Seravalli also mentioned Nick Schmaltz is being shopped by Zona and that the Canes may be interested, he also mentioned that the Canes are still interested in Kane.

I’m guessing Seravalli means a very competitive offer.

Dundon did an interview with Seravalli today and he stated that we are going to be aggressive. Seravalli stated later after the interview was over that the Canes have a very good offer in for Meier. Very good scares me a bit… did we offer a first rounder, Morrow, and Drury…

I’d be dead in an hour.

So uhhh… Brandon Miller’s stock is dropping.

Best case is Carolina lands Timo, second best case is St. Louis lands him.

Link: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/mls-announces-new-playoff-format-for-2023-season Looks like it’s slowly becoming the NBA playoffs… - Nine teams from each conference - Eight and nine are wild cards and play a one game elimination - First round after the wild card is best of three with no ties.

Canes being linked to JG Pageau and Ivan Barbashev. Not exactly sure where Pageau fits because in reality he’s another 3C but Barbashev would be nice. If the Canes could land Barbashev and and Meier I’d be ecstatic. You could end up with… Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Pageau - Necas Barbashev - Staal - Fast Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Noesen Stepan - Stastny OR Svechnikov - Aho - Meier Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Barbashev - Staal - Fast Martinook - Stastny - Jarvis Noesen - Stepan With both Kase and Pacioretty on IR, the Canes can add two pieces without shipping anyone out, a third piece would require someone to be moved. I suspect if a third piece is added then it would be a depth defenseman and Coghlan would either be traded or waived with the intent of assigning him to Chicago.

Lololol this might be your best work yet.

During Dundon’s radio show, he stated that the Canes anticipate bringing Patches back next year. I imagine they’ll sign him to some 1 year / $2.5M deal that has bonuses if certain performance metrics are met.

From Dundon’s radio interview today, the Canes are trying to make a move but in his words there isn’t a whole lot out there that makes us better. With that said, if we don’t land Meier, I wouldn’t be shocked to see us bring in depth winger and a third pairing left handed defenseman and then call it a day. Additionally, there’s a rumor on a Devils message board that San Jose asked for Dawson Mercer from New Jersey, that would be akin to San Jose asking for Jarvis from us. Additionally, there is report going around that New Jersey will only make a deal with an extension in place as where Carolina is flexible. From what’s being reported, Carolina has Jarvis and Nikishin as untouchables, that could mean Morrow is available for the right piece.

Another thing to mention is Warsofsky is the assistant coach for San Jose and he was our AHL coach last year. If anyone knows our prospects, it’s him.

The longer this goes on the better for the Canes. New Jersey has the better prospects to offer but they don’t seem keen on letting any of them go and they also need San Jose to retain a bunch or take back a contract.

Wonder if the Canes could swing both Henrique and Meier. Svechnikov - Aho - Meier Teravainen - Henrique - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Stasnty/Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis 1st, Morrow, and Stepan for Meier 2nd, Ponomarev, and Coghlan for Henrique (50% retained)

Take Toews off the board, he won’t be dealt because of some long term Covid symptoms.

For what it’s worth, Dundon and Tepper are good friends and on 99.9 The Fan, Giglio suggested Dundon call Tepper and see about hosting an outdoor game in Charlotte at BofA. Dundon said he really likes Tepper and that’s a good idea.

Kotkaniemi has 17 points in his last 24 games which would put him on pace for 58 points in an 82 game season. That’s what we need right now so hopefully he keeps it up.

Yep, CB.

Charlotte ends the preseason with another win, this time over USL side, Birmingham. Charlotte won 3-2 and the goals were scored by Jozwiak, Copetti, and Swiderski. We’ll do it for real next weekend against New England.

I can’t wait until Nikishin finally comes over and provides the physical presence we need.

Holy poo, looks like a hell of a time.

Enjoy it everyone!

Wayyyy too much in my opinion for a player that hasn’t been that great this year.

Toronto gave up a lotttt for ROR.

Should mean more minutes for Vargas who has looked really good in preseason. It’s also time for Jozwiak to earn his keep.
