    Whoa, we may actually be going full send this trade deadline 😮

  2. iOceanLab

    Clears up $3.05M in cap space.

    Raanta: $1.125M (max)

    DeAngelo: $1.125M (max)

    Lemieux $0.8M

    EDIT: We could get full relief for Raanta or TDA if they are claimed, but we won’t know until 2pm tomorrow.

    Ah man I hope 1 of them comes back for Tuesday for Rempe’s nonsense

    CaniacJoker, Eric Tulsky’s Brain, Hurricanes Hot Takes, Conferatecaniac (or whatever his name is), et al. will surely react calmly and rationally to this news.

    Well there goes all the toughness we wanted this season.

    Guentzel’s cap hit is $6m, slightly more than we had available before waivers clear…even if we don’t get him, this gives us a lot of flexibility to go and get guys without having to give up extra in return for retained salary. I’m guessing at the very least another depth defenseman and maybe another depth forward – definitely depth Ds out there better than TDA.

    What if we’re getting both Geuntzel and Buchnevich? Geuntzel comes in just with picks/prospects. But someone has to go out to get Buch I assume. Necas? Would be bittersweet but I could live with it. As long as it’s not Seth.

    Man I would be so happy to get rid of TDA it would be unreal. Especially if we end up getting a forward out of all this (Guentzel)

    The most bought out man in hockey gets waived. I do hope we can pick up a more defensive option if possible.

    Sad about Raanta tho 🙁

  9. Far-Two8659

    So we have $8.75mm in cap space now.

    Guentzel at 25% retained is $4.5mm.

    Buchnevic at 25% retained is $4.35mm.

    So, hypothetically, if you send any player out or any starter down, we could afford both.

    Just sayin.

    Mixed feelings about DeAngelo but man I hope Lemieux clears. Guy always brings it and would be a good option to have

    Making space for Buchnevich.  Maybe that’s why there has been no noise around him.

  12. Could easily see TDA and Lemieux getting claimed, not sure about Raanta.

  13. SnowCrabbo

    My F5 button is pleading for the end of the deadline

  14. I am just so incredibly hyped and nervous at the same time. Can’t stop refreshing every potential trade news source every few minutes.

  15. ReeseWithAKnife

    idk. seems like Dubas asking price is so high (nikishin+ apparently) i dont see us doing that. im wholly expecting us to get some super underwhelming player and “we like our group” just like the last 5 years

  16. Guys… I’m getting too hype. Please tell me to stop getting so hype.

  17. bearwhidrive

    They’re at least trying. Doesn’t mean it’s all going to come together, but they don’t do this if they’re NOT trying to land some scoring help.

    Also, if anyone wanted to grab TDA so he’s their problem instead of ours, I’ll be happy for them to.

  18. tralist_

    Waive KK that’s 4.8 mill wasted right there

  19. alexgriz127

    Don’s had enough of our bitching and no longer likes our group. /s
