Another outlet reporting Necas trade was solidified with CAR, but Necas nixed it. They don't expressly say it was the player but can read between the lines as CAR was ready to go.

"Despite a new deal, that doesn’t mean the Hurricanes won’t revisit trade negotiations. The Hurricanes reportedly had a deal on the table with the Buffalo Sabres, but that was shot down."

No player has ever held out.

So how does this work? Lake Erie grows salty and THEN we get Sharknados? Or do the sharks just show up?

Okay “recent” hold out

Jeff Skinner is an out of control Lancia Delta S4 ripping the e brake through a hairpin without headlights and Laine is a Peugeot 205 with a slightly drunk co driver and bad brakes. Either could win but I'm putting my money on the Lancia.

I just cannot believe Skinner’s Defense is 1

I almost missed this, too

In North Carolina they call all soda "coke" and ask for "an orange coke" when they want an orange soda. On top of that, my uncle told me when he first moved there he asked for a "pop" at a restaurant and the guy gave him the strangest look and came back 15 minutes later with a tootsie roll pop

Still some smoke with Philadelphia and Farabee. Wouldn't surprise me if a Deal happens just before Camp.

Others are starting to realize Miedema is being slept on:

The end is near, isn't it?

Farabee, Laine and Ehlers all still smoldering. Methinks Adams may see the writing on the wall. Get ready, the package he gives for any of them is likely to sting.

Agreed, this world has grown tiresome anyways.

Yeah, horrible comparison, as the article indicates. 5'10 speedy winger to a 6'4 power forward. These things are not the same.

Liane acquisition cost should be deflated given his Contract / Production value over the past 2 years, specifically the number of games he has missed, and now his apparent mental issues.

I'd throw Greenway their way... And would want $2m retained.

Laine SHOULDN'T cost that much, completely agree. But he's still 26yo, is a year removed from 52pts in 55games and is a PP guru...so I have a sneaking suspicion someone will pony up more than that. But you make a good suggestion with $2M in retention. Apparently a deal was in place for him but required 50%, which CLB baulked at, so you may have something there.

Are you compiling these all into some massive scrap book? I feel as though that would be pretty humorous a few years from now to scroll through. Just a thought.

Touchè

But if they spend assets to acquire Laine it would make me wonder why they bothered to buyout skinner at all. Idk, I just don't see it happening
- Hank Balling

Agreed, they are set. Adams with all that talk for nothing is again relying on a bunch of ifs and praying rookies and 2nd year players will fill the scoring void. Krebs sucks and Greenway still being in the middle 6 is pathetic

I imagine he will be fired by the trade deadline if there are real expectations this season

I'm predicting he makes it through Ruff's 2 year contract, then he is fired while Ruff takes over the GM responsibilities and Appert steps in as HC.

Bank on a couple Top 5 picks along the way

No, in a few years when they still have yet to make the playoffs, my meme game will be so elite, we will all forget the low quality of these gems.

Not looking forward to that lol but at least one of us is learning a useful skill around here. I'm still trying to figure out Puckpedia.
