Canes Sign Michael Bunting

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 the Pesce is headed out too.

You forget this is Rod. fug ya he’ll let Orlov play 3 and people will be fuging dying because of it, but more importantly we will have the Great Wall of Gondor as our defense. I’m sticking with that!

I’d bet my house that we aren’t done. Rod may be in charge of the team by Waddell isn’t stupid enough to sign a defenseman for $7.75M and have Rod play him on the bottom unit.

I mentioned Bunting as a likely possible several weeks ago, fwiw. 

His mean streak worries me. Also his laziness according to Toronto folks. The last thing we need is another TT, not that TT is bad, but I think you know what I mean.

There’s something out there in left field for us, just like the Patches deal but hopefully this time it works out.

I’m still worried Orlov is going to need 6 month surgery or some poo knowing Don at this point. 
 

On the forward front I think we brought bunting in to cover the gap until svech gets back while allowing Pono to get some reps.

I think the fact that Svech is unlikely to be ready at the start of the season is another reason we aren’t done.

    • 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
