Pierre LeBrun: “The Orlov signing does not take Carolina out of the Erik Karlsson trade talks. The ‘Canes still have room and interest in Karlsson.”

    Fuck it, just sign all defense. We don’t need forwards anyway!

    Jokes aside I do love that Carolina is known for being the ‘defense’ team

    Signing EK would mean putting Skjei or Orlov on the 3rd line (not sure which side everyone plays on). Would they ship out Skjei if they got EK?

  3. Canes saying fuck it we’re going Aho, Svech and 18 defensemen every game

    The strategy is to troll our opponents into overtime where we will hopefully get lucky all season. Interesting strategy if that’s the case.

    I don’t see this happening. They didn’t sign Orlov to be the 3rd pair defenseman right? Assuming Pesce or Skjei gets traded.

    This is the chaos we need.

    We have so many cheap deals this year and our big signings today gave us over 4M in cap space going into next year.

    Time to weaponize it

  7. Pretty sure any Canes interest in EK ended the moment Orlov signed the deal. I don’t care if the Canes have the cap room to make it happen or asked about EK before because unless they move both Skjei and Pesce, there isn’t room AND there is also zero need for EK.

    One or both of Pesce or Skjei have to be gone. Seems like we are bringing in guys with term and shipping out the guys expiring to get value from them. Not bad business.

    I’m hearing that burns is moving back to the wing again 👀

    Is it possible to play with 3 d men and 2 forwards at all times?

    This is not a good Idea. Burns isn’t as good, when Karlsson is around. Also Karlsson is a BIG personality(I’m an Ottawa fan). I think he would mess with your dressing room. He kinda demands the spotlight, he doesn’t like practicing. I think he would clash Rod the Bod

    Make it happen, front office. Erik, you know you want to.

    EK scored more goals than most of our forwards last year, look it up!! (Shoresy).
