Canes with the easy pass

Sanheim doesn’t do anything for us

Ya, unfortunately that Sanheim contract is going to end up worse than AMac's was

I'm sure Dallas fans would jump on getting any positive asset for Ryan Suter, but I also have a feeling they'll stubbornly keep him around.

lol that tampa trade is not it dude

Partly freeing up cap for TB and getting young, ready now players in Frost and Zamula who are signed cheap and a probable top 10 pick in 2024. Cirelli is the best player of those 3, but his injuries and offensive output this year is not 6.25mil for 6 yrs.

Sanheim bridges the gap as Slavin, Pesce, Skrej, etc... all hit UFA in a yr or 2 and while Sanheim is on a bad deal (whodathoughtit after a career yr, haha), so is Kotkanemi. KK is playing pretty meh on a good team, while Sanheim is playing poorly on a bad team. but its a 3C for 2LD move, but maybe the late CAR 2nd in 2024 is not put in. CAR has cap space but maybe its a 1 for 1?

COL isn’t trading Newhook and doesn’t have a whole lot of interest in bringing a big contract back.

He just inked his 8 year deal, he won't be traded. However hypothetically speaking, Tampa would want Tippett and lots more. That trade is a very bad return for Tampa

Kotkaniemi is on pace for roughly 20 goals, 40 points, is 23, plays the most valuable position in the sport, is a god defensively... his contract is fair value. A shade under 5 mil? Sanheim's is AWFUL. Kotkaniemi has 27 points in his last 35 games

KK deal isnt bad although everyone thinks it is. he started on a really dry spell with 3 points in the first 20 games. Since then he has had 30 points in 46 games and his defense has been very good throughout. Pass on paying over 6 million on a bad contract LHD when LHD can be easily found in FA.

Nailed it. I'd take this in a heartbeat. But, for some reason... Nill won't give him up.
