William Carrier to the Canes

[andyt]

He gets 6 years, $2 million AAV per Seravalli. He only played 39 games last season, 6 goals, 2 assists after a career high of 16 goals the year before.

In this nasty summer heat of the Triangle, adding a Carrier to the fold simply will cool things off if nothing else!

Umm...building the 4th line?

So we have added in Carrier and Eric Robinson 2 bottom six wingers. Which is interesting because we need two top 6 wingers and a #2C.

Yeah ... no idea. But there's not enough cash in it to care that much

 

[StormChaserBH]

That much term for that deep depth is low key nuts. Oh well. I didn't expect to be pleased with any news today (other than the Slavin extension), so at least I'm not disappointed.

Lowered Expectations...probably the best mindset to have!

This is a sneaky good signing.

This is a sneaky good signing.

But for 6 years?

You will like him. Easily buried contract too if he fades. AHL allowance is already $1.15m. It'll be 1.5 at least by then

I like the player. Good piece. But considering what we’ve lost so far . . . .

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Addition by subtraction.

You'll need a program next season.

Can't look at it that way though. The Habs loaded up for the 21 run and fell short. Then lost 9 players. It happens. Plus the prices being paid today are ridiculous.

 

[cmaleski2]

Canes are going to end up with a lot of cap room to use after today it appears and no good UFAs to use it on.

Trades are going to be the way unless we are going to flush a season here and call it a rebuild/retool.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

The XM guys just said Skinner is the only big name left out there.

I swear I'll burn my Canes gear....

I think the latter in regards to flushing a season...I would not be shocked if they are ok with taking a step back and reloading if possible next summer...maybe squeak in a wildcard spot but this team will regress a ton next year.

Have to wonder how bad it really was to lose Waddell at that point.

Meh. Who knows. But we haven’t really lost anyone we weren’t expecting to lose. Especially after bowing out early again in the playoffs. You can’t bring everyone back and make significant changes. If they overpay for Guentzel and Skeji and Turbo and Pesce they not only lose cap space but where then can you make significant changes?

I liked Guentzel but he didn’t want to sign here. We need more ass in the top 6. If 2/6 are Aho and Jarvis then Guentzel and Turbo mean you can’t get physically stronger there. Now we can adjust things. Might take some time.
