"The Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks conclude their eight-game season series with three straight games in Raleigh.

7: Sebastian Aho has recorded at least a point in a season-high seven consecutive games (3g, 9a).

10: The Canes are riding a 10-game point streak (7-0-3), which is the longest active in the NHL and the third-longest in the league this season. It's also the team's longest point streak the franchise-best run of 13 games in March 2017 (9-0-4).

Really interest read between the lines quote from Rod on Petr that may suggest Petr is more injured than though or something else. If we or the predators win the blackhawks are out of the playoffs so be prepared for them to come out desperate tonight.

The exact quote is “At some point we got to get Petr going here, at some point, to see if he’s even in the mix. You know like we gotta gotta get him some games. And so.”

Meanwhile, the Canes are 3-2 against a team that has taken a couple of huge hits this season with Jonathon Toews being out the entire season, Brent Seabrook retiring and the recent surprise retirement announcement from Andrew Shaw after one too many concussions at the age of 29. Add to the fact this team let go of some serious talent following their Stanley Cup run from the 2009/2010 season thru 2014/2015 (3 cups in 5 seasons) opting to keep some guys beyond their years.

I'll admit I was a long-time Hawks fan before I was a Canes fan and I still get a twinge when the 2 teams play. But, c'mon, another one of those teams the Canes should be dominating, but who have proven to create matchup issues. But hey, not may teams can keep track of Patrick Kane every shift.

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
