Patches to be their 30 goal scorer last year and it didn’t work out. I personally think there is another move for a top six forward.

They've got to move either pesce or skjei if they still getting TDA.

Which begs the question do we put him 2-3 or 4? I’d play him 4 with Noesen and Drury/Pono and make our 4 line a lethal threat we haven’t had in a long time. Let Marty man, Staal and Fasty play the de facto shut down and pick up a forward at the deadline. 
 

Screw moving the second line. Put Orlov with chatty on three and play more balanced minutes. We can have a lot more balance and rotation like that. Bring TDA back as the 7D and we can push Orlov up as people get banged up. 
 

Honestly, in my opinion this whole situation looks negatively on Don. This may be rods last year as coach here. Let him get it done with his guys with a few additions. 

Of course this is all said with the knowledge rod has no issues shaking lines up that start to streak.

No we have just enough to get TDA. Which means going to the well again. Which I think we should. Get Pono up on four. It’s time. Our well is so fuging deep we need to start utilizing it early season to get these kids experience.

We aren’t going into games with all of these defenseman lol and TDA isn’t coming in to be a 7th defenseman.

We have Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, Orlov, Chatfield, and potentially TDA.

For starters, Orlov isn’t playing on the bottom pairing for $7.75AAV and TDA isn’t going to be the 7th defenseman.

With the Orlov signing, Skjei is definitely getting moved for a forward and and if the Canes get Karlsson then Pesce is headed out too.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
