Confirmed with Link: Shayne Gostisbehere to Carolina for a 2026 3rd

[Canes]

I would be surprised if we are actually done.

2.6 million is still plenty. Move Coghlan and we have 3.368 million.

Who is on an expiring contract that we could fit still? I ask because I don't think they add more than another rental type piece.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

They’re either going to look really smart or clueless in a few months. We shall see.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'll still be surprised if there isn't another depth forward move. It won't likely move the needle, but we've had enough forwards go down in the playoffs that I think it will happen.

 

[StormCast]

Maxi Domi come on down - with just a little retention. No offense.

Yep, and with retention, or even double retention, that could be a very good scoring forward. not saying it will happen, but the $2.6M can be misleading.

 

[MinJaBen]

I'm just glad they didn't try to put lipstick on a pig after missing on Meier. Sending the first out in a deep draft for a meh forward with term would have been as disappointing as missing on Timo.

There's still time!

I've said it before, it's not like you can make anything happen, but teams that really want to make something happen can find a way. It wasn't that long ago that it seemed like Kane was going to have to move on from his Rangers fetish, and here we are.

Seems to be what we are trying for this week

 

[Sigurd]

Pool party and Gost given the cap space, prospects, and picks that we had is a pretty bad deadline

Very.

If we even get a top 6 forward with what little space we have left, he's gonna have retention, and he sure as heck won't be Lindholm.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Bertuzzi fits in there with some retention if Detroit comes down on their asking price.

We could get less expensive bruiser Trenin from Nashville

A few options are there

 

[Canes]

They’re either going to look really smart or clueless in a few months. We shall see.

I doubt it. They basically gave up nothing so it will be hard to critique them on that alone. Otherwise the same criticisms from the past season or two still stand. Of course if they win it all, they will be geniuses. But if we go out the same way as usual, I see a lot of the same excuses still standing.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

what ew why

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Not really a fair comparison, since the Rangers WERE done after acquiring Tarasenko, and it was only Kane using his influence over the Chicago organization that allowed them to get him for as cheap as they did.

 

[MinJaBen]

There's still time!

Yeah, if your idea of Tiffoli with retention....for two more years....were actually a possibility, we'd need lots of them firsts.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I don’t see Calgary retaining on anyone. They need cap space next year.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I just meant from a cap perspective. The conversation was on what we can get with our current cap.

 

[Weltschmerz]

great value for a third

 

[DaveG]

I'll still be surprised if there isn't another depth forward move. It won't likely move the needle, but we've had enough forwards go down in the playoffs that I think it will happen.

oh I think we'll get another depth forward, problem is we need a bit more than that IMO. Really irks me that Arizona did the additional 25% retention on Kane but wouldn't retain at all on this one.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Canes fans then: "Let's do one of those great walk down the hall trades with that guy from Arizona."

Canes fans now: "Not that guy and that hall!!"

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Seems to be what we are trying for this week

I don't know. With Ghost, there's no defense of that comment.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I mean, depth that costs us literally nothing but money we've already spent is fine, I guess. And apparently Ghostbear has "revived his career in AZ" or whatever, but dang.

I guess points can come from wherever. Maybe they think Chatfield can carry him on the 3rd pairing?

 

[MisterDobz]

I would be surprised if we are actually done.

2.6 million is still plenty. Move Coghlan and we have 3.368 million.

Yup, they’re just lining up out there asking for Coghlin…

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

They only have 1 retention spot left and maybe needed it for Chychrun?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Also, this deal completes a nice little circle between Carolina, Arizona and Philadelphia.

Carolina gets: Ghost, 2022 4th, 2023 3rd, 2024 2nd
Arizona gets: 2022 2nd, 2022 7th, 2026 3rd
Flyers get: TonyD

And every pick outside of the 2026 one belonged to Philadelphia.

…Poor Philly
