Canes are consistently predictableAnother trade down.
Of course you never know if that was a stalking horse floated by the agent to set the market but damn if Canes wanted him, they should have accepted out of the gate.Definitely feels like Guentzel never thought we’d match his asking price and they’re trying to figure out how to decline it without looking bad.
no, but that means we'll have to really mend relationship with Necas, and probably need to look at doing something like getting Laine out of Columbus now.We lose Guentzel, we are looking at rebuilding.
LolWe lose Guentzel, we are looking at rebuilding.
Necas ship has sailed, I expect us to move him in a hockey trade. Maybe to Utah for Crouse to get some size back, and then go for March, and move for Laine?no, but that means we'll have to really mend relationship with Necas, and probably need to look at doing something like getting Laine out of Columbus now.

Maybe not.. it would require the Canes to land 2 top forwards in free agency. Like Marchessault and Lindholm for example. I am not expecting that either but an option.We lose Guentzel, we are looking at rebuilding.
yep. My initial assumption was that they moved Surge to bring back Stammer, but moving Jeanott as well tells me they're about to pull some bullshit.If Tampa is clearing space to take a run at Guentzal on the 1st, they wouldn’t do that unless they have a very solid belief he’d be available on the 1st. A belief they apparently didn’t have until today.
true, but I'm still suggesting Canes should pass on Laine.no, but that means we'll have to really mend relationship with Necas, and probably need to look at doing something like getting Laine out of Columbus now.
Triangle is a much better place to raise a family/live but clearly Florida markets are in vogue.yep. My initial assumption was that they moved Surge to bring back Stammer, but moving Jeanott as well tells me they're about to pull some bullshit.
don't disagree, but there aren't exactly a ton of good options out there. Would be ironic if we end up with Stamkos out of this but that's a best case scenario, and I'm pretty convinced he'll be done for in about 3 years anyway.true, but I'm still suggesting Canes should pass on Laine.
Laine was on pace for 80 points on Cbus... I think he can make it work with Aho.don't disagree, but there aren't exactly a ton of good options out there.
