The panarin deal is absurd...ot makes Duchene almost look good by comparison.

think a lot of value for a guy to get the bulk of his money up front.

That's a pretty slick move by Bergevin...only a 1 2 3 for Aho would be a steal...and front loaded the hhit out of it...Canes may pay very dearly for taking on all those bad contracts and buyouts. Stan still fiddling while Chicago burns. Slick move? I think they did Carolina a favor....

It's about the up front money THIS year, I believe.
Canes are pinched with the Marleau buyout, etc.

Hawks havent done anything major...but have so far resisted the urge to throw stupid UFA money around. They have addressed, albeit in a small way, the 2 areas where they were completely deficient last season...D and PK. There is a narrative the hawks are floating that they would have made the playoffs last year had they not been dead last on the pk. I do not believe it is quite that simple, but the concept has some merit. The team is built to get crushed in the pist-season, but all they care about is getting in and having the idiot fanbase believe 'anything is possible'.
Maata and DeHaan certainly can help reduce goals and chances against, and both if them plus carpenter have to be a boost to the PK.
Thing is, this team cant play at wide open with as little structure in it's own end as it did last year...and as a result, they will have to curtail offensive chances for in order to be better in the neutral and defensive zones...so they will score less in order to give up less goals against.
I dont see who they can pass in the division for a playoff spot, buit maybe they are good enough to be a WC?

Team as of this minute imo is exactly the same. Still not a threat to do anything. Still have all the dead wood.

Canes are pinched with the Marleau buyout, etc. I mean, I get it, but after their billionaire owner gets over having to shell out the up front cash, it is a great cap hit. Hawks have done pretty well this offseason, so far. They will be harder to play against with Carpenter and Shaw. Their defense should be improved with Maata and DeHaan. PK should improve drastically. The central is going to be tough, no doubt. I'm not sure the Hawks are done yet.

think a lot of value for a guy to get the bulk of his money up front. To a degree, but we are talking about a 5 year term which limits the time value of money to a large degree. We are not talking about a Shea Weber 14 year offersheet where he got 3/4ers of the money in the first 5 years.
