Confirmed with Link: Hurricanes sign Jesper Fast - 2m per/3 years

[Wolfpuck]

Rangers fans seem pretty upset about it....so , must mean we gone done good

Good idea: Drafting Alexei Lafrenière and trading Marc Staal

Bad idea: Signing Jack Johnson and losing Jesper Fast

 

[Canes]

So it's Jesper Fast, Brady Skjei, Joey Keane for Adam Fox, Julien Gauthier and a 1st

I can live with that

In terms of players:

Brady Skjei
Joey Keane
Jamieson Rees
Anttoni Honka
Noel Gunler

for

Adam Fox
Julien Gauthier
Braden Schneider

A lot of "we'll see" on both sides, but I am excited for the Rees/Honka/Gunler trio, at least right now.

 

[pld459666]

No bullshit.

This is a good deal.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Also, for fun, here's how the Faulk and Skinner deals have turned out:

First, The Faulk Tree:

To St. Louis:

Justin Faulk
2021 5th Round Pick (CAR)

To Montreal:

Joel Edmundson

To Los Angeles:

Ben Meehan (MTL 2020 5th)

To Carolina:

Dominik Bokk
Lucas Mercuri (LAK 2020 6th)
2021 7th Round Pick (LAK)
2021 7th Round Pick (STL)

Second, The Skinner Tree:

To Buffalo:

Jeff Skinner

To Florida:

Markus Nutivaara
Scott Darling's Buyout
Emil Djuse (ran to the KHL)

To Columbus:

Cliff Pu, ahem, I mean cap space

To Dallas:

Evgeni Oksentyuk (BUF 2020 6th)

To Carolina:

James Reimer
Pyotr Kochetkov (BUF 2019 2nd)
Alex Nikishin (BUF 2020 3rd)

Futures are futures, but we'll see how it works out.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

And my favorite tree of all, the Marleau tree:

To Toronto:

Axel Rindell (CAR 2020 6th)

To Carolina:

Patrick Marleau's buyout
Seth Jarvis (TOR 2020 1st)
Alex Pashin (TOR 2020 7th)

If Jarvis pans out, as he probably will, it will already be a win for Carolina. If Pashin is as good as I think that he can be (huge if, but it's the 7th round!), it will be one of the most laughed-about trades in modern NHL history.

A ton of Toronto fans wanted Jarvis with their pick, so us getting the guy they wanted using their original pick puts a huge smile on my face.

Isn’t the Fast tree the best

to Canes
Sanguetti
Fast

to Rangers
Development of Fast

 

[FoxyClean]

The amount of Ranger fans coming in here should tell you guys all you need to know. You're gonna love this guy.

Whoa....

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Love this signing!
This organization really has it's shit together. A solid (and still building) NHL roster and a terrific prospect pool has my hopes up.

 

[Lempo]

What a wicked game.

You are not only surrounded by. You are.

 

[Vagrant]

you win a lot with guys like fast in your lineup. the only danger here is how much of brind'amour's heart he takes

True I didn't even think about the picks we got for Fox. I am even more alright with the "trade" now.

Braden Schneider sounds like a character from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade remake that got updated to the 2010s sensibilities.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Find you someone who talks about you the way @TheRillestPaulFenton talks about the Borg


I'm an optimist but god damn. You could be a political campaign manager the way you make everything sound like the best thing ever.

I joke, I've enjoyed your presence on the board, as mostly a lurker.

 

[AD Skinner]

I wonder what number he'll wear for the canes. He's worn 12, 17 and 19 for the rangers; with 17 being retired and 19 in use by hamilton it'll be really weird to see someone wear 12. Not sure i would be in favor of it being retired though so I guess that's bound to happen eventually

Hamilton is finally free to go back to #27, so #19 may get freed up.

I've been considering asking RealPF to say something negative about the front office or ownership recently. I'm with you. I'm very optimistic but I'm not afraid to say I'm not a fan of a move but they've earned the benefit of the doubt. Even sometimes when I think they've done a good job I can't galaxy brain it to the levels RealPF does.

Yeah that’s getting retired. No sense in getting pissy about retiring the franchises all time leading scorers number. Unless Aho stays here forever that’s gonna stand.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Also, congrats to our Swedish fan(s). Been a good week for you.

 

[DougieSmash]

He was free to change the number after Faulk trade but didn't

 

[spockBokk]

No he wasn’t.

I don’t believe you can change numbers after training camp has started. Faulk had #27 and was on the Canes’ training camp roster to start last season, then traded. It was too late to go from #19-#27. It’s a weird rule, but one nonetheless.

We’ll see if he goes to #27 now

 

[HisIceness]

What a wicked game
