Glad to be wrong on this one thought for sure we had no chance since it was taking so long. Maybe Fred helped seal the deal.

Don’t see Ehlers picking Carolina, if he was it would have happened by now because we are the most competitive team that can offer the most money.

Not sure what we pivot to now but it’s time to look in the mirror. Top end players don’t want to play for Rod and Carolina. Raleigh is not a sexy market.

I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team.

(2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way)

(3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton

(3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way)

(3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

(3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

Good luck to Burns. He’s fine as a third pairing defensemen but Rod is too stubborn to do that.

Hey, my name is not Don Waddell or Tulsky. I didn't bring Gostisbehere here. Just sayin', after letting 33% of the best scoring blue line in the league walk along with a few other scorers, I don't think defense was on the mind of those making contract decisions. 

For some reason we overcorrect our issues. Our defense was good, so we think we can sacrifice for a one dimensional puck moving defensemen when in reality once you get to the playoffs those players get exploited.

You're fooling yourself if you think he was here for his defensive prowess. Guy had 45 points last season. That's the only reason he was on the roster.

I don’t care how many points you score, if you are a defensemen then you have to be more serviceable than a PNC parking cone in your own end.

It was foolish to acquire a third paring guy that needs an elite babysitter next to him in order to be adequate in his own end.

Slavin and Burns worked because of how good Slavin is. Ghost and Walker doesn’t work.

Yea Ghost was really disappointing last year 

-9 in the playoffs.

This team is deep:

G - Ball, Mann, Simpson

G - Sexton, Knueppel, McNeeley, Smith

F - Miller, Connaughton, Green, Okogie, James

F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

And truthfully it’s an eastern conference final roster. Miller hopefully Ehlers and we trade for a second center in a few months or during the season and that’s how we get past Florida we’re very close.

Ehlers will help but we desperately need a 2C and to be honest we need to move on from Ghost. Slavin can carry someone like EK but Walker isn’t good enough to carry Ghost.

I’d like:

Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - 2C - Stankoven

Carrier - Staal - Martinook

Hall - Jankowski - Blake

Slavin - Karlsson

Miller - Chatfield

Nikishin - Walker

Love bringing Mann back. Now ship Green out for a center.

Expect the ol’ Tulsky trade down in next years draft. We only have a first and two sixths.

So the Canes current roster is:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Hall - Kotkaniemi - Stankoven

Carrier - Staal - Martinook

Robinson - Jankowski - Blake

Jaaska

Slavin - Miller

Nikishin - Chatfield

Gostisbehere - Walker

Reilly

Andersen

Kochetkov

Miftakhov

Call-Up’s: Nadeau, Robidas, Fensore, Primeau (if he’s signed)

Oooh. I hadn't been updated on that.

No worries, there was an article out there floating around saying we were signing him for one year at $5M, apparently not true per the GM.

You know Burns already re-signed, right?

That wasn’t an accurate report. Tulsky just stated in his presser it’s unlikely either are back.

Tulsky said we are talking with Ehlers and it’s unlikely Burns or Orlov are back.

Miller is your de facto 1RD who is left handed until we do something else.

We are talking with Ehlers.

That’s a dogshit trade considering we could have offersheeted him for a first and third. 

If this is a precursor to trading Nikishin I’m done. Miller’s contract is not a 3LD contract so if we are shopping Nikishin for a center I’ll fuging riot.

I hate this team. That’s such a bad contract.

And there it is… Tulsky handing out stupid money to a LHD.

8 years/$60M

Still waiting on the compensation.

Canes sign Mike Reilly, a LHD. Pop the champagne.

Unless it includes a C im not disappointed if this is the Case.... a 3LD would be very underwhelming 

No center, Friedman just updated everyone on the situation and said that we wanted to offer sheet Bouchard before the trade and then we were going to offer sheet Miller but agreed to a trade with the Rangers instead. But at this point the Canes and Miller haven’t been able to agree to a contract extension.

This whole Miller deal is contingent on him agreeing to a contract with the Canes and right now they can’t come to an agreement.

And somehow Tampa is trying to make Ehlers fit. Imagine them having Ehlers and Guentzel when in reality it should be Carolina with both Ehlers and Guentzel.

It’s Ehlers then a whole bunch of nothing.
