Chatmandoo resigned!

[PantherChris]

This needed to happen! 

Especially with him and Orlov being the likely second pair!

Great news

[t96]

Our future RHD room had a ton of question marks going into this offseason, glad we took care of 1 spot already. It's a good price and term for Chatty. Very good chance he outplays this deal but there is some risk of it being a slight overpayment for a guy more suited for the 3rd pair. If he and Orlov as expected wind up being our 2nd pair, I'm confident and comfortable in them being an above average 2nd pair, but we do have to see it first. It was ridiculous having them as a 3rd pair last year, though really too bad Pesce got hurt in the playoffs.

 

I don't think this rules out keeping Pesce necessarily but he probably walks. So we've got Burns, Chatty, Morrow next year. Not terrible if we keep the big forward guns like Guentz and Necas but if we don't we definitely still need to add to the RHD group IMO. Morrow ideally plays most of next year in the AHL. And Burns' play slipped down the stretch last year and he's going to be a year older and is already the oldest player in the league. 

 

I don't want to trade Necas but if we do, barring him being just 1 piece in a big forward upgrade, I hope we get a legit cost controlled top 4 RHD back.

They looking for high level star power providing prospects for Necas. There’s 6 teams in the mix for him but no ones is meeting the asking price. Pesce has been gone, they tried to extend him last offseason and he declined because he wants more than 5x5AAV. 
 

turbo is 6m aav for 2-3 years. Jarvis is 7.75 aav and then chatfield at 3AAV. That leaves 10m in space and 6-7 roster spots. 

keep expectations down unless they hit on the Necas deal and can move KK with him.

I think KK stays and we try to move him mid-season or next season. That contract is going to require some salary cap jumps to make it more palatable.

Super amped to keep Chatty around. Majorly underrated player on our team.

Just got his jersey about 1 month ago. Glad it is good for another 3 years!!

[PleaseCutStewart]

He is such an underrated defensive defenseman for us. I honestly think he is second behind slavin. I think that is a great deal that we got for him.

Pesce leaving is a forgone conclusion and I can't say the same for Skjei. Unfortunately, this team is built on defensive scoring, and if the 2nd D pair is indeed Orlov and Chatty, there will be a huge drop-off there.

Chatty is a great move. Been saying for a long time he's playing at a 2nd pair level. I'm more concerned with Orlov's lapses and turnovers for the amount of money he's getting. I'd rather get Skjei back and put Chatty on the 2nd pair with him.

In this scenario they better hit on Necas - KK is probably unmovable with that ridiculous contract, and it looks like they need the prospects in the pipe line to fill the roster. I'd like to keep Skjei if at all possible

[Anybodyhome]

I don't think Necas or Guentzel stays. Sorry, there is absolutely no indication that there's a chance either of them stays unless there are some serious and very quiet talks going on. And, as good as Waddell was at keeping things close to the vest and out of the press, I'm not sure how that continues.

But, I'll gladly eat some crow if the Canes manage to keep just one of the 2. I just don't think the bank account allows for it.

Well, if there is a dman we have to bail out orlovs turnovers, it's Chat

They almost had kk tied to Necas at the trade deadline. So it’s possible and I believe it’s one of the things they are trying to do with the Necas trade. Canes will probably retain some of his salary but not a lot of it and get a haul for Necas at the same time.

I will dislike losing Necas but if we can unload KK too, that would be worthwhile.

It gives us a ton of flexibility moving forward.
