I imagine the Canes are bummed given how they optimize days like today.

F*** it! YOLO!Freidman just said Pitt and Carolina for karlsson
If we do that, it’s gotta mean both Pesce and Skjei are out.Freidman just said Pitt and Carolina for karlsson
Yep. Kill two expiring contracts for the price of one retained elite defenseman.If we do that, it’s gotta mean both Pesce and Skjei are out.
I truly think Burns is a considerably better all around defenseman than EK at this point, despite EK's Norris season last year. Orlov-Burns would be an absolutely absurd 2nd pairing but I don't think Slavin with EK would be better than Slavin and Burns were last year.I'm way more comfortable with Karlsson with the Orlov signing. Orlov is MUCH more sound defensively than Skjei is, meaning that Burns will still have free reign on the second pair. Slavin-Karlsson has the potential to be one of the more mind-bending pairings the league has seen in years.
Yea we'll get bent over a barrel if we don't clear room first, otherwise we'll be the ones trade Pesce for Future Considerationsacquiring Karlsson puts in the cat bird seats for trades because we have 6 top 4 defenders now. although we would need to clear both to get under the cap with Karlsson added.
100% I'm on the same exact line of thinking as you!!I’m torn on the early results. I love Orlov and think it’s a great move. I wanted healthy goalies, so I’m concerned about them coming back with the same but I’m guessing improvements would’ve costed too much so we’re going to roll the dice.
Pretty much a meh burger on Bunting, but I need to let it sink in for a bit. If you gave me the choice of Marchment vs Bunting I’m taking Marchment all day so I don’t see that as a great turn at that spot. I think Bunting may be a decent Nino replacement, but when we had Nino we still needed to add a forward it felt like.
Too early. We clearly have more moves coming after Orlov got signing. There’s likely another forward coming, though maybe not immediately.

With the Orlov signing and TDA still likely coming in, one has to go anyways. Trading for EK would mean that both have to go (from both a cap and roster perspective).IMO We need to trade either Skjei or Pesce before we complete a EK trade, reasoning is other teams will see we are Defense heavy and the price goes down.
Not to get too tin-foily, but a non-zero chance the Aho extension is in the hopper and they pause on announcing it until Twitter gets a bit more functional again.Bluesky can't come fast enough.
