Realistic scenario is:

7OA + Hutton + Baertschi (Granlund?)

for

Hanifin + Williams


Big time salary dumps for Carolina.......

Cuz 4.5 mil for a 50 point guy is too much ?

We don't need Gallant. We've got the best coaching staff ever. 🤺💯

Way too much. Those guys should only make league minimum.

The only way Hanifin is part of any salary dump is if they don't even want to give Darling a shot under a new coach after replacing the old coach who had a system that could never find a save but it was always the goalies fault.

Last time I checked, it was a new owner trying to turn the page. Doesn't matter that he scored 50 pts, he's not a part of the plans. I'm not too sure that there are many teams lined up for a guy who turns 37 opening night and is likely due to regress.

See Vanek, Thomas......guy scored 48 pts the season before last, 3 years younger and the canucks signed him at a bargain basement price.

I'm not saying a salary dump as in Louie Eriksson proportions but its widely known that the owner is looking to shake things up. Williams would seem like an obvious candidate....

It’s not like the canes are some aging team that needs to rebuild ...they are already young and basically just need a goalie to make a save and they are a playoff team

Williams has one year left ...so let him play it and then you can walk away ....and it’s not like Williams has been on a slow decline ...he’s been a 40-50 point guy consistently for the past 5/6 years ...he’s still very useful

Letestu or Filppula for 2 years would be my choice

I agree with pretty much all of that except that he is taking a spot away from say Svechnikov or if he can replaced for cheaper and younger ie Baertschi then its a possibility.

Like anyone, I'm just throwing poop at a wall and hoping it sticks. I understand why JB would target him but I, personally, struggle with the idea that these 2 teams have the adequate assets to help one another...

That’s fair ...I can see your thought process ...I just think Williams isn’t really that much of a cap concern

The thing with Williams is he can play up and down the lineup and if anyone is hurt he can fill that role too ...good guy to have on a young team

I don’t think baertchi over Williams makes them better either ...just getting younger for the sake of getting younger

How would Williams on a 1 yr deal take anyone's spot away? They've got like 4 top6 wingers. If the dude is good, you play him. Playing good players is how good teams be good. If he is bad, you slide him down the lineup.

He played for my fav team. If Redmile said a Flames player sucks, I’d 100% believe him.

you mean a poop player with a poop contract is more of a cap dump than a useful player on a fair deal that expires in 12 months?

my old roommate is a Canes fan.

me: Why
him: because I'm from Swift Current
me: I don't follow
him: Saskatchewan
me: yes?
Him: Riders. Green.
me: I'm really not following.
him: I like the colour green because of the Riders. The Canes used to be Hartford and had the green sweater. So I liked them for that and decided to stick with them.
me: why didn't you just explain that?
