The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
They need to plan ahead in hopes of Duechane doing well and wanting to stay
Its unlikely, but I wouldnt rule it out. Cap increasing and he takes a somewhat team friendly ($5x4yr or something, depending on production) and Pavs either retires or does another 1 yr bonus laden contract. And/Or faksa or marchy is traded
 
I think the plan ahead is Bourque and Stankoven taking that next step in 2024-25 to take some of the fowards spots that will be open.
Agreed, but man I was hoping to see Stank full time this season already lal.

I'm not as high on Bourque as some but I'd like to see how he handles the NHL sooner than 2024. I guess injury problems to top six players will be the only way that happens.

I think we should call the Hurricanes.

Marchment, Faksa, Stranges, Hakinpaa and Ty Dellandrea
For
Pesce, ???? and a filler.
Then we move our attention to
Tarasenko.

This way we will have the space to move on from certain players once they make ready Stankoven and Bourque.

Sign Stastny and Dumba

This also makes sure Harley is up and Nils.

I don’t think Carolina wants a grab bag of mediocre to bad players/contracts for Pesce. No team really wants that.

I think they only trade him if they can land EK, in which case they will likely want futures for Pesce as they will need cap space.

What is Pesce worth signed for 1 year? Bourque + a 1st? Bourque + a 2nd? I have no idea. Then we have to move out a contract like Faksa or Marchment to fit Pesce. We are going to have to give up some value to make it all happen.
 
Robertson, Hintz, Pavalski
Benn, Johnston, Duchane
Tarasenko, Seguin, Dandanov
Stastney, Stankoven, Steel
Bench: Bourque, Harley

We sign Dumba.
Miro, Pesce
Lindell, Dumba
Suter, Nil

Ottinger and Wedgewood
Trading faksa and marchement doesn’t clear enough space to sign dumba , tarasenko and trade for Pesce .

Don't forget trading Wedgewood and a 4th rounder to Winnipeg for Hellebuyck to give Oettinger a solid backup.
 
When this team has Bischel, Dellandrea, and Angus all playing together it will easily win the cup. Too many future captains on one team to not win
