Really good deal. Surprised chatfield didn’t test market definitely think he could of got more a year or two more and more money but happy he’s back in Raleigh

I think it's a smart move for Chatfield to take only 3 years, probably taking a bet on himself. He might have a chance to be a 2nd pair guy here. If he keeps that job locked down and proves his worth, he might be able to get like 4.5-5.5m on his next deal at age 31.

Also the NMC means he likes it here and thinks that he is maybe betting on just that. I don't have a problem with chats at 3m. A little high but okay.

REALLY need to see pesce or Skjei stay.

We have real roster issues, that's for sure

Now I'm just waiting to see the team's announcement and if they try to slip in a sneaky quote from Canes GM Eric Tulsky.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Comes in under the Clifton comp from last year, despite the cap spike. He probably needed a little incentive to do that.

At average D allocation (over the past 6 seasons), there's ~$6 mil left to spread across 2, probably 3, defensemen. That's enough for a fringe Top 4 type, a rookie and minimum spare.

Bump up the allocation to the mid point between the average and max, and there's ~$8.2 mil available for that group. That opens up the door for a Top 4 D.

Pesce is gone and so is Skjei. Pesce 100 percent Skjei probably 95. You can’t run a right side of Burns Pesce Chatfield there’s just not enough offence.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

pesce is likely going to the Isles if they trade Pulock for Ehlers, vancouver if they trade Hronek or to Toronto

 

[Svechhammer]

That's a low-key important signing for us

If the Canes want a 3-deep left side again, I wonder if Ryan Lindgren is an option for the Canes. Rangers may not be able to afford him if they want to permanently upgrade their RW, as they've publicly stated.

Look, we re-signed one of our own. Now some folks can pipe down a bit!

Consider me piped down, Chatfield was always the one I thought was most likely to come back but I figured he could get more than this on the market. The first step taken is a positive one as far as I’m concerned. I don’t want him as the for sure second pair RD but he’s been a good player and a good fit for the system.

Fantastic news

 

[cptjeff]

Good news, and I like that contract. I like what he brings and was expecting that number to be closer to a 4 than a 3, so good work there. He paid a bit for that NMC, and his unspectacular playoff probably helped lower that number too. I think he's a better player than what he showed there (and there are always undisclosed injuries that can explain it too), so I'm confident he'll perform well.

Like others, I expect them to bring in another guy to be the 2RD, so he'll be 3rd pair with Morrow playing in the AHL.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Glad we've got him back. That tracks with the idea that we'll likely just move last year's 3rd pairing to the 2nd and then sign a big bruiser to play 3rd pairing with a rookie D to fill out the 6/7 spots.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

$3 mil SB for Bunting in Year 1
$3 mil SB for Orlov in Year 1
69% (!) of total compensation in SBs, including $2.75 mil in Year 1, for Chatfield

 

[Discipline Daddy]

Definitely moves the needle from "full blown panic" on the 24-25 defense to "it will probably be a lot worse but not suck." Like the signing. Interesting he got a no movement clause for effectively a 3rd pair guy. He must really like it here, especially by signing a completely fair deal at nice term for the Canes so close to free agency.

I mean I guess that's good

 

[Unhinged Finn]

3x3 megadollars not great, not terrible.

Jokes aside, happy to see him back.

 

[HisIceness]

I'm good with this. Figured he'd get a little more on the open market but he's a good player to have around.

Bravo for chatty. Needed this contract to make some good money.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Never work again money. Nicely done Chatty.

It is, but it needs context. They were very sheltered comparatively.

Agreed and I thought they were challenged in the Ranger series. Chatty had challenges with the bigger wingers.

But, glad to have them back.

 

[To Be Determined]

Love it. Now to go see if Tripp has tweeted something michigany at him to celebrate.
