Adam Gold just said on 99.9 that he doesnt expect any of the former players to come back. However, most of Gold`s opinions are trash.

Gold also said that Necas and Gardiner were in the Burns trade.

The only thing I’m curious about is if Marchment was plan A and Paccioretty was plan B or if the Canes were in on both the whole time and they planned on moving Necas out for picks if they got Marchment.

Not going to lie, the below lineup with have been fire.

Svech - Aho - Jarvis

Paccioretty - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Marchment - Staal - Fast

Marty - Drury - Kase

Noesen

Washington got Dylan Strome from the Blackhawks @ $3.5M for 1 year.

I had him on my wish list. Can play center or LW and had 48 points as the center of Chicago's #2 line last season. Washington's 1-year, $3.5M means Carolina could have had him for 2 years at $6M.

I also wanted Strome… thought he could have been insurance if KK flamed out as the 2C.

Sounds like the Canes wanted Morrow to move up this year but he’s elected to go back to school for one more year to continue to get his body ready for NHL hockey.

Nonetheless… the defense is going to be stacked next year.

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Whoever - Morrow

Looks like the Canes added a depth forward from the KHL.

I think Drury is a lock and then you have guys like Noesen, Pederson, and now Stromwall fighting for the 13th spot.

[MillionDollarCam]

So if you go five deep on the forward lines you are looking at something like:

Svech - Aho - Jarvis

Paccioretty - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Necas - Staal - Fast

Marty - Drury - Kase

Stromwall - Pederson - Noesen

More Wolves players.

It’s unlikely that MacEachern will see time with the Canes next year but he’ll be good depth for the Wolves.

Bear and Max going for arbitration.

Max already has a contract thru the 22-23 season. Unless the Canes are trying to extend him...

[MillionDollarCam]

Max is an NHL player in my opinion, he’s just stuck behind a lot of depth, Keane as well. One if not both will eventually move on and carve out a career for themselves… similar to Forsling.

Quite possible, his name popped up on the NHL.com arbitration list.

Are we talking about Max LaJoie or Max Pacioretty? I was speaking of "Mad Max" Patches.

LaJoie I could see wanting arbitration because he needs to make some money and, unless the Canes let him go somewhere else, he likely won't see NHL ice for some time. If the Canes were to offer him up to another team, at least he may get a shot on the big ice.

Sorry I forgot we had two Max’s now. LaJoie is the one I was referring to.
