Offseason

Or, don't overpay Skjei and keep the promising 23 year old center instead of gifting him and a 1st away?

Or you resign the guy who's third among defensemen at 5v5 goals and 5th overall over the last couple of seasons and trade away the guy who's contract is quickly becoming an anchor. And the contract estimates are all on the high side for a reason

Necas will cost more in term and AAV. Jarvis wont be a 1 years deal; likely 2 or 6-8 years.

Martinook isn't taking 1M. Would likely be a similar 1.8x2 year deal.

Noesen should look for the biggest deal he can get, it won't be from the Canes.

Skjei will get more in term & AAV, he's likely gone.

That's too high a price to cut ties with KK. Can get it done for less.

I'm genuinely curious on what you think the Canes should do with KK.

Once they acquired Kuzey there isn't a spot for him. If you want to extend your window now, you can't keep him on the 4th line at that price. Sure in 2 years they may have a use for him, but you can't waste that cap space now.

I think you can rework the AAV on some of these contracts to get them to fit but these were just my guesses.
6-6.5 Seems about like what Necas is getting... Tippet is good comp and he got $6.2
Noesen seems like he wants to stay in Raleigh and there is a history of people resigning for a lot less than what they could have gotten on the market with the Hurricanes... just look at Aho
Skjei is probably about $.5 to $1m off and about 2 or 3 years off
You can replace Martinook with somebody for the $1m cap hit that does the defensive shutdown job
