Scott Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Stu Grimson on the NHL network a short time ago said he's hearing CAR is still short on the return going to the Pens and the Bunting scratch may very well be related to plan B or a different deal Carolina may have their eye on. So who the F knows. But it smells bad to me to @RichieNextel305 That hole is bigger than Nina Hartley's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read the reports of us not really having interest in Buchnevich. But with this happening, our top 2 competitors in the East have gotten a lot better the last 2 days. Them or the Devils. Buchnevich or Toffoli should be top of the list here. Either that, or go wildcard. Whatever you were comfortable giving up for Guentzel, maybe you're comfortable giving up for a player of similar caliber that we hadn't thought of yet or wasn't readily available without this bigger offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So… I’m gonna have to ask that you be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Wait. Guentzel has been on IR and isn't due back from his "upper body" injury (concussion). Good let him go to Carolina. Hope he has pudding head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Kaplan says it's a done deal, should be announced after the game tonight or early in the morning. *Guentzel has been going hard for a bit now I believe he's due back at any time. They made a habit of showing him on the ice several times today. I think they've been holding him out knowing he was outta there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 30 minutes ago, LindG1000 said: Carolina sending Bunting the other way basically ends that thought. Bunting makes 4.5. Guentzel is at 6. Carolina has about 1 mill in cap space. That's a tight squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Toffoli would be nice. But he’s slow. And as much as we just went through with Pittsburgh just now, I doubt another rival, especially one as huge as Jersey, is trading us an asset.

RichieNextel305 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 (edited) It’s Buch or Bust here IMO. Vatrano, I feel, would have been done by now if it were to happen. With us swinging and missing on Guentzel, I doubt Anaheim doesn’t bend us over even further. Plus, I’m now reading that instead of dealing him, they may have interest in an extension eventually too. This isn’t good. I’m fine with us not acquiring the pieces rumored out there. But for Florida to get better and now Carolina to get better (a lot better IMO), I’m beginning to really be afraid of our chances here.

I think that was another ~4M Didn't see that. Wouldn't they have to get claimed for that to help? They're all on 1 way deals. I may be mistaken, but you can't hide cap hits in the minors. ADA would be a nice add. I think everyone can agree on that. Deal Miller for Zegras. Back fill with Tony D. Edited March 8 by The Dude 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mistaken, but you can't hide cap hits in the minors. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39676844/hurricanes-activate-frederik-andersen-injured-reserve Quote Earlier in the day, Raanta was placed on waivers. In total, the Canes placed three players on waivers with Raanta joining defenseman Tony DeAngelo and forward Brendan Lemieux. Placing all three of them on waivers allowed the Canes to clear additional cap space ahead of the noon PT/ 3 p.m. trade deadline Friday. CapFriendly projects that the Hurricanes will have a little more than $5.8 million in deadline cap space. A one way deal just means the player gets paid his NHL salary even if he's sent down. Unlike a two-way where a player that gets sent down gets paid significantly less. Edited March 8 by Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
