I am curious what pick they may get. Maybe a 5th or 6th for that 8th year.
I have read a few people thinking chicago may throw a lot at him.
Who’s going to pay a pick for his rights when he’s likely going to Vancouver.

As a Hawks fan, I'd rather they not throw a bunch of money at him. We are nowhere close to being competitive again and hes going to be 30 when next season starts. No thanks.

No Guentzel, Teravainen, or Necas back next year. Very curious to see what the Canes are planning with their forwards cause that just leaves Aho, Svech, and Jarvis as top 6 guys.

As a Canes fan, I was hoping they'd try and get something worked out. I imagine he's seeing serious dollar signs from teams that have a ton of cap space. Canes have space, but not for something over 10 mil x 7rs.

Eh... if he is willing to go to FA from a playoff team then he isn't going to sign here before FA. He probably already has a place in mind

It could make them decide to hang onto Necas

This most likely means Necas stays and maybe Pesce, there are a few other forwards available like Reinhart could be a blessing in disguise

They could but if the story is right that he requested a trade, it's going to cause problem in the Canes dressing room. IMO

RIP Fugu
I am fine with throwing a bunch of $ at him
Just not term
3-4 years overpaid = Sure
5-7 years = Hell no!
Rather see them try to bring back Teravainen

I wonder if Carolina would be willing to facilitate a sign-and-trade so the acquiring team can tack-on the 8th year.
If I recall, that is what NJD and CBJ did with Damon Severson when he was a pending UFA. They got a 3rd round pick for that.

If he wants the big bucks, go to Chicago. Tons of space and they could really use him riding shotgun with Bedard but your chances of winning anytime soon are near zilch.
I think he ends up going to Nashville honestly.

Two reasons:
(1) Lower the AAV to fit him onto their cap
(2) In all likelihood, the 2nd half of that contract wouldn't be that GM's problem to solve

They’d have to pay around 11 to get Reinhart away from Barkov

I suppose the current iteration of the Canes wasn’t getting it done in the playoffs so why not change some things. As a Canes’ fan though, I’m not sure I expected this potential amount of change.
I do think with Guentzel gone, it’s likely they end up keeping Necas, unless they get a comparable forward back in a trade, but who is giving up that? Zegras seems to be the only comparable forward potentially available, but not sure the Canes would be interested. You’d also have to have the Ducks on board and willing to pay Necas what he wants, unlikely. And then, you’d have to reconcile Zegras’ style with Brind’Amour’s…ew
Then on top of Necas and Guentzel, you have all their other UFAs and oh by the way, your GM just left too.
To say I’m intrigued by what the heck they’re good to end up doing is an understatement
Wouldn't be surprised if this is Vegas. They may want to upgrade RW1, but still be able to circle back to Marchessault last minute.
Pagnotta was on NHL radio this morning and said he's heard Guentzel wants to hit July 1 because he wants to play for a winner. He could return to Carolina, but wants to evaluate his options. DP said Guentzel's going to be going to teams and saying "On a 7 year contract, how many of those 7 years will we be a contender?"
I've had a feeling Guentzel would end up in Vegas going back to the deadline. I dunno why. No idea how yall make it all fit under the cap
Yes, because a soon to be 30-year-old goal scoring winger is something that they’ve never gotten from the Carolina hurricanes. Really. f*** sake.

Honestly curious where he lands. I keep hearing Vancouver, but I don't see the fit, need, or space. So that means it's probably happening.
