Any dosing recommendations based on weight? I'd prefer a more organic or holistic approach and I may give this a try.

Lots of thunder starting very early this morning, around 3 or so. Not much sleep and Master of Disaster went nuts, barking and crying. Wife actually got up and sat with him and held him for a while. Seems like he's getting more reactive the older he gets...

Absolutely. With one over-worked skimmer, it's allowing dirty water in the pool longer, which just exponentially exacerbates the issue, which is why you're having to stay on top of it. Adding a second skimmer will get the crap out quicker, allowing it less time to make things worse. I might also recommend one of the cordless vacuums that cruises the pool, too.

Except that Drury has already asked to be traded. Unless RBA and Waddell have had a sit-down with him and brought him around, he's not playing to his max effort if he doesn't want to be here.

Better yet, trade Pesce and Drury for the best wing you can find and get a couple extensions done to relieve the pressure on next year's cap.

I'm not sure about that one. I haven't done the math, but I don't thing the cap space isn't there, even with 35% being retained. A Pesce trade would have to get done or be involved as part of a 3-team deal. The Canes only have $2.5M to spend without a Pesce trade. And, I'll admit, I'm still believing a winger is the better move here, not another right-handed defenseman.

Wish my wife wasn't allergic, I need a mouser. But it would probably never make it with the birds of prey, coyotes and fox around here.

I've used a thunder jacket on my oldest as he just loses it when there are thunder storms, hunters in the woods and July 4th. It works as long as you know ahead of time there is going to be noise (July 4th). But try to put it on and expect results after he's already heard whatever the noise is and they aren't worth crap. Dogs sense the barometric pressure change and, given they hear twice as many frequencies and from 4 times the distance we can, if there's any way to get the jacket on before, it will work. But, he's over 8 years old and nothing will change at this point. So, when there's a thunderclap and he's running around the back acre barking at the sky... well.... Not much for doing the drug thing, but benadryl works also.

Oh, and if you're not familiar with Brendan Lemieux, just You Tube him and watch all of his fights, cheap shots included. Never thought I'd see the day the Canes would sign someone with that rep and style of play.

I don't want to jinx this, but didn't Max Patches say the same thing about his Achilles?

Oh, wtf.... This does nothing for Carolina. As a matter of fact, it's subtraction by addition. The guy is a penalty machine (484 PIM in 275 games). I don't fugging understand this move at all except to say, are the Canes now playing guys to be healthy scratches every game? I wouldn't let this guy on the ice between periods, let alone when the game is in the balance. May as well have kept Stastny or Stepan.

To be clear, city residents in NC also pay county taxes. So, while Tepper will pony up some of the money, Charlotte will have to come up with the rest as Meck County will not raise property taxes in order to contribute. And, in my humble opinion, the residents shouldn't have to foot the bill for any of these stadium renovations, new construction or otherwise given how much money the NFL and individual teams are raking in every year.

Canes have $3.3M in cap space and should still be looking for a forward who will add 30-45 points. The Pesce trade needs to happen and free up another $4M in cap space. The TDA deal, if there is one, is not yet applied. I'll throw a couple names out there who are not Tarasenko: Nick Ritchie and Tomas Tatar. Ritchie has had some good seasons, albeit he's probably a 30-point guy at best. But he's young, fairly inexpensive and a left-handed, LW. Tatar, on the other hand, is 32, but can play both sides of the ice as a lefty. He also averages over 40 points per season and will likely cost the Canes about $5M AAV. And, another thing I do like about both guys- they play with a lot of grit. Ritchie is 6-3 @ 230lbs.

Well done. To be honest, I almost pulled the trigger on an Ethan Bear when he was here.

Can he play on the wing? I mean, ffs, this team needs forward help. Half of the D is new guys and the Canes signed Bunting to replace Pool Party, Stastny, Stepan, etc. and Svech will be shelved until January?

Thee are a few that can be worn in perpetuity and never be wrong: RBA, J. Staal, Weeks, Wesley, Justin Williams.

https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2023/07/nhl-rumors-3-free-agent-destinations.html The Vancouver Canucks decided not to qualify Ethan Bear, making him an unrestricted free agent. To this point, he still hasn't found a new team and is definitely good enough to play in the NHL. Thus far, his NHL career has taken him from the Edmonton Oilers to the Carolina Hurricanes to the Canucks. His career year came at age 22 with the Oilers and he is looking for a home where he can get back to that level. He is young and still has lots to give, so let's see where an opportunity can arise for him.

Most Canes fans look at NHL personnel/salary cap just as they look at NFL personnel/salary cap. There is a big difference in the 2 and I think most average hockey fans don't really know the ins-and-outs, they would rather just see the same guys every year. That way they dont' have to agonize over who's name they'll have on a sweater next year. Could break the bank dropping a couple hundy on a sweater and the guy ends up leaving the following year.

I see Ethan Bear remains unsigned. I hope someone gives him a shot. Will likely never be a top 4, but he could definitely fill a 3rd pair spot. He's a good guy- wish him the best.

You're right in that moving Jarvy to the 4 is kind of a gut punch. But, there's not much room to slot him in anywhere unless Turbo gets moved. Even then, someone might have to play on their off-side.

Atlanta proper (inside the city limits): 500,000 Atlanta metro area: 6M Charlotte proper (inside the city limits): 875,000 Charlotte metro area: 2.7M

If you're going to use sauce, a nice Kansas City-style red sauce is the only way to go.

Until #37 comes back, I see Turbo with Aho, keeping a familiar face on his line. Bunting is on the 2nd line until Svech is back. Noesen moves back to the checking line and Drury fills the 4th line.

Speaking of Drury, what's the word on him? Haven't heard much since word got out he asked to be traded.

I saw this thread and immediately turned on my TV in an attempt to find ESPN and see if it was still broadcasting. The best thing ever to be broadcast on ESPN:
