Confirmed with Link: [car/nash] Mark Jankowski for a 2025 5th

As mentioned in other posts, he's signed through next season at a dirt-cheap $800K cap hit and has some of the best underlying numbers of any 4C in hockey.

I don't know why, but everytime I hear/read his name, I keep thinking he's some big bruising defensemen from the 90s/00s.

 

[whiskers]

Ed Jovanovski , if he's half what he was , great!

 

[Preds Partisan]

Congratulations on Janko. Every Pred that escapes the crushing death spiral that Trotz and Brunette have created seems to do alright with their new team. We'll probably give that 5th rounder back to you anyways with Trotz in charge so it's like you got a free player.

 

[To Be Determined]

I like it. I've liked jost, but think (hope?) this is an improvement.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

All I know about this guy is that he was a major reach by Calgary in his draft year

 

[Stickpucker]

Welcome to Carolina.

But imagine being this dude and walking into our locker room. I hope the team greets him warmly.

Might as well hand us the Cup with this game-breaking acquisition

Here's our 4C some of us were speculating on. Kudos to those of y'all who foresaw taking one of McCarron or Sissons from Nashville. This is adjacent to that. Bonus points this locks up the spot at basically league min for next year as well. This gives us 10 forwards signed for next year, with only Robinson, Roslovic, and Hall as our notable UFAs.

Roslovic is probably the only forward UFA that walks. The Hall extension is rumored to be close to finalized and the Robinson extension will likely be penned in the offseason.

With our oodles of cap space we could re-sign Robinson to 1 year, $10M for the lols and still be completely fine cap-wise.

We'll probably do some crazy 1 year contracts next year and then use the expiration of those contracts to pay it all to 8 year extensions to Stankoven, Nikishin, Morrow, and Blake.

Speaking of Hall, weren’t the canes working on a deal with him?

It’s gone quiet and I hope Hall isn’t being money pucked.

Btw: right now I don’t see the Canes spending to the cap.

They will spend to the cap, but likely on a bunch of high-dollar 1-2 year contracts. They probably want to make sure their big Gen Z wave is paid throughout their prime.

First off the free agent market is weak.

Thus, why spend big bucks on remaining second tier class of available players? Save the money to monetize assets for other teams trades (or another big splash of a player to be named next year)

Thus the solution is to pay high salaries, but for one year.

No sense paying for meh talent. Don’t agree at all. Save the $$$ and monetize like Canes did a few years ago.

Not even sure Robinson gets extended now if Hall does and Carrier will be back not to mention Jankowski here now there might not be room

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I like Robinson, but we really gotta load balance our 4th line grinders. Staal, Martinook, Carrier, Robinson, Jankowski now, that’s a lot of guys fitting the grinder mold.

 

[spockBokk]

Getting Jankowski with an extra year of term at $800k may put a lid on them bringing back Robinson, especially with Martinook/Carrier also having term left and them rumored to also be bringing back Hall

Potentially, unless certain scoring guys are scared off by what happened to Guentzel and Rantanen. We might have to spend a bunch on defense and goaltending that we wanted to spend on scoring.

Maybe their WAGs won't like Raleigh either, but the one thing they can't do is say we aren't willing to offer a big contract after the Mikko dealings. We offered up to 13m with a lot of term for a guy that did f*** all here.
