Fingers crossed he stays. Don’t blame him whatsoever for testing the market—in fact he’d be a fool not to—but he’s a perfect Hurricane.

Waiting for the people from 2 days ago making insane comments contradicting themselves and saying “Guentzel’s gone and there’s no hope left wahh wahh wahh” to come through and flip the script and act like they were on this side all along.

Man what a rollercoaster this offseason has already become, and we’re only like 2-3 weeks in😂

Fingers crossed on this one. I understand if he wants to test the market, but he’s a great fit here. Rounds out our top line and leaves us with a lot fewer questions going forward

I don’t blame him for testing the market and I’m not surprised. But I’m pretty confident that our offer will be $1-2m less than what he will find.

I love hearing Friedman validate the Canes approach to the situation.
I don’t think most fans understand just how strict the NHL cap is. You can’t be negotiating against yourself and inflating salaries. Have your number and allow the player to see if there’s better number and situation out there for them.

Door isn’t completely shut because pieces have to be moved and other teams won’t make moves until FA begins. I think we trade Freddy, KK and Necas possibly even Kuzy. A lot of parts need to be moved before they sign anyone and tie up that equity.

I can’t blame him at all. He’d be stupid not to see what other offers are out there.

I’ve got a gut feeling he stays

I do hope we get to keep him.
