John Muse Re-Signs With Checkers


Recommended Posts

No worries Checkers fans, the Muse is returning.

The Checkers announced Tuesday that they’ve agreed to terms on an AHL contract with the 25-year-old goaltender who became the franchise’s all-time wins leader last season. Since turning pro in 2011 following a four-year career at Boston College, Muse has played for the Checkers on an AHL contract, an NHL contract with Carolina and, last season, a professional tryout contract after starting at the ECHL level

With Cam Ward and Anton Khudobin expected to the starting NHL tandem in Carolina, Muse and recent free-agent signing Drew MacIntyre would give the Checkers two experienced options. That would likely push incoming rookie Daniel Altshuller, the Hurricanes’ third-round pick in 2012, to ECHL Florida to start the season, though goalies that start the season in that role have a tendency to become important to Charlotte’s plans as seasons progress.

    • I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL
    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
