Canes might have hit on both their first and second round picks from this year. Nadeau had two goals and an assist in his collegiate debut for Maine, he also had a third goal waived off. Both Nadeau and FUS are looking real solid since being drafted by Carolina.

Imagine fumbling the bag not once but twice, guy is an idiot.

Gordon Hayward already injured…

I think the Canes will start much quicker out of the gate this year than they did last year. A lot of the lines were fluid last year during the start of the season, this year I think the lines were what we all expected. The Martinook - Staal - Fast line picked up right where they left off, I was really impressed with them. I also thought Brady had a great game as well.

Think it’ll take Orlov some time to get used to our system, similar to how it took Burns a bit. Bunting is fitting right in though.

Chatfield in Lemiuex sits, looks like Lemieux won’t get a chance to bite Tkachuk again.

LMAO

I hope they don’t rush Svech back. Just go with 11 and 7 and rotate Lemiuex and Drury. You don’t win the cup in October but you can certainly lose it if you lose a player to a catastrophic injury.

Welp, here it is. Coghlan to St. Louis’s affiliate, Jones to Colorado’s affiliate, Kochetkov to Tampa’s affiliate, Fensore to Norfolk, FUS to Sweden, and Suzuki/Ponomarev to injured non-roster. Bunting - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Lemiuex - Drury - Noesen Svechnikov Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - DeAngelo Chatfield Andersen Raanta Canes have one open roster spot.

Should probably trade him to a mental hospital cause there’s some screws lose for sure.

Frank is right about one thing, we aren’t rebuilding. You had to be built in order to rebuild and we can’t even get the foundation set to start to build.

I like that move for Kochetkov, better to get him games than sit behind Andersen and Raanta. I agree with putting Svechnikov on short term IR and playing FUS until he’s reached the max number of games before he burns a year on his ELC. I’d go: Bunting - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Unger-Sorum - Drury - Noesen Lemieux - Suzuki Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - DeAngelo Chatfield Andersen Raanta IR - Svechnikov, Ponomarev Syracuse (AHL) - Kochetkov Norfolk (ECHL) - Fensore Wherever - Jones, Coghlan Let FUS get nine games then send him to Sweden and put in Svechnikov. The real dilemma comes when Ponomarev is healthy. Do they keep Lemiuex or get rid of him and bring up Pono.

Kind of shocked Fensore wasn’t sent to Norfolk with the rest of the really young kids. But yeah, I assume there’s some AHL teams out there that could use Suzuki, Ponomarev, Jones, and Coghlan.

Well, with Coghlan on waivers, that gets us to 23. Jones wasn’t claimed and I doubt Coghlan is either, so I guess we’ll have to find a place for them to play or they’ll just hang around Raleigh waiting for injuries. It’ll be interesting to see where Suzuki, Ponomarev, and Fensore end up; I’m guessing FUS will head to Sweden.

Still in this thing!

Suzuki’s injury isn’t considered serious, he’s week to week.

Which would mean we are looking at: Bunting - Aho - Jarvis Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Fast Lemieux - Drury - Noesen Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - DeAngelo Chatfield Coghlan Andersen Raanta Kochetkov Injured: Svechnikov Assigned: Suzuki, Unger-Sorum, Ponomarev, Fensore Cleared Waivers: Jones

Yeah I saw some guys are going to the ECHL but Rees got sent to the AHL. Be interesting to see where everyone else gets sent.

Love seeing Carolina dominate a game but I hope we keep our heads, next week is going to a be a big test. Win that one and the Heels should reach 9-0 before a date with Duke.

Eh looks like Dom Fensore is still with the big club for right now, good for him for making it this far.

Thomas Brown RKO’s Frank Reich, picks up the headset and calls a great game.

Caleb Jones cleared waivers. No idea where he’ll go but as for right now Carolina still have his contract rights.

Rees got assigned to Norfolk. I believe the only kids left are Suzuki, FUS, and Pono.

Based off last night it looks like Bunting - Aho - Jarvis will be the top line. Turbo - KK - Necas looks to be second line at least until Svech returns. Martinook - Staal - Fast is the third but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Turbo - Staal - Fast once Svech is healthy. Noesen and Drury seem to be cemented on the fourth line and I think Martinook will join them there eventually. I suppose Lemieux will occasionally rotate in. Defensively it looks like it’ll be Slavin - Burns, Skjei - Pesce, Orlov - DeAngelo/Chatfield. I wouldn’t totally be shocked to see us go 11 and 7 until Svech comes back. Suzuki, Unger-Sorum, and Ponomarev are also pushing for roster spots.

All things considered. I think Teuvo rebounds, Jarvis progresses, Svech takes some time to get going but becomes a 35-40 goal guy, Bunting becomes the additional top six guy we needed, Orlov sures up the defense, TDA fixes the PP, Lemiuex becomes our enforcer, and we win the Cup. Let’s get this show started!
