Rumor: Tarasenko

[MinJaBen]

They picked a hell of a year to legalize sports betting in NC

I’m starting to wonder if the legalized other shit without telling me…

 

[spockBokk]

FWIW:

 

[ElmCityGuy]

If Tarasenko signs then based on one site ranking free agents the Canes will have signed #1, #5, #8 (Anderson) and #10.

Another site has #2, #3, #8 ( Anderson), #11

 

[LakeLivin]

FWIW:

I'd guess it's probably worth quite a bit with respect to Tank's decision. Never had a clue that signing Orlov might bring a potential benefit like this one.

 

[Sigurd]

I mean… if we wanna go all in, this is the team as it stands today without any of the other irons in the fire becoming anything:

Tarasenko - Aho - Jarvis
Svech - KK - Necas
Bunting - Drury - TT
Martinook - Staal - Fast
Noesen

Slavin - Burns
Skjei - Pesce
Orlov - Chatfield
TDA

Like… idk guys. That’s a President’s Trophy type of roster.

(Mix around the lines as you wish, I know Tarasenko’s typically an off-side RW but idk if that’s Rod’s preference. Someone will have to do it though.)

Why stop there?

We still can get EK and Lindholm....

Exactly my friend.

Maybe we wait until the trade deadline though for a big trade and pursue Elias Pettersson if he requests a trade/doesn't want to re-sign with Vancouver. It will also be interesting how Matthews and Toronto shake out.

I'd guess it's probably worth quite a bit with respect to Tank's decision. Never had a clue that signing Orlov might bring a potential benefit like this one.

Since I brought up Pettersson, that's relevant to my point recently about how if we get Karlsson (one of the most famous and best Swedish hockey players of all time), that on top of having another Swede with Fast, could make Carolina even more appealing to him if he wants out of Vancouver.

The human connections certainly matter in this league.

 

[spockBokk]

I suppose all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the lack of deadline moves this past year can be put to bed. When they say they build the team in the summer, they friggin mean it.

 

[Borsig]

Sorry this is a vacation week for me but wtf.

Is this real? Me and my new my new gators friend here in hilton head are asking.

Also yes I am inebriated again.

Should I swap from lunazul to vodka just cause?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

FWIW:

So wait wait wait wait.

Wait.

If Orlov basically walked up to our GM and said "sign me" right at the same time that his best friend and godfather to his son happened to also hit free agency...

...then that means that at some point in the last couple of months, these dudes sat down and said "let's go play for Carolina together." Right?

Holy shit, dude. These is the motherf***in' times.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Oh a forward. NOW A FORWARD THAT DOESN’T BREAK… will he hopefully be.

 

[ElmCityGuy]

Safe to say that the home opener for the Canes will be a tough ticket to get.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

If it’s not us (the ship has sailed, I just hate it)…I don’t hate him going to you guys. You guys have become the “eastern team I sorta root for” so yeah, if this is true, treat him well.

I would do Bunting-Staal-Fast on 3rd line and Martinook-Drury-TT on 4th. If they even keep Tuevo. I could see Tuevo, Szjei and perhaps Drury being traded for a top power forward/2-way scoring forward.

Hurricanes in Mix for Tarasenko​

From: cardiaccane.com
Other than trade rumors, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta recently reported that free agent forward, Vladimir Tarasenko is close to making his decision and the Canes are up on the list of potential homes.
This would be an excellent and aggressive move to bring Tarasenko to Raleigh. The Russian winger has been an elite scorer in the NHL and has won a Stanley Cup. The injuries will certainly be a concern but it is time to make some moves before this window of contention closes.
The former 16th overall pick played last season with the St. Louis Blues and the New York Rangers. He tallied a total of 18 goals in 69 games. When healthy he has continued to produce 30+ goal seasons. He is a true sniper and has enough left to help this Carolina group.
The signing would certainly mean that other transactions would be needed as the forward group would be pretty crowded but being a contender allows you to worry about that later.
I think a Tarasenko addition would make the signing of Michael Bunting that much more meaningful and important.

The Carolina Hurricanes are not done with the off-season and may have their eyes set on Vladimir Tarasenko.

To get the most out of Bunting, with his style of play, he needs to be in the top 6. He's really not a fit on a checking line.

Yeah I'm thinking the Jordo line should be the same as the playoffs with Martinook and Fast. 3 very good role players at the kind of position and use the other 3 lines to load up.

Tarasenko-Aho-Jarvis
Svech-KK-Necas
Bunting-Drury-Turbo
Martinook-Staal-Fast

At the same time, if we do get Tank, I would turn our attention to a possible pickup of Lindholm, using Skjei, Pesce, Drury, or Turbo as a centerpiece. And if you get him, insert him between Svech and Necas moving KK to the Bunting line with Turbo or Noesen.

Absolute filth in terms of how deep that roster is. And then you look at the defense

Slavin-Burns
Orlov-Pesce
Skjei-Chatfield

And we are still in on Karlsson? Have to imagine he slots into the top line with Slavin if he comes in possibly looking like

Slavin-Karlsson
Orlov-Burns
Skjei/Chat-Chat/Pesce

With Skjei or Pesce likely being dealt. And if TDA really does come in, then you're probably talking about dealing both Skjei and Pesce to fit him in....


And then on top of all that, we still have the 2021-22 Jennings Trophy winners in net at a cheaper rate than last year.

Why would anyone trade a top power forward (those guys are unicorns) for an impending ufa Turbo coming off a terrible season, an impending ufa in Skjei and a middling prospect who probably has more value to us than he does around the league?

Waddell is doing a great job this off-season but he’s not a magician.

 

[surfzone365]

Sorry all, I’m just catching up. How valid is this? Is Vlad a legit shot for us?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Sorry all, I’m just catching up. How valid is this? Is Vlad a legit shot for us?

Shay is a legitimate reporter that's broken deals before, but there's always the possibility that things have changed.

Between this and the Aho deal, I'm worried about things being reported and not coming to fruition

 

[Svechhammer]

Sorry all, I’m just catching up. How valid is this? Is Vlad a legit shot for us?

Shay is one of the main NY market hockey reporters for The Athletic and broke so many signings and trades in the past that it was starting to piss off some of the more traditional reporters. It was either the deadline or FA last year where she was seemingly out ahead on 2 out of every 3 deals.

I would run svech-aho-tarasenko
bunting-KK-Necas

Let's see what Bunting can do. His style could mesh well with KK and Necas. Jarvis IMO should play less difficult minutes so he can play opportunistically. I had him with Noesen and Drury on the 4th but I can see him on your 3rd line as well.

quick add to my last post.

TT better be on the stationary bike already back in Finland. Peddle your ass off my friend because if you don't show to camp in RBA shape, things will not go well. He's playing for his next contract so no reason to think he won't adjust his offseason training habits.

[Lempo]

Re: what Hank said above... there has to be some specific reason why Orlov('s agent) made the initiative in signing with Carolina, already a D powerhouse and as such less likely to pay king's ransom. Tarasenko being Carolina-bound is plausible for such a reason.

 

[Stickpucker]

So wait wait wait wait.

Wait.

If Orlov basically walked up to our GM and said "sign me" right at the same time that his best friend and godfather to his son happened to also hit free agency...

...then that means that at some point in the last couple of months, these dudes sat down and said "let's go play for Carolina together." Right?

Holy shit, dude. These is the motherf***in' times.
