You expect Gardiners hip surgery to be career ending? if not, hes probably returning next season.
You also only have a 20/23 roster here, 1-2 injurys/COVID cases which arent LTIR means you pretty much cant afford to call up more than one guy

Im hoping for someone a little less suspension-y as ore LW addition. Also I don’t see a team going longer than 2 years with Kane. Its more than likely a 1 year deal to see if any other bad news pops up.

I don’t see the Canes touching that Tro contract.

No team should sign Kane for longer than one season he’s proved time and time again he is a terrible teammate he’s on his best behaviour in Edmonton this year because he knows he’s on thin ice.

Canes are not going to deal with Kane whatsoever. Remember, Waddell drafted Kane in Atlanta, and he won’t make that mistake by bringing him to Carolina. They can just use that money to bring back Nino, who has and will be a much better fit than Kane.

Trocheck probably tries FA at the end of the season. DeAngelo is not getting that much on his contract. He knows he has to work to earn that money, and while it has for now, looking at his checkered past, he still runs the risk of being a flight risk. Not sure if Bear ends up staying in the off-season, considering there will be a lot of interest. Gardiner very likely isn’t returning at all and is as good as LTIRetired.
