If Verhaeghe was the one going out with no retention then it’s feasible to sign Bennett, just not Ekblad too. Most likely starting next season pretty similar to this season: Forsling-jones, Mikkola-Kulikov, balinskis-schmidt. Would obviously depend on what he’d re-sign for. Assuming 10-11.5per.I have to add to the consensus here, do not trade, or even dangle, Verhaeghe. As has been stated, he is a clutch playoff performer who is having a quiet year.
While Rantanen may be a good scorer, so is Carter. Rantanen doesn't seem to be lighting it up in Carolina as he has 1 goal, two assists, and is a -2 in his last 5 games (per nhl.com)
In addition to giving up Verhaeghe, it would mean no Bennett if Rantanen signed. Playoff Bennett scares the crap out of the opponents. That is an intangible that doesn't show in the stats the calculator boys like to use for players value.
No to Rantanen, yes to Carter and Sam.
I think he is a fine 6D. I don't think he is as strong as OEL last year, but I also believe Jones in better than 2023-2024 Montour.Schmidt is too underrated on here.

I want another player that can step in if there is an injury.
I think a guy like Jokiharju (Buffalo) could be a cheap acquisiton that could force Schmidt out of the line up
Wow. Ekblad for A. Boqvist and a 7th
What the shit does this guy want? Florida or bust a nut?

He wants MacKinnon to bring him back home.
God imagine the f***ing fumble by Carolina if Necas and Rantanen both sign in ColoradoHonestly, if Rantanen wants to play here badly, and is willing to sign a team friendly contract in line with what our other core players are signing, then just wait and pick him up in the offseason.
Yeah, I think it is more likely he goes back to Colorado.
Kaapo was traded for Vitek last March, so it all makes sense if you are trolling the goalie-verse.Confirmed.
Weird. lol

lmao. Their team is quality, but maybe living there isnt the best
NC is wonderful, great place to live.
Shot in the dark here, I think combination of management + locker room might be turning players away.
wait a minute..
