Honestly they aren’t bad. Their defense is not as staunch as it was last year and I have no idea why they start merzlikins. Their O looks legit though vs. most of the league, their lines rushes have been pro. But like you said, they are probably a notch below us. 

Yeah, this is a Columbus team that gave Carolina fits last year, although they look nothing close to who they were last year.

Never expected Andersen to come in and play so well. I know it is early, but he is on pace for a career year.

Ned on the other hand isn't looking too hot in Detroit although they don't have the best team in front of him.

With the way the Canes are currently playing, this is easily a Cup contending squad.

Maybe they actually knew what they were doing when they let Dougie and Ned go?

Maybe Ned actually was a product of playing behind our good defense. 

Gonna be honest about TDA too. Overall he is not as good as Dougie, but I like what he brings to the team just a little bit more. I've been saying for years that the Hurricanes needed some attitude and toughness. HOPEFULLY he can keep his poo together.

I think we're seeing a powerplay that's operating on much better puck movement and unpredictability.

When Dougie was running the pp it was either going to be a blast from the blue line or he was gonna be the primary assist guy.

Dougie's point streak was impressive, but that's not actually better for the team.  Ideally if we can have better offensive numbers or pp numbers and points are spread around then that means we're more unpredictable and harder to defend.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
