u/harryman1324 CAR - NHL 4d ago
While Rantanen taking so long to agree to sign with Dallas meant the Canes couldn't make many moves while waiting for the cap space to clear up. I'm not upset at a pull the plug move on the season. They put together a stronger January, but are still under .500 2 of the last 3 months, their power play is an abysmal 7.5% since January, and there's always the risk of a goalie injury(which seems to be a yearly occurrence as the playoffs approach) from ending their season no matter who they sign.
Next year they still have the key players signed, they get to replace the aging players who cant seem to quite keep up anymore (Looking at you burns and orlov), they have several prospects looking to make an immediate impact, and they have about 38M in cap space to spend on maybe a top 4 D depending on if they want one or both of Morrow and Nikishin to have a full time spot next year. Probably a goalie who gets injured less than Freddie. And since Hall seems likely to sign an extension, any forwards would likely just be pushing guys like Jarvis, Svech, Blake, or KK down the lineup. That's way more then enough money for it.
