Official Canes Off-season Thread

So apparently DW said that Patches is going on LTIR today and that they are exploring options.

There’s also a Reddit rumor that Lenovo has won the naming rights to the RBC Center… I mean PNC Arena… or whatever the hell they want to call it.

Meh it's been PNC the entertainment and sports arena and others.... I may be over estimating how clever the FO wanted to be but Patches had tendinitis in his achilles last season, I can't help but think this was a calculated move to pull a Kucherov....

10000% it was

So listening to the DW interview, it seems like they expect Patches back before the playoffs, so there may not be some huge move because they’d need to be cap compliant as soon as he comes back. I think we’ll add a depth piece and then move out someone like Bear at the trade deadline to open up room for Patches. I think Stastny would be a good add, he provides a really good net presence and would probably work well with Staal.

DW also stated that Gardiner will be in camp, which at this point was to be expected as we have plenty of cap space. As soon as Patches goes on LTIR we’ll have just over $5M in cap space and that’s with Gardiner’s numbers factored in.

I think you try to get Stastny in here at like 1YR/$2M and then at the trade deadline you either send out Gardiner or a combination of Bear and Martinook to make room for Patches.

Prospect tourney is coming up soon, we’ll be a fun time to see our young guys. We also have a few kids in World Juniors right now.

We still have a ton of talent in the pipeline, Even with the assumption that Drury and one other move up... 

It may not be elite talent but it's solid middle 6 F and Top 4 D talent.

Yeah I think Drury, Morrow, and Kochetkov are the only guys that I see being big time players for us but I also like Rizzo, Fensore, Wall (unsigned), Honka (unsigned), Seeley, Nikishin, Ponomarev, Robidas, Blake, Koivunen, Lucius, Perevalov, and Trikozov.

Still a lot of good talent there and maybe some surprises.

So is Burns going back to #8 or is he just waiting for Necas to be traded somewhere else?

Any trade rumors? Been looking at NHL trade rumors, seems there were rumors of Vancouver moving Miller or Bouser back in late June. Not sure if thats still going on.
