Canes will have $5.5m of cap space (including LTIR salary pool) for trades now. This would be even with Patches back

Wait really? Don't really know how all the LTIR relief stuff works for when someone comes off of it.

"Quoting: Caniac2000
He's being trade protected, why would you play a guy that wants out when you are carrying 7 other D men and can protect him? It makes no sense unless you get plagued by injuries. Come to terms with that, it's a fact. It's asset management.

Nah, I think after an injury like that and long term covid, you let him rest and don't expose him to reinjuring that ankle and lowering his trade value even more.

Interesting, you should look at the game logs from the start of last year when he played with Slavin"


"K let me know when you get assets for your prized possession that is so special we must not play him. I'll be waiting.

Cheers."


My bad caniac2000 I'm ready to admit I was wrong. Bear did have value as long as there was some salary retention and an AHL/NHL tweener attached to him.

So it turns out to be a salary dump for the Canes. Can't complain. I never liked taking back Pederson in the Burns trade. Didn't think they would be able to get rid of him. Nice to move him out in the same play. This frees up some cap. All good.

Lane Pederson is now on a one-way deal. Canes just managed to waive him and bury it in the AHL. Not sure how 'relatively effective' at that level means anything when you're crap at the next level, but yes each to his own. Playoff team. Non playoff team. We're all a little different I guess.
