And remember, if you file for arbitration that takes you off the offer sheet market. So all those writers sitting around spinning up Necas offer sheet scenarios can go ahead and take the weekend off.

Yea, I’m in the same mindset with necas. If the guy finds a different team that fits his style and he puts up points, fine. He’s played long enough here under RBA’s system that I kinda think you have a good sense of his potential here.
Pesce played 4 games after his college season ended and 3 the next season before getting called up. Slavin played 14 and was recalled a few weeks after Pesce. That was the season Wisniewski played 47 seconds and also saw Trevor Carrick, Michal Jordan and Ryan Murphy play for the Canes.
The Coghlan trade is official, he goes for future considerations.

When two college kids with around a month in minor pro hockey immediately become the backbone of your D, you know you have a terrible roster. Hainsey was hanging on for dear life at 34 years old, Hanifin was way over his head in his rookie year and Slavin/Pesce basically saved the season by coming and being a reliable 20+ minute all situations pairing. That was the year that Jon Michael Liles was somehow playing first pairing minutes for a good chunk of the year and Rask was your No. 1 center by the end of the season as E Staal declined and Peters finally conceded that J Staal was a checking center. What an unwatchable mess.

Kind of. He's a more consistent impact player and more of a play driver, but a little less solid in the d-zone. Both are complimentary top 6 wingers, so it's an easy comparable. Ehlers gets hurt more, but is otherwise much more consistent than Turbo.
The Canes signed Josiah Slavin to a 2 year, 2 way contract. He’ll get $775k in the NHL, $150k in the AHL and a hefty $450k guarantee each year.

Umm ... OK. They need some AHL experience, I guess. Slavin the Younger is certainly not a threat to play on the big club and is too old to be a prospect, really. If you want a real lesson in just how stupid the Facebook fan base is, check out the comments under that announcement post. Also, lemme guess that this was a handshake addendum to Jaccob's contact extension.The Canes signed Josiah Slavin to a 2 year, 2 way contract.

Especially the part with the $450k guarantee. IIRC, the daily cap hits are based on a 185 day season. So to pay off the extra $300k above his AHL salary, he’d have to spend about 72 days on the NHL roster.
My thought exactly. There’s part of the home team discount.
And given the number of experienced bottom six forwards the Canes have available, it would take a team-wide outbreak of typhoid for him to log 72 NHL roster days.

we have 8 that can go ;but until the season is in full swing I'll still worry that someone has a brainworm
Still seeing a fair amount of reports tying Carolina to Ehlers and starting to see more speculation about Laine. Remember, Laine can't be moved until he's cleared out of the substance abuse program, which has yet to happen. I'm skeptical of those reports though. Carolina has been tied to Laine multiple times before, and the Waddell tie is there, so that's fairly easy "maybe there's a fit there" kind of stuff and every summer is rife with those. Personally, I think the Waddell thing actually hurts rather than helps, since he certainly didn't do his old friends any favors with that Necas time-wasting he pulled ahead of the draft. Laine is a gamble any way you look at it though, but if you could talk the Jackets into retaining a bit of money then somebody is gonna take it. Even at his worst in Columbus, he was still generating points, and he's still only 26. Ehlers makes more sense, but Carolina rarely goes with boring, sensible moves.
I've also seen some reports indicating that Anaheim might be interested in Necas. That could be interesting.

Fair. Although this summer it's more reputable sources talking about Ehlers ... not just fans. Although they're at it too.

The one thing that I don't care for is the idea that an Ehlers trade is Necas + something for Ehlers. Umm...no...Necas is younger, is not a pending UFA, and honestly is every bit as productive as Ehlers is. If anything its Necas for Ehlers + something else.
Question for the group....if you could choose between Ehlers and say a 3rd round pick for Necas OR Rutger McGroarty and a B level prospect for Necas, which would you prefer?
I would take a chance on McGroarty for multiple reasons, starting with the cap room the Canes could bank by not having Ehlers using up $6 million in cap space for his 50 points of offense. We of course would need to know that McGroarty is willing to sign with the Canes and is not going to Adam Fox us. Thoughts?

And Jarko was always the missing piece that would put the Canes over the top.
