Le réseau de la LNH confirme que nous avions un communiqué de presse de Tarasenko prêt à être diffusé avant qu’il ne tombe à l’eau et (encore une fois) l’accord avec EK repose sur le déménagement de Pesce
The Carolina Hurricanes have been very active this offseason, and more moves might be on the way.

It sucks we didn’t get the T deal done but it’s crazy how confident they are reporting that EK is ready to join us.
Don’t think we have ever had a player of this caliber actively want us to trade for them.
Also with this news fuck Adam gold
Would like to see EK come here. I appreciate the fact that there are some players that actually do want to come here. I personally thought Pesce kind of fell off last year and wasn’t his rock solid self. Could be a blip in the road or could be the start of him needing to be moved; the organization obviously sees it too. I’d still like to add a nice sniping scoring winger. I don’t know who that is at this point or how it comes about but we need it. Our defensive unit can be lights out but if the power play still can’t get it done and the scoring isn’t there then we can still lose 1-0 and 2-1 and have a great defense as well. I’m okay with seeing some 5-2 and 7-4 games. I feel like if we can generate some scoring first and foremost the defense and goalies can breathe a little more and not be on edge the whole season as well.
The petty part of me wants to tell Tarasenko to go find somewhere else to play. I don’t know all the details but the fact that it seems like the signing was all but confirmed only to pivot last second is super frustrating.
The level-headed part of me says we absolutely need him.
Also super encouraging that Karlsson seems like he really wants to be here
Something Friedman said on 32 Thoughts was that Dubas is going hard and EK coming to them is a matter of how badly Dubas wants to happen.
If that leak is true (big if), and they’re asking for two 1sts, I am guessing Dubas is more eager to leverage that sort of thing than DW. And fwiw, I don’t know that I’d be comfortable giving two 1sts for a 33 year old on a risky contract. I would love to have him but if we didn’t mortgage the future for Meier at the deadline when we really needed him, I don’t think we will in the offseason for someone who, let’s be real, isn’t someone we *need*, we have a good defensive core already.
Sounds like TDA still happening from this. But dang, wtf happened with Tarasenko, I’m just perplexed.
Shows that reporting wasn’t as “speculative” as some local hosts claimed it was.
Don’t we always have press releases setup on players that are close? I remember Michael Smith telling a story about having an incredible PR setup for a player that fell through and never got leaked out.
Anything happened with Stepan or stasny yet?
So, if we trade pesce and ek is still there it’s pretty much a lock?
As long as we don’t pair EK with Burns again, lfg!!
Tarasenko doesn’t want to be here he wanted to stay in New York. So let’s focus on players that really wants to play for us.
