Roster Building XXI: It Gon' Go Down.

If Rutger Mcgroarty is truly available, he would be an interesting Necas return

Mcgroarty is an all time name. I called for the Canes to draft Stankoven back in the day for his name alone, and we’re regretting that one. Don’t pass up on acquiring Mcgroarty

Rutger, more like Buttger. Amirite

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Even $1 a month is paying too much for that site.

Yeah, it was much better before the NYT bought it and fired half the staff

If you can secure a commitment for sure they should be all over that

Nothing to add during the boring time before draft and free agency, except the title of this thread reminds me of one of Jim Carrey’s most underrated comedies:

Around an 1hr and 8mins in - Seravalli speculates the Canes’ offer to Guentzel is just under $8M x 8

https://x.com/i/web/status/1804220540384854270

Also, he doesn’t name the Canucks as favorites, but sure does mention a lot of things that Guentzel may “like” about Vancouver. Says they’ll need to offer around $9.5M x 7 to match Canes offer. Mentions that he doesn’t think the Canucks need to worry about giving up a pick to negotiate early.

I dunno, personally, were I the Canes mgmt team if all it took was a couple hundred more thousand to re-up Guentzel with that 8th year, I just do it.

Sure sounds like he’s Vancouver-bound regardless

What is the tax equivalent amount from Vancouver that Guentzel needs to match carokmna’s reported $64m offer?

I don’t know enough about their tax rules re: short year residency either.

I read that per Capfriendly’s tool the tax benefit was approximately $400k for Carolina. If that’s true it would take 7x9.5 to match an 8x8 offer.

Got a feeling we are going to end up signing something like Marchessault and Monahan.

Then hopefully not, but think Guentzel walks and we trade Necas for a young D man like Guhle or something.

Whatever you do, do NOT propose that on the trade board. Guhle is apparently more valuable than f***ing McDavid if you even ask Habs fans about him.

They could offer Reinbacher instead.

They really want it to be Matheson. It won't be.

 

[CandyCanes]

I feel like Necas for Shane Wright would feel right. Canes could potentially get their future right handed 2C.

Doesn’t Seattle view him as a bust so far?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

To my understanding, Seattle decided to do what a lot of teams are afraid to do: Allow their high draft pick to develop a bit instead of guaranteeing him a spot

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

No they just found a way not have him spend time in the AHL when others couldn’t. Granted it required them preventing him for playing for a while

 

[CandyCanes]

To my understanding, Seattle decided to do what a lot of teams are afraid to do: Allow their high draft pick to develop a bit instead of guaranteeing him a spot

Draft + 1
WHL post draft - 20 games | 37 points
AHL - 8 games | 6 points
NHL - 8 games | 2 points

Draft + 2
AHL - 59 games | 47 points
AHL Playoffs - 10 games | 10 points
NHL - 8 games | 5 points


Looks like good development growth each year.

Going to be real sad if we lose this chemistry.

Still am lost as to why RBA broke them up for zero reason.

I mean ideally JG decides to stay, Necas is traded for Rutger + some 2025 pick, and Rutger signs this off-season.

wait until you hear about the goalies

My assumption is that the injury Jarvis sustained in the Islanders series + Svech playing like an absolute beast made it an easy decision to switch.

I was just having a good day, too

 

[cptjeff]

My assumption is that the injury Jarvis sustained in the Islanders series + Svech playing like an absolute beast made it an easy decision to switch.

RBA's stated reason (after the playoffs ended) was that a few shifts in it was clear to him that they were being pushed around too much and he needed a stronger winger to play with Aho and Guentzel.

Still, I'd question why he was so damn sure after a few shifts against one team. Like, can't throw them together for a game against a completely different team we're having trouble getting offense against? Really?

Just posted this in the McG thread and wonder what ya’ll think

Carolina receives: McGroarty, WIN ‘24 1st
Winnipeg receives: Mailloux
Montreal receives: Necas
