Well, the Canes got a little help and will be playing for playoff positioning tomorrow against the Devils.

Just an idea of where things stand:

Metro

1. Islanders - 70 points

2. Capitals - 67 points

3. Blue Jackets - 65 points

4. Penguins - 63 points (Wild Card 2)

5. Hurricanes - 62 points

6. Sabres - 61 points

7. Flyers - 57 points

It's super hard to make up points in the NHL, the Flyers are 9-0-1 in their last 10 and still trail the Canes by 5 points (the Canes own the tiebreaker), the Canes need to make sure they keep winning the games they are supposed to.

Hopefully Philly will go 10-0-1 today and handle the Pens.

We got a little help from Winnipeg as they beat the Sabres in regulation today.

The projected cut line is now 93 points which drops the magic number down a bit. A record of 16-10 over the final 26 would put as at the 93 point marker. This number will fluctuate up or down depending on how the Flyers/Pens game goes tomorrow.

Go Flyers

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
