I can't wait to see how much money he turned down

NSH paid him a big contract last year and cut him mid season. Don't put your chips on that as your opening argument.
- JVince11

Yea they were wrong to do that. He's a good/cheap bottom 6 option. I just like what the Canes have done over the last year or so.

You think there were many willing to give more than 42 mil?

Maybe? But I doubt that many were lining up. 6 sounds about right. We overpayed, but at least it isn't like 8 million. He probably had the same offer from someone if anything

I agree
I think we can give him up to 9.2mil per and not have to give up the four 1sts
I believe the compensation would be two 1sts, a 2nd & a 3rd
I'd trade that for Kucherov all day

How much cash we got left, I suck at math

Yes

What do you think would be max? 49 mil?

Taking out the players that will not be in the NHL I'd say around 13-14 mill

What do you think would be max? 49 mil?

He could of got 7+ i'm pretty sure he took a discount to come here

If we could offer him longer term and stay under $7,510 it would be one 1st a second and a third.

Write the paper.
