Normally one could pass this off as a hypothetical or a conspiracy theory.Duh it means Keefe better win because his replacement is already in place
This one though is a bright neon sign right in the face. Keefe is going to be under the gun to win and win consistently all season long, because he's eye-to-eye with his replacement every single day.

Carolina GM has put together quite a team this offseason. Personality aside that’s a great deal for dangelo.

As if I didn't already despise the Canes enough, they go out and get Bunting, Lemieux, and now DeAngelo. Not too many NHL teams going to be able to out-puke Carolina.
Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz dies at 70
Wirtz, who died Tuesday in Evanston after a brief illness, made a dynasty out of the Hawks. His investment on and off the ice after taking over in 2007 led to three Stanley Cups and a tremendous surge in popularity. But the Hawks’ sexual assault scandal complicated his legacy.

Rocky’s road: Wirtz remembered as fans’ friend in the stands, fierce fighter in the boardroom
As Blackhawks owner, Rocky Wirtz mingled with fans grateful for the three Stanley Cups the team brought home. He also built and ran a real estate and beverage empire.

I didn't realize that the Flyers had bought out DeAngelo. Kind of funny on the Canes part that they refused to trade for him but simply waited until Philly bit the bullet and just cut him loose, then they swooped in and got their man for nothing. Torts and DeAngelo were never going to get along, and the guy's obviously got issues, but he was a good player for Carolina and they'll back themselves to get the best out of him again.
Pretty clear what the Canes are trying to do adding these three guys - they've been too soft the last couple of years and it's hurt them in the playoffs. This is their attempt not so much to toughen up but add some guys who can agitate and push back a bit against opponents. Makes sense. Not sure it's what's going to put them over the top, but no doubt they'll be very competitive again next season.

With the cap going up the Canes deal with Aho seems very fair. They now have their top center locked up for the rest of his prime. He's a top-flight two-way center who is a royal pain in the rear to play against -- forechecking beast with plenty of offensive skill when needed. Would love to have him on the Bs on that deal now that Bergy is gone. As much as I dislike them, have to admit the Canes are absolutely killing it this summer. Canes-Devils is going to be quite the rivalry over the coming years.

Murray is an enigma. If you look at his play following the two Cup-winning seasons with Pittsburgh, it's hard to believe he could have been a big part of those teams, but he was. He took the starting job from Fleury and then came up huge in many clutch situations. He was a big game goalie. Then he proceeded to go into steep decline. Did scouts find weaknesses that he couldn't fix? Injuries haven't helped but it's hard to believe he has lost his game so completely.

The millions the Bruins had to pay him to go away because they've never heard of Google probably got him a nice pad in Slovakia.

I still hope he turns his life around and can get past the things he did as a teenager and grow as a person. Getting as far as possible away from North American media scrutiny is probably the best thing for that.
I think its a fair deal, not an overpay with the cap going up next year. He has been the #1 C on one of the best teams vin the NHL the last two seasons and is 26.
