Sujet: Celebrini to Utah with the help of Bettman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Population of Metro Salt Lake City...1.2m. Population of Utah 3.3m. Population of Metro Phoenix 4.9m. I just wonder if Salt Lake has the population that will support an NHL team with 14,000 people paying NHL prices for tickets. Plus Salt Lake doesn't attract snow birds that currently buy tickets in Arizona. Thinking after the initial excitement, Salt Lake City will just be another Phoenix,,,,but they do have a nice arena.</div></div>

Well with 4600 seats at the Mullet, there aren't many snowbirds buying tiks there either. Utah might benefit from winter sports enthusiasts (skiers, boarders, etc) buying tiks. But yeah, with an NBA team already there, makes you wonder if there are enough sports dollars to go around. Larry Miller will have his hands full 4 sure

Sujet: Carolina Hurricanes signed Jackson Blake (3 Years / $925,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>And just like that, the Canes get ANOTHER top prospect under contract. In Blake's DY, he was playing High School hockey before he ended the season with the Chicago Steel, which is just a huge testament to the talent on the Canes scouting staff. Blake is a LEGIT prospect, getting him in the 4th round and now securing him with a contract was huge for Carolina. Their future is genuinely incredible, what a fantastic move.

Interesting that this isnt a future ELC. Not convinced he's going to be a guy the Canes lean on in the playoffs, maybe he gets a few games down the stretch just for the sake of getting him playing. Regardless, this is a great signing</div></div>

Not only that…he was barred from playing varsity hockey in Minnesota in his Sophomore year until end of January since he changed High Schools very late in the process (when he didn’t make NTDP, he returned home from Shattuck). And he didn’t play senior year…so it was just his junior season (and half of sophomore season).

Sujet: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>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 that cap hit that does the defensive shutdown job</div></div>

For sure, I didn't think anything you had was crazy, just my slight tweaks. I think Necas will want Bratt type $

I don't disagree that there are players who would take a discount to play with this roster/city, but you can't really compare Aho/Noesen. Aho was already set for life and was getting 'FU' money from anyone. Noesen's never been paid, won't get much term and it could be the last chance he has to cash in.

The KK question was for Caniac2000.... I fully agree with your take that he's likely gone.
