Sur le fond, Guentzel ne nous exclut pas encore, mais il souhaite d’abord tester le marché. On dirait que nous avons déjà fait une offre.

I’ve got a gut feeling he stays
Fingers crossed he stays. Don’t blame him whatsoever for testing the market—in fact he’d be a fool not to—but he’s a perfect Hurricane.
Waiting for the people from 2 days ago making insane comments contradicting themselves and saying “Guentzel’s gone and there’s no hope left wahh wahh wahh” to come through and flip the script and act like they were on this side all along.
Man what a rollercoaster this offseason has already become, and we’re only like 2-3 weeks in😂
Fingers crossed on this one. I understand if he wants to test the market, but he’s a great fit here. Rounds out our top line and leaves us with a lot fewer questions going forward
I don’t blame him for testing the market and I’m not surprised. But I’m pretty confident that our offer will be $1-2m less than what he will find.
I love hearing Friedman validate the Canes approach to the situation.
I don’t think most fans understand just how strict the NHL cap is. You can’t be negotiating against yourself and inflating salaries. Have your number and allow the player to see if there’s better number and situation out there for them.
Door isn’t completely shut because pieces have to be moved and other teams won’t make moves until FA begins. I think we trade Freddy, KK and Necas possibly even Kuzy. A lot of parts need to be moved before they sign anyone and tie up that equity.
I can’t blame him at all. He’d be stupid not to see what other offers are out there.
I do hope we get to keep him.
Guentzel is obviously a stand up dude. If he stays great, if not, I’m glad he came here even if it was for a short amount of time.
He’d be a moron to not test the market. This will be his last big boy contract in the league. Hope he picks the Canes, but dude has a Cup already – will probably do what’s best for him and his family and don’t blame him at all for it.
Keep going, I’m almost there.
Question: If he hits free agency, are we still able to offer an eighth year or are we limited to seven just like everyone else at that point? That extra year could help save a little cap and is an advantage we’d have but if we don’t have that trump card then I don’t see how we can beat a desperate offer from another team.
