State of the Union

[Panthers Fan 69]

From my post from the Gameday thread today. 
 

We don’t have the full team to win it all.  We need a trade.  Maybe 2. Pecse KK are useless.  I’m mean absolutely useless. Koochie played horrible today for 1 period but has played well. I’m with you. I wonder if this team truly has accountability. Becasue today should never happen. Ever.  I think In  my heart the leadership on this team has peaked. They will never win a cup with this current team. KK is trash.  Pool party trash. We have JAGs with Quickie Naeson Drury.  Our Goalies are just too damn unpredictable. Burns has become so careless with the puck.  Honestly, Svech missed 3, count them, 3 wide open nets. Aho and Necas are our only consistent offense. Rods system won’t allow a stud. Changes need to be made. 
 

if we are happy to make the playoffs. This is your team. If you want a cup. This team needs forward help and goalie play. We just don’t have it. If Waddell fumbles the bag again, I say it’s time for some major changes, including that fat piece of poo Waddell and DUMBdons bitch asses

Unfortunately missed the game, but it sounds like we had a reset we probably needed. As for trades, I don’t think it’s gonna happen bud. We just dropped 1.3 million for a 6th round pick to a playoff contender.

World from some of my radio friends is that is to add an asset to trade. In other words, that 6 round will be used to package something

We paid 1.3 million for Toronto to get a player for a 6th. I’m not sure what part is not getting through to you…

We didn’t get any player. We were simply a 3rd wheel. Canes agreed to take 25% of defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin’s salary. We didn’t get a player. We got paid a 6th round draft pick to eat salary. It’s just a piece to trade later.

We traded over half of our remaining cap dude. We have 1.2 million in cap space.

Very true but With trades and LTIR, they can make something work.

To be fair, deadline deal cap space is different. If it’s a deadline deal then the incoming cap space is prorated. We have just under $6M in deadline cap space. That’s more than though to make a move.

For those unfamiliar with deadline cap space, it’s essentially prorated cap space. When a deadline deal occurs, the incoming players cap is prorated to just the remaining days in the season which would be 42 days.

Thats if we cheese the cap. My point is the fact Waddell traded 1.3(or half of our actual cap) for a 6th round does not suggest we are making any moves.

Cheat?

It’s not cheating. Deadline cap space is available to every team, that’s why it’s important to have as much cap space heading into the deadline as possible. It would be cheating the cap if we started putting players on LTIR.

Also, Raanta was put on IR. I definitely think that signals that at least one move is going to be made as we’ve opened up a roster spot. There might even be a couple moves made.

Except Donny Wads said Freddie will be back this week(probably Thursday) which accounts for the roster space.

We’ll see, I bet he’s not back until after the Friday deadline when the roster size no longer matters.

We’ll see. Donny wads made it clear he’d be back this week though.
