<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Marner could improve on a new team, but he's not a goal scorer and for a team that's struggled to score trading one of the few guys who can put the puck into the net wouldn't be smart. They are also better served signing Guentzel (if they can) who has been a great fit and has a track record of scoring in the post-season. If they can add Marner after that then sure, but if they are dealing a core player to do so it should not be Aho (it won't be), Jarvis, or Svechnikov.


Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis
Svechnikov - X - Marner</div></div>

Yea I’m not completely opposed to like trading Necas for him or something, but I would worry about the cap room. Doubt we can sign Guentzel for 8-9 and turn around and pay Marner close to 11 easily. Feel like it’s more of a choice between one or the other, and I think Guentzel is better fits our needs.

Thread: Canes Offer Sheet Impact
KK is probably gone in favor of a cheaper option. Probably just moving Drury in his place. That’ll give us some flexibility to add a defenseman, or maybe just re-signing Chatfield as well as picking up a bottom sixer or 2. Tight squeeze but definitely doable.

As for next offseason, Orlov’s walking as Nikishin can probably take that 2nd pair role after next year. Slavin obviously gets a big pay raise but Orlov being off the books helps with that. it wouldn’t shock me if Andersen retired, especially if we go all the way this year or next so we’ll have to get another goalie. Hopefully just a decently cheap backup/1B as we have Kochetkov. Kind of hot and cold this year but he proved that he can put up respectable numbers while playing half the season at 24 so hopefully he’ll continue to develop.
