The draft is today and we have the second overall pick.

Please let it be Svechnikov.

Hoping to see some trades as well.  Skinner, Faulk, Lindholm, and Hanifin have been rumored to be in play.  I'm thinking Skinner and Faulk are likely gone, but maybe not tonight.

I'm hoping not.  I think Lindholm has a decent chance at progressing to a solid two-way 2nd line center.  He's a RFA and asking for more than 5 million a year.  Hopefully, this is just a negotiating ploy by his agent.

No it's not, based on his stats hes worth a 5 year 25m deal plus he'll be the youngest ufa in nhl history in 2 years. So a 5 year deal eating up his unrestricted years at 5m is a good deal for both parties. Team and his agent met today and it went badly from leaked reports. Hurricanes are way off on pay and not budging from their 4.2m a year stance with Lindholm. 

 

 

I'm hoping that TD proves me wrong but so far he's done everything as cheap as possible and with word about lindholm over 800k a year and Skinner, Faulk, and other reports that's hes going to do this as cheap as possible and barely hit the floor and not try to build a winning team to compete for championships but just playoffs. I have a feeling we'll start to see a lot of changeover among players.

We agree. I think a 5 million dollar contract would be about right. After the Rask contract, the Canes are kind of stuck on contract negotiations. He’s worth much more than Rask. However, I don’t think he’s worth more than 5.1. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.

Having Svechnikov and Necas along with the potential of having Zykov and Foegele both making the full-time jump is really exciting.

As for Lindholm, I'd love to keep him. I think Bill Peter's system hampered him and we will regret trading him.

Justin Faulk on the other hand can take a hike for all I care. He's been horrible the past two years.

As far as Skinner, I'm indifferent, sometimes he shows you why he was a top 10 pick and other times you are left scratching your head.

Hanifin should be in no trade discussion whatsoever unless we are getting a 1C back.

Ive been tired of Faulk for years. Glad to see we didn't screw this draft pick up though. Things may be looking up afterall.

First round has been pretty boring. Although I’ll take it as long as we have Svechnikov. 

I'm not going to complain, at least they didnt fug up the pick by trading back or something stupid. I also think Svechnikov ends up being the best pro from the draft.

Pretty damn early to say this but Svechnikov reminds me of Jagr. Canes got a total stud, and I think he'll be a better pick than Dahlin when all is said and done. Could be a franchise changer. Badly need a goalie now though.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
