2024-25 Canes Miscellaneous Thread

He did say "that could change" with regard to Burns and Orlov. I'm not sure Burns is going to get many offers at age 40, but Orlov will latch on somewhere if he wants. Or he can always go home to Russia if he can't find a fit he likes, like his agent talked about earlier this year.

With the remaining Cap, I'm expecting them to be all in on Ehlers until that's decided and then they can see where they stand. There's going to be a lot of moving parts for a lot of teams this summer. Not everything has to get done in one day.
 
The Stars couldn’t sign Granlund so presumably they’re going to use that saved cash to hold on to Robertson instead. However, they’re still about $2M over so they’ve got to move a decent asset.
 
I mean, there's no reason Dallas can't just punt on the Robertson thing until next summer. Their bigger issue is that they still only have 4 defensemen that they trust to play NHL minutes and they're over a million over the Cap right now. They've GOT to get rid of Dumba and or Lybushkin's contracts without taking on cost. That would free them up to fix that third pairing and then they can figure out Harley and Robertson later.
 
I think Robo is completely off the table, but they'll dump something in the $3-4M range unless they intend on going in to the trade deadline with their hands tied behind their back.

Cory Lavalette says that Primeau signed for the NHL minimum. A much easier negotiation than the Canes last one with his father.

They apparently haven't registered it yet, because that doesn't show up on any of the contract tracking sites. The again, everybody was sort of busy yesterday.
 
Primeau‘a contract was registered, 1 year, $775k, same salary in the AHL.

Noel Gunler signed his qualifying offer.

And we re-signed Tyson Jost, 1 year, $775k, $300 AHL salary, $600k guarantee. It received the appropriate level of notice from this board. TBF, I only just found it too.
 
I only saw the Jost announcement after dinner last night. He was a serviceable 13th forward, at least until he got hurt. Solid value for money.
 
NHL Radio guys in early October:
The Canes will definitely be taking a big step back by losing Brent Burns. Just unconscionable to let him walk away for nothing. He was their number 1 defensive option for the past 10 or whatever seasons he was there! Slavin only looked good because of Burns! They'll be lucky to be a wildcard team. They didn't make any other moves to improve their forward position. And no, none of us will ever watch any of their games this season until the Eastern Conference Championship that they will lose to the Panthers because they are definitely not making the playoffs.

Seems fair. I'd also rate Carolina's off season thus far as an A- ... good progress, taking some risks but continuing to transition towards more of a rush attack while still maintaining the forechecking presence. Still a few things to address, but it's early days. Hard to complain, given what the player market turned into.
 
The NHL schedule will be released at 1 today. What new and inventive ways will the schedule monkey screw us this year? More than 20 back to backs? A couple of extended west coast roadies?

Two road games to kick off the year in the NY/NJ corridor, swing back home for the home opener just before the State Fair...then jet off for the annual 6 game State Fair roadie swing during the Fair through exotic locales like Utah, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg...then why not back home on a boring Tuesday night vs Ottawa... ;)
