His new deal is $5.12M for the next 4 years starting next season. It's fair. If he becomes a 60 point guy, then his next deal at 27 years old will be in the 7s or 8s.

Gotta believe the FO is already talking extension, just to take the QO risk off the table.

What does Nikishin's contract look like as an RFA at the end of the season?

Kochetkov is still working thru his injury, otherwise, I'm totally in agreement.

RBA went empty net down 4-1. Lol. PP is terrible, PK even has issues, and your #1 goalie needs to be sent to Chicago. Unless they scored 4-5 goals a night, the Canes are in trouble.

I'm gonna watch something else for awhile and check the score later.

Are you fugging kidding me?

Toronto is playing better now than the last time Carolina faced them. Carolina was -210, I'm sure that was before Freddie was confirmed in net. Not looking forward to this.

Me, too. Calgary just sagged their D and always has 3 guys down low inside the dots. Carolina had about 40 shot attempts, which is still low for them, but the Flames were taking pucks off their legs, knees, skates. The number of guys laboring to get to the bench after blocking a shot was scary. The longer the game went on and Carolina had not scored, the Flames gained confidence. Who was Andersson (Flames #4 wearing the A) trying to fight after Ehlers scored? I'll have to watch the replay later.

Miller makes a lot of heady plays away from the puck that prevent odd-man breaks, stretch passes, etc that a lot of fans don't see. 20 games into his 1st season with the Canes and knowing his play in NY, I'm pretty happy with the addition.

Preds are looking to move Marchessault & Stamkos. Canucks are looking to unload a handful: Boesser, Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrusk, Conor Garland. I, for one, wouldn't turn my nose up at Marchessault, Boehner or Garland. Even DeBrusk.

I've been saying this for a couple weeks now. Even if you're not a stat geek, you can watch the games and see he's not performing close to what we've seen over the years. Yes, Kochetkov is hurt, but he won't be forever and I think it's time to move on and call Kochetkov and Bussi your 1 and 2. With $11M in cap space, the Canes have an opportunity.

3 goals on 14 shots. RBA's stubborn ass is going to have a #1 goalie with a 5-6-2 record.

Just play .500 hockey until they can put their 3 complete lines together, I guess. Don't understand why Bussi isn't in net tonight. 3rd line is broken without Staal. 4th line is just broken.

Remember Sunday afternoon? Don't get mad if tonight looks no different.
