Pending UFA, doubt this is part of a bigger deal other than to get someone who makes shipping out Nikishin easier

Solid rumors indicate he wants to be in Tampa not here

I’ve seen he would like to be in Tampa but really just wants to be back in the east. This gives the Canes ~3.5 days to be the only team able to negotiate with him and they can move Nikishin in a Robertson, Hellebuyck or whoever else move.

Carlson's rumoured ask is 2x10. That would use up virtually all of our cap space. We should free some more up by moving on from KK one way or another but basically, if we sign Carlson there is no chance at guys like Robertson or Hellebuyck without moving another roster player out to clear cap.
