Sujet: Would EK69 still even make sense
Not at this Deal. They won't send Pesce to SJ, he'll go somewhere else.

Necas most likely stays.

They'd deal Teravainen somewhere most likely to also free up space.

Which at that point they can probably send picks and prospects for EK.

I don't follow the canes much, but I guess to me it hinges on Pesce. If they decide to keep him they're 100% out on EK then.

Canes will have a lot of heavy FAs next season if they keep Pesce. Personally if i'm them i'd figure out how to keep Pesce.. If you can work on sitting down Pesce, Skjei, Drury, Jarvis, Aho, Teravainen and say "hey, we have a real chance here with this core, are guys willing to knock a $1M off their AAV to keep everyone together?"

That core is so good, feel like it could compete the next 3-5 years without question.

Sujet: Nikishin Morrow and Blake
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>Morrow and Nikishin are the real deal.

I’m not gonna cap, I consider myself to be a massive hockey fan and super into prospects (I made a top 225 prospects in the NHL list a few weeks ago) and I’ve somehow never heard of Jackson Blake. His stats look pretty good for a young 2021 draftee. He’s literally like barely a year older than fantilli (legit 14 months) and is on similar pace with him on a worse team. Obviously not saying he’s as good as Fantilli and I wanna watch his film too but he needs to be talked about more. Kinda ridiculous how Carolina just always finds gems out of every puck.</div></div>

1. I'd love to see that top-225 list if it is on here.

2. Blake is legit. He is has been on my recent top prospect lists (<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3812599">mid 2022-23 season</a>, <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3530363">2022 offseason</a>, <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2976967">mid 2021-22 season</a>). Has gone from #30 to #18 most recently. He had a bit of unusual HS experience, where he wasn't only allowed play one year (between that, COVID, and split season schedule....I think he only had 20-something games). Was underexposed at his draft...was very young for his class. He is Jayson Blake's son...is a phenomenal offensive talent. A guy worth knowing.

Sujet: Realistic but Pessimistic Hurricanes Karlsson Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>What's the max cap hit threshold you think Canes/Pens would accept EK65 at? 7? Lower?</div></div>

Provided that the Pens are able to move both Petry and Granlund, I think the Pens would be willing to take EK at about 8mil. The Canes on the other hand, more than likely would need to get EK down to 5-6mil for them to pull the trigger, due to his age and injury history.

As for the 2 dark horses, Seattle probably follows suit with what I said for the Canes. Francis isn’t the type of GM who typically goes for the flashy blockbusters, but rather through UFA. He also has to consider Beniers and Wright extensions, so cap space will be crucial. And Toronto straight up can’t afford EK without moving one of the big core names.

Frankly, I am positive it’s really only Pittsburgh and Carolina who are really in the running. Assuming EK is moved, the Sharks will either have to deal with the Pens cap dumps (at the very least, one of, if not both of, Granlund and Petry) and not get great compensation for that, or take a “weaker“ offer from the Canes with a big piece of the package being one of Skjei, Pesce, or Turbo being flipped for more assets, or as a 3-way scenario. I think there is extra pressure for the Sharks to move him before the season starts, since it is almost certain that they aren’t getting another chance to move EK sans buyout/cap dump for the remainder of his contract.
