I figured I'd make a thread for the upcoming season since there is usually not enough activity to have a thread for each individual game.

Nonetheless, the Hurricanes kicked off the 2017-2018 NHL season with a preseason win over the Buffalo Sabres last night. Derek Ryan had 2 goals (including the game winner) and 1 assist, Josh Jooris added a goal, and Jeff Skinner, Haydn Fleury, and Trevor Van Riemsdyk each added an assist.

The Canes are icing a young lineup tonight against the Tamp Bay Lightning in their second preseason game and Justin Williams makes his return.

Teravainen/ Rask/ Williams

Nordstrom/ Kruger/ McGinn

Foegel/ Kuokkanen/ Gauthier

Bishop/ Poturalski/ Jooris

Dahlbeck/McKeown

Carrick/Kichton

Samuelsson/Chelios

Nedeljkovic

Booth

The Canes training camp roster currently sits at 54 players with Stelio Mattheos, Morgan Geekie, Hudson Elynuik, Noah Carroll, and Brendan De Jong having been returned to juniors.

A lot of guys get to prove their case for being the extra on the Canes roster going into October this pre-season. Nobody is certain because Charlotte is likely going to want to ice their best possible lineup to contend for the Calder Cup. If the young talent can perform we may have a chance to keep guys fresh and not have to worry as much about injuries as we have in the past. I'm particularly interested to see how the bottom 6 do tonight.

The Canes snagged another preseason victory with a 2-1 win over the Lightning tonight.

Justin Williams scored on the power play in his first game back with the Canes and Teravainen also added a power play goal as well as an assist; Trevor Carrick also picked up two assists and Rask had one assist.

Both Nedeljkovic and Booth played well as only one goal was allowed (Nedeljkovic) on 22 shots.

The refs seem to be trying to clean the game up this year as 18 total penalties were called (36 pim), Carolina had 10 of them.

I'll also mention the Canes returned goalie, Jeremy Helvig back to juniors. The roster currently stands at 53.

Canes downed the Caps last night 4-1 to go to 3-1 on the preseason.

Goals went to Justin Williams, Trevor Carrick, Julian Gauthier, and Justin Faulk; assists went to Jordan Staal, Justin Faulk, Valentin Zykov (2), Marcus Kruger, Trevor Carrick, and Teuvo Teravainen.

Today, the Canes assigned Patrick Brown, Andrew Miller, Julien Gauthier, Brenden Kichton, Roland McKeown, Dennis Robertson, and Philip Samuelsson to Charlotte. The roster stands at 33 with 10 cuts remaining. 

Jeremy Smith, Jake Chelios, Aleksi Saarela, Jake Bean, Nicolas Roy, Janne Kuokkanen, Lucas Wallmark, and Valentin Zykov are expected to be returned to Charlotte at some points.

While Haydn Fleury, Klas Dahlbeck, Trevor Carrick, Josh Jooris, Brock McGinn, Phil Di Giuseppe, and Martin Necas are all fighting for roster spots.

With the Panthers struggling, it's time for everyone to get on the Canes bandwagon.

Canes have whittled down the roster again. Roy, Saarela, and Zykov are on their way to Charlotte; Carrick, Chelios, and Smith will be joining them pending waivers.

Hopefully Carrick makes it through.

The Canes roster sits at 27 with...

Teravainen - Staal - Williams

Aho - Rask - Lindholm

Skinner - Ryan - ?

Nordstrom - Kruger - McGinn

Jooris

Slavin - Faulk

Hanifin - Pesce

Fleury - Van Riemsdyk

Darling

Ward

Injured: Stempniak

I see 2 spots remaining for

Dahlbeck, Bean Di Guiseppe, Necas, Kuokkanen, Wallmark.

Based of performances I can see Dahlbeck as the 7th, PDG and Wallmark headed to Charlotte, and Necas or Kuoakkanen slotting in as the 3RW.

Tonight's the dress rehearsal before the real thing.

Canes going with:

Aho - Staal - Lindholm

Kuokkanen - Rask - Williams

Skinner - Ryan - Necas

Nordstrom - Kruger - McGinn

Slavin - Faulk

Hanifin - Pesce

Fleury - Van Riemsdy

Darling

Ward

Injured: Teravainen, Stempniak

Scratched: Jooris, Di Giuseppe, Wallmark, Dahlbeck

Looks like Kouk and Necas are going to battle it out for Stempniak's spot until he returns from injury; Teravainen is expected to be ready for the season opener.

I expect Jooris to be the healthy extra as Wallmark is too good/young to sit in the press box every night and PDG just really hasn't had a great camp.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
