Rumor: Tarasenko fires agents

[Taluss]

Damn great add

 

[DaveG]

I don't know that tda is still happening, is it? I thought that died when the bigger Kevin Hayes'to the blues deal died

Waddell basically confirmed that it still is just 2 days ago

 

[dugg133]

Not disputing the claim by any means, but who is Shayna? She's the current source that he chose CAR

Works for the Athletic, doesn't really try to be a typical insider and only puts stuff out there when she's certain. Can't remember her being wrong about something she's put out there yet.

This would be exactly what the Canes need: A 30-goal scorer who knows how to bury his opportunities.

Just hope he can stay healthy. Pacioretty was supposed to be that guy last year but unfortunately was befell by injuries.

Canes are having another solid offseason just like they did last year. Definitely will be cup contenders once again next year. They have the defense and competent goaltending but their offense has done them in during multiple post season runs.

 

[Zman5778]

Capfriendly has Carolina with 2 mill, no LTIR, but forwards they can send down to get to about 4 mill.

I imagine Tarasenko will be 5, so they'd maybe need to trade someone ?

They'll probably throw Svechnikov on LTIR.

 

[le_sean]

All the Canes need to do is finally stay healthy.

 

[spockBokk]

With TDA they are barely cap compliant

Teaurveinen going ?

Much more likely they have a trade for Pesce lined up.

CapFriendly is a little misleading. They have more than $2M in space. Send down Ponomarev, Suzuki and Rees, who all won’t be on roster next year, and they have over $4M. If they trade Pesce, the then have over $8M. Subtract $2.5M for TDA and they have $5M to offer Tarasenko.

If nothing else, I think this takes them out of the Karlsson sweepstakes, but who freaking knows. They’ve been uber aggressive so far, they might find a way there too.

Deangelo deal is in place around July 10
Nhl won’t allow him to go till he’s on another team for 12 months . Goofy yes

 

[AirGut]

sigh

And she has been pretty accurate with some Rangers and Canes related content in recent years.

First one to break the Skjei trade down to the return being a first round pick.

I agree, the team to beat in the East.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

The guy who's been screaming "shoot the puck" since I started following the team in 2009 will be pleased.

Used to be with <10k in there you could hear him clearly.

So Canes probably wont go after Karlsson now????

 

[spockBokk]

Probably not, but I wouldn’t count them completely out just yet

Ohhhhhhh cap circumvention rules lol

 

[Brock Anton]

Don’t think the two moves are related.

We still have the ability to get both Tarasenko and Karlsson by moving Pesce, Skjei and Teravainen. At least one of Pesce/Skjei are probably getting moved as is.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Canes seem like a good home for Vladi. Medium Market team, Media isn't insane, good city (from what I know), and a need for his skill (goal scoring ability). Hopefully it works out well for both Vladi and Carolina.

Hope Canes are out, I want my Pens to get him.

Orlov, Bunting, Tank, ADA, Karlsson, Lindholm (well, it was discussed). That has to be a first in NHL history that many names go to 1 team.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

He knows a guy who knows a guy.

Who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows another guy, who knows this other guys cousin twice removed, who has an uncle, who knows this guy that knows where Tarasenko is going to sign.

The Canes had an absurd amount of cap space compared to what contenders normally have going into this offseason, and they also had a huge share of pending UFA expirings (Aho/Skjei/Pesce) that they wanted to deal with early and/or pivot away from. It was well-poised to be a rather crazy offseason affair this time.

 

[Bouboumaster]

They are stacked lol

 

[PensandCaps]

Waddell basically confirmed that it still is just 2 days ago

I don't understand wanting TDA from Carolina's perspective, with Burns there.

 

[Beerz]

I think LeBrun or some other Insider throws her some tidbits every now and then

We say that every year

Well shit, if you get Karlsson too i'm going to sit in a corner with a mad face.
