Another late night watching the Canes. But it doesn't look like we're the only ones with sleep deprivation. Carolina's offense was anemic in a Monday night OTL.

One of my favorite Seattle bands and let's hope Carolina can keep men out of the box tonight:

First Time Here: The Canes will become the tenth NHL club to come to Climate Pledge Arena this season, which hosted its first hockey game one month ago yesterday. The Kraken have four of their five wins this season on home ice, so there is certainly an element of home cooking.

Looking For More: Carolina will hope to generate more offense this evening, scoring just one goal in Monday's defeat to San Jose. Despite that, Rod Brind'Amour thought his team's effort was much better than Saturday's win in Los Angeles, where they scored five. When citing one area he hopes to see improvement, the power play was the first thing mentioned by the head coach. The team's man advantage unit currently ranks 8th in the NHL, operating at a clip of 22.4%.

Offensive Potential: Although the standings show the Kraken at the bottom of the Pacific Division standings, they rank in the middle of the league with their 52 goals scored. Carolina sits at number ten with just five more. Keep that in mind as we watch tonight's game though, because while Seattle has not had a difficult time scoring, they do struggle with giving up goals. Their 68 allowed this season through 18 games ranks third last in all of the NHL.

No projected lineups yet, still a couple hours away from deadline.

Most noticeable- Svech on the 3rd line with Staal and Fast. RBA wants him to get some better looks at the net.

There are a handful of players on the Kraken roster that have given the Canes trouble over the past few seasons: Eberle, Gourde, Jarnkrok and Donskoi come to mind.

Keep guys out of the box like they did Monday and they'll be okay. But you gotta shoot the puck- 23 shots is not going to get it done unless Andersen pitches a shutout.

Ya we gotta get shots on net. Teams are selling out to block our shots and it’s working so far.

      Off Season Thread

      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)

      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.
