They are both consenting adults who made decisions. The ramifications of those decisions are such that I don't see the need to continue dragging their names thru the mud, especially when both are no longer associated with the organization.

I'm not paying anything. I simply logged onto the pre-sale and took a screenshot. I had a conversation with the Canes ticket office Thursday and the team has very little control over the ticket prices for the stadium series.

Not to mention 8 defenseman, including Bear. This only adds to the mystery. Purely a cap move?

The bearded blue line. The beard brothers.

Here's a hypothetical- what happens if there's no deal for Bear? Is someone else offered up just to get under the cap?

When is the last time any player on any team in an active status ever said anything besides what CMC said? There's truth to this:

I like the looks of this...

Didn't he sit a large portion of the playoffs last year? For some reason, I seem to remember that was a head scratcher. And, to be honest, I thought he might be on his way out when Domi signed last season. But, you're right, Rod loves him and there's a reason in the lockeroom why the team gave him an "A".

The seats I normally select and prefer are in the 80-120 price range inside. Comparable seats, albeit a LOT further away from the ice, are going for $500. I was looking forward to that game, and while I can easily afford the tickets, I think I'll pass if the best the organization can come up with is a pre-sale offer thru Ticketmaster. Check this: Upper level corner of the stadium, for a mere $125 per seat!:

Historically, they've only carried 7 d-men. And I hope Bear's contract doesn't make him an obligatory roster addition.

I have a ticket package and the best they can come up with is giving us a pre-sale offer? We don't have the option of selecting this game as part of our ticket package and, if your stomach can handle it, go take a look at ticket prices for that game. They start at 3-4 times as much as a comparable ticket inside.

Only 5 blue-liners on your list of automatics. I think Chatfield and Coghlan need to round out the list of defensemen and try to move Bear.

If this is prospect versus prospect game, it's pretty ugly.

Bear ($2.2M) and Dronov ($770k) are out. Chatfield ($762k) stays. That's $2.2M saved. Kase ($1.5M) and Pederson ($750k) are out. Drury ($925k) and Noessen ($762k) stays. Another $500k or so saved. After that? I dunno.....

So, last night was pretty much a one-sided affair, but rest assured Columbus won't look like that in a week. But, to my observation. It is just me or has Paul Stastny looked every bit of his 36 years, not seeing much ice time and one of the few roster additions that doesn't look very comfortable on the ice with this team? Oh, and the Canes are $4.2M over the cap as of this morning.

Drury and Noessen are the future of the team. I'd be surprised if Stepan sticks.

Burns had a no-trade clause and Carolina was on that list. Thing is, Burns hadn't updated that list in some time. Rumor has it he said yes to Carolina without pause and without talking $$.

Guy is winning over 75% of his face-offs... pretty damn good.

Wait, you actually pay to sit in that stadium and watch this garbage?

Hockey season is upon us. Not too late to jump on the bandwagon of a true professional sports organization. Go Canes!

He won't quit. If he does, he never gets another shot. And the NFL is full of bad coaches who keep landing jobs.

Definition of insanity is what?

Can only laugh at any of you still giving your hard-earned money to this organization.

There's the lefty D-man needed on the roster.

Yes, Burns can help me forget about losing Tony D. Canes 2nd period D was atrocious. That sound familiar? PP & PK both look pretty good.
