Really wish we could sign TDA. Guy could be better than Dougie was for us going forward. 

TDA is restricted I think he and Nino are the priorities, TDA wants to be here and given his "history" I have a feeling he's here to stay... My feeling is we get him on a either on a Bridge deal for 3-4M or a long term deal for the same there will still be teams who either won't touch him.... You get the feeling he values being a winner more.

 

My bet is we sell Raanta low in the offseason.

Question of the day. 

Since you love the Kooch. Who you rolling with fully healthy? Anderson, Raanta, or Kooch? Or just go with the hot hand? I'm going with the hot hand. 

If he's fully healthy? I roll Anderson in round two.... if he's ready Agaist Boston I have him back up Kochetkov.... and if Kochetkov continues to elevate his play I rethink that and roll with him.... 

 

This series is so physical I hope we close it in 4/5 to rest up, Even though there are no gimmies in the NHL a healthy canes squad that is able to recuperate from the physicality of this series outclass the Ranger/Penguins and its not close.

He is a dang good goal scoring forward to boot, This next level aggressiveness is part of the series game plan IMO..... Rod before the games "Svechnikov destroy"

My buddys and I were talking about the same thing. Literally this is what came to our mind. Rod telling 37…… “And Svech…smash”

I want to keep Tro over Nino personally. But I'm fine with either in the grand scheme.

Man my butt hole puckered with the thought of Lafontaine coming in for Koochie last night. I was like my Lord that would've been an epic disaster.

Boston was so devolved we probably could have beaten them with an open net.... I hope Freddie is ready to at least sit as the backup Laughy has no business being in a pre season game much less a playoff game.

I like Trocheck more as a player.... It's just we have several guys who can step into the 2C postion and put up the Same kind of numbers...  We don't have anther "Heavy "Power forward" winger waiting right now though.

Although nobody is talking about him, Nino was spectacular last night in every facet of the game. Physicality, scoring and that dive to make a stick block was, I think, a sure goal averted. That's the edge I think RBA has been looking for and I think that's why he stays and Vinny will get paid handsomely elsewhere.

Staal comes back next year, and the centers will be Aho, Staal, KK and Domi when Vinny leaves.

We have been stupidly lucky on injuries compared to other teams so far too. Knock on wood. Ya Raanta is brutal but the other top dogs have multiple players dropping like flies. Colorado already lost 3, Wilson plus another for the caps, two Florida players(from what I read) the list just goes on and on.
 

I feel like the people that said it a few weeks ago were right and we really slow burned april to make sure we were at peak healthy going into the playoffs this year. Watching the game from last night, our guys had a serious pep in there step, to the point Boston was just looking sluggish.

Ya I’m firmly in the Nino camp next year but TDA is absolutely the #1 priority and I fear we may lose both to keep him. I love Tro but Nino is by far the most underrated player on this team after Fast. Nino just give so much to rods scheme.

TDA is restricted, which helps. I don't think Cole or Stepan will be back, and Brendan Smith is a question mark as well - there are a couple guys (Chatfield and Drury) who may be ready to step up.

Defensively, the Canes are stacked. Slavin, Skjei, Pesce are around for another 2 years, at least. TDA and Bear are both restricted, so get them signed and bring up Chatfield. I can roll with that group.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
