9-8 but loosing to the Jaguars, Patriots and Jets. Lmfao

If you move Jarvis to line 2 at center then your lines are probably going to be the following. Ehlers - Aho - Svechnikov (Svech and Ehlers can switch and play either side. Hall - Jarvis - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Blake Carrier - Jankowski - KK Could also make the case to switch Stankoven and Blake around.

He's pretty damn good defensively, 55% fo center and still a half point per game player at 36. 98% defensive EV and 61% WAR player if going into advanced stats.

Also don't forget he's been playing with a busted shoulder for a few years now. Slides out of socket and has to be popped back in. That can't help the face off numbers either.

The Canes were talking to them about both before Ehlers signed.

Apparently the Canes have had multiple offers for KK, but have turned them down since they don't have someone to take over as the 2nd center.

Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

So what I heard wasn't wrong, he just took less term and money to sign with the Canes. Nice!

Hornets signed Spencer Dinwiddie to a one year deal.

K'Andre confirmed he's playing right side and it was discussed with him prior to signing. So we do now know the most likely pairings Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Ghost - Walker

Smith ran into a Will Shields problem. Lol

It's either Jarvis or Stankoven unless they pull off a trade. I'd imagine that KK will play wing on the third line. Svechnikov - Aho - Ehlers Hall - Jarvis - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - KK Robinson - Jankowski - Carrier Looks a lot better to me. Lol

They plan to start Kalkbrenner and see what they've got in him.

Draft bust, most definitely for sure. Misunderstood what you were saying. My bad.

Yep if Rantanen hadn't taken so long to make a deal with Dallas, Boeser would have been a Cane at the deadline. Just ran out of time making the final details work out.

They almost traded him and the Dallas first at the trade deadline for Boeser.

I wouldn't even say KK has been a bust, he was signed to be the 3rd center to replace Staal with potential to be the 2nd center. Staal didn't retire so it forced KK to the 2nd line where he shouldn't be. He's fine as a 3rd line guy.

Burns contract with Colorado is a base of 1m with 3m in incentives.

Hertl might still be a possiblity. Vegas is going after Rasmus Andersson and would need to shed salary to make it happen.

At least they didn't get the chance to offer Bouchard 11.5-12m AAV. Lol But no never get sticker shock on deals. I used to be much better at this when I had sources with the Panthers and Hurricanes. But alas everything good must come to an end. lol

Miller has a new number with the Canes. #19.

Rumors where that NY offered him 7.5-8m and he immediately told them no. A few other teams offered similar deals to the NY one and that Washington was willing to go over 9m AAV to sign Ehlers, so kinda why I expected it to be higher. However fair enough.

Another good thing about Ehlers is he can play both wing spots. So if they do try Jarvis at 2c, team would look like this. Svechnikov - Aho - Ehlers Hall - Jarvis - Blake Martinook - Staal - Stankoven Robinson - KK - Carrier Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Ghost - Walke Andersen Kotchekov Does that get past Florida tho...

Trip mentioned Larkin on the gold show as a possible target...
