Roster Building XXI: It Gon' Go Down.

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

With Reinhart winning a cup, scoring the cup-winning goal, and having a ridiculous season on top of that, he's probably the one guy who's most likely to get some white elephant contract, the hockey equivalent to Saudi football money, from some terrible team.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

It could be postering but

Nashville isn’t trading either of their goalies this weekend

Debrusk hasn’t had productive contract talks with Boston

According to their respective GMs

Reinhart to Al Hilal (e4)

 

[whiskers]

8.5 for 8 is already too much. 9 is absurd.

what about 9 for 7 yrs and last year 1 mil , front loaded , would work out to 8 mil a yr , I'd do that

The variability rules for the multi-year contracts won't allow that. In the latest MOTUs they made the allowed differences between years even less steep.

Canes have made another strong offer according to Lebrun.

Upped our previous offer to give JG something to think about

Rumor of Verhaeghe extension 6 years 8-8.5 makes the Reinhart situation that much more interesting

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Anyone else besides me like Janmark as a depth forward? Like what I saw from him in the playoffs. Thanks

A 4th liner getting paid because of a playoff round.

That's like being interested in Connor Brown bc he got a SH breakaway goal

Or Tim Brent because he embarrassed a Canes 5 on 3 power play.

Forget Reinhart. That's the comparable we should be presenting to Guentzel.

 

[NotOpie]

I'm guardedly confident. Whatever the FO chooses to do, their track record has been stellar enough for me to be content either way. If there's any UFA to make an exception for besides Slavin and Aho, however, it's Guentzel.

A bit clingy for me…

It's actually not as much out of love as much as it is out of admission that I don't know much about hockey and that it's better to quietly watch guys who know what they're doing.

For sure, Guentzel has a few more years of proven production and a better playoff ppg, so I think giving Guentzel an extra two years at that same price is fair.

I gotta think with him having liked the area a lot, gelling with Aho, cup contention for the duration of his contract if things continue to well, all of those things should lean towards us being able to get a deal done. Unless the guy with two cups really wants to squeeze any extra dollar out of the contract.

As nice as Vancouver is I bet he’d end up burning through whatever extra money he could get from them compared to living here.

 

[Francis10]

As a Canadian FYI Vancouver is so expensive. I know they are all millionaires, but your money definitely goes a lot further in Raleigh compared to Canada.

 

[DaveG]

scratch Mangiapane off as the Calgary centerpiece for Necas

 

[Stickpucker]

It'd be worth if he could teach the boys how to score on a break away.

Expectations are signing Guentzel tomorrow and trading necas

My only qualms are the Canes are potentially signing a soon-to-be-30 year old top-6er and trading a 25 year old top-6er, which isn't the usual way of business for the Canes. Considering the Necas trade request, though, it makes perfect sense in that context. Get the assets for a guy who wants 1st line minutes elsewhere and maintain our firepower moving forward.

While we’re here how about we include flipping our return for Necas in a package for a big and physical top 6 right handed RW who’s a good net front presence to help balance out the lines?
