There are a lot of teams who will use 3, and sometimes, 4 goalies going thru the playoffs. Anderson is likely done for the season and, maybe, some of the playoffs.

4/18: @ Arizona

4/21: Winnipeg

4/23: @ NJ Devils

4/24: @ NY Islanders

4/26: @ Rangers

4/28: NJ Devils

As the Canes are playing right now, this is a 3-3 end of the season. Any other circumstance, it's a 5-1 or 4-2 finish, but I don't think the Canes can beat the Rangers in NY again, the Islanders are a tough out and the Jets are a team looking to build momentum for next season.

The Canes will definitely be limping into the playoffs and may fall to a 3 or 4 seed in the Eastern Conference before it's over.

Also let’s not forget, this kid paid his dues in the second best hockey league in the world (KHL), the stage won’t be too big for him. On the contrary I think his competitive spirit is exactly what the Canes need and I think the team rally’s around him.

I’m just hoping Rod doesn’t try to run Raanta into the ground.

He's struggled a bit in his recent games in the A, but yeah I still want to see what he's got, at the very least split with Raanta and if he's grabbing the bull by the horns then keep rolling with him in the playoffs if Freddie is out.

 

Generational player? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. He's a great goalie prospect and has all the intangibles but he's yet to prove he can perform at a high level consistently over a large sample size of games (other Russians like Shestyorkin and Sorokin played for multiple years at a high level in the KHL before coming over, Pyotr has about 1/2 of a season of strong play). He's young for a goalies and very well may take some time to get settled.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      By NAS · Posted

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
