4 YEARSSS?? AAV is sorta niceish if under 3</div></div>

This means it's not a 35+ contract which makes it so that if he retires in the middle of the contract, Carolina isn't on the hook for the rest of the cap hit. I think this is a better way to handle this situation than doing this every offseason with one-year deals.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>I think Seb Aho did kind of the same thing when Tkachuk scored the game winner in game 4, Tkachuk was driving to the net and Aho went towards the goal post instead of Tkachuk for some reason, I spent a good while trying to figure out what Aho was doing</div></div>

My best guess for Aho at the end of G4 is that he knew Reinhart was backdoor, and hard committing to Tkachuk would have allowed an easy backdoor pass to Reinhart. Aho, assuming that Freddie had full ability to push to the side, moved towards the back post to prevent Tkachuk from getting all the way across, but also made sure he stayed in the way of any cross-crease attempts, and kinda got himself caught in no-mans land. Hindsight proves that to be a wrong decision, but I can at least see what Aho was going for.

Suter's looks really weird because it's off a rush, and 2v1 defenders usually don't just abandon the middle of the ice in such a scenario.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I wonder whats Carolina's plan now

Injuries reared their ugly head and took out some key guys

That said I do feel they were to conservative at the TDL. Should have got a big more aggressive.</div></div>

No, they were right to hold tight with everyone else going all-in. This core's window has only one more season, so I think they play next year more aggressive. Also, they pretty much have to wait until the deadline to get Andrei Svechnikov back from his torn ACL.

The big thing this offseason is the goaltending situation. Andersen and Raanta are both 34 at the start of next season and neither have contracts with Carolina, and Kochetkov, despite his maturity issues, is too good to keep in the AHL next season.

They nominally have a lot of cap to play with this offseason, but I expect mostly one-year veteran contracts, as they figure out who their true core is going into the 2024-25 season.

The most important part of their future plan should be to promote Tulsky to a position that other teams don't try to poach, possibly kicking Waddell to POHO to promote him to GM.

The Hurricanes all series were missing a game-changing power forward, one that is able to stand up to the semi-legal and illegal physicality of the playoffs, has a scoring touch, speed, skill, and a great shot. A big scoring specialist who could pick corners against Bobrovsky and help the powerplay would also have been nice, and I want to believe that Slavin defends the third Florida goal better than Ghost.

Even with all of that, they lost four incredibly close and exhilarating games that were decided by luck (including officiating, which I mostly consider luck) and Bobrovsky having possibly the best playoff series of a goaltender since... a long time ago.

It hurts right now, but this is further than I expected this Canes team to make it this year, and they didn't throw away a pile of futures chasing the 2023 Cup like the Rangers, Bruins, and Leafs did. They'll be back next year, and they might have to go all-in because of their contract situations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangsey</b></div><div>If you're relying on getting a call in the final minutes to tie a game you haven't played well enough to win imo.</div></div>

By that logic, if you rely on a call in the second period to win a game as the Panthers did tonight, you haven't played well enough to win, either, but sometimes that's just what happens. The officials are part of the game, and sometimes they help you win, and sometimes they don't, as whatever happens, the team has to deal with it.

I'm not confident enough in their 6v4 to say that they would have extended the game, but I still think that the officiating worked in Florida's favour tonight. It's not malice, it's not rigged, it's just unlucky

Not sure if I should be comforted by Carolina controlling play and getting most of the scoring chances, which may give them a better chance in the rest of the series, or saddened by the fact that they've had the majority of the scoring chances and puck possession and still lost both games, and Florida's skaters are likely to play better later this series
