Yeah. I'd imagine Coughlan is free. We literally acquired him for future considerations from Vegas, and only because he came with one Max Pacioretty. Coughlan can't play NHL defense but he's a good minor leaguer.

I remember thinking Coghlan would be the best get of the trade and turn out to be a real solid player for Carolina.

Example #137 why I'll never sniff a scouting job :laugh:

Why the heck is this trade taking so long to finalize?
It's Friday after the 4th of July. The GMs, agents, players, and league have a life too and an AHLr for a conditional 7th probably isn't worth disrupting your Friday evening for.

What about them trying to trade 50-60pt winger, who’s asked for a trade, for another 50-60pt winger, who is also rumored to be on the market, puts them in desperation mode?
Because they lost a top 4 D (Pesce) and 2 top 6 forward (Teuvo, Necas)...

They whiffed big time on their plan A after lowballing him for weeks. When they finally met his demands, Guentzel said: "you know what? I'm good".

So Ehlers is the plan D to save the offseason now?

Do you feel that team got better?

Walker and Gostbeihere is not the same as Skjei and Pesce.

But we signed both them for less than Skjei signed for. We knew we was on the road to cap hell this off season. I think we aren't in bad shape at all.

They always were going to lose good players this offseason. Are the worse now when compared to their end of playoff roster? Sure, but I still think they fight for 3rd in the Metro or a wild card spit next season. It's not like the iteration of the roster they had this year got past the 2nd round anyway, they needed change.

Their D will be different, but still quite good on paper. I think a lot of folks forget they added a top 4D last year in Orlov, who will slide back into the top 4 this year after playing 3rd pair minutes this past season. Their forwards are a work in process, but it's 7/5.

Next year was always going to be a transition year, with them integrating some of their youth and eventually bringing over Nikishin.

Carolina was never going to get better on paper. What you saw last season was the deepest, most talented team in franchise history. The aggregate value of that final roster was over $91 mil in 24-25 cap hits before accounting for Necas, Jarvis and Drury.

And that's not accounting for the likes of Noesen, who after a career of sub-$1M AAV contracts (with exception of 2018-19) now leaves the town after three years for a 3x$2.75M contract with slight trade protections.
