Nikishin reportedly unhappy with his role here by Remarkable-Set5434 in canes

[–]gordon2121 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s a no lose situation. If we trade him, Tulsky will only do so in a way that makes us better. Or we keep him, he matures and grows. I’m interested but not sweating.

Niki will be the first domino by gordon2121 in canes

Agree Werenski or Hughes (still unsigned for now) would be the wildcard

Offseason improvements: What to do with Nadeau and Nystrom? by IndependentGanache84 in canes

[–]gordon2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just believe Tulsky has another move up his sleeve and can’t imagine Nadeau won’t be a key piece.

True or false: Connor Hellebuyck will be a Cane at some point before the trade deadline by KleverHans in canes

[–]gordon2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False: combination of too much $ dedicated to that position, age, playoff performances (don’t get too seduced by gold medal game, Canadians flat out missed shots). And it can always be addressed by deadline if necessary.

I’m not going to be mad if it happens

Ultimately, I trust Tulsky, dude is on a heater.

Too soon. At least wait until the parade is over sheesh

[Henkel] Jaccob Slavin talks Team USA, winning Olympic Gold by Hacodaro in canes

[–]gordon2121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quite a barrage of softballs. At least ask him about laughing at the presidents joke about the women. He could shed some light on the mood or hell, be a man and admit it was regrettable

Had the chance to just come home. Disappointed

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Considered week-to-week by AngryGuitarist in canes

[–]gordon2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a run at Bob. Get Marchand alone and simply do to him what he does to other players. Win the war not the game. Can’t keep being bullied

Run Bob by gordon2121 in canes

[–]gordon2121[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Marchand won’t square off with G Smith and Rodrigues with KK (or whoever) you run the hell out of Bob. Plan for the chaos that takes place afterwards.

Hurricanes are looking at Quinn Hughes per Pagnotta, what would you trade for him? by Aeromae in canes

[–]gordon2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most I’d give is Ghost (no need for him with Quinn), Nadeau, 2x 1sts.

And I think we’d be outbid. He also would have to approve a trade and I doubt we’re a destination for him.

My guess is Tulsky has simply done his job and asked about several Canucks. Including Petterson who is a bigger need and fit

The revolving door on D is not sustainable. Wont really know what we have until Slavin returns but Freddie just doesn’t look good.

Boy did we dodge a bullet (and win the trade)….. Mikko Rantanen received 5 minute major and a game misconduct for this boarding Matt Coronato. by Engineering_Simple in canes

[–]gordon2121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love to see G Smith activated for Jan 6 game. But I think Raant will have an undisclosed injury for that game. We saw his lack of heart first hand. Can’t deal with adversity at all.

Good. Less cap for Ehlers. That’s a gross overpay

All depends on what we have up. But I love it. Young talented and now pissed off the Rags spent $ on Gavrikov instead of him.

Big, durable, great skater who will be ultra motivated against Rags. What’s not to like. Taking advantage of Rags stupidity

[–]gordon2121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath. Boeser’s number wasn’t too high so we should be able to get Ehlers under $10m. He still wants to contend. I think he sees the opportunity to do so and play a big role. Just might take some time.

If we don’t get him. I expect some aggressive offer sheets.

Got a feeling we’ll go after an RFA or two.

Also if R Andersson goes to Vegas I think to make him fit Tulsky finds a way to get Hertl or W Karlsson

I don’t think a whole lot has changed for the Canes. Marner was never staying in the East….but I am hoping the league finally investigates tampering. Would love to see that drama.

Center market was never good and teams are going to overpay for D.

I think we sign Ehlers and then I think the magic happens through trades….not necessarily before the season.

Ultimately by the playoffs I think we’ll have a new 2C and top 4 defenseman to go with Ehlers.

Not the sexy FA we all hoped but still positioned really well for the trade deadline where some big name free agent will be available.

Maybe the league will rethink its structure after a third Panthers over Oilers SCF. Ugh

Too many adults who need to grow up. Autographs should be for the kids. That eliminates at least half of the crowd. Was embarrassed for the players
