Rumors are that the Canes viewed TDA is a third pairing defenseman who is a PP specialist.

Not saying that Joey Keane would come close to replicating TDA’s success but I’d assume he’ll get a chance along with Gardiner to be that third pairing PP specialist.

One thing is for certain, the Canes are in need of a 1D.

Slavin - ?

Skjei - Pesce

Gardiner - Chatfield/Keane

Jake Gardiner no longer needs to be part of this equation. If the Canes keep him, it looks like pure desperation and a lack of confidence they can sign a quality D-man as well as a couple forwards. 

I'd give Ethan Bear a full, healthy season on the roster before I'd go with Gardiner. Here's a list of right-handed UFA D-men... and this looks like a no-win unless Carolina signs Klingberg.

How the F does Klingberg have 47 points AND a +/- of -28. That’s insane.

Look at how the Stars started the season and how they finished- like a tale of two teams. Without looking, I'd bet Klingberg got more than half his points in the first half of the season and got most of his PIM during the second half.

I think it would be wise to at least give Gardiner the ability to compete in camp.

I mean....is Bear in the equation? Last I heard he was suffering "long COVID" symptoms, which doesn't bode well for next year. Most of the people that have had that battled it for a long time if they aren't still battling it.

I've read something similar, but I don't know if he's been officially diagnosed. I've having the same issues, and I've spoken with my personal physician a couple times during my annual physicals since I was sick in November 2020, and I've not gotten an actual diagnosis. What difference would it make? It's not like anyone can do anything about it.

I hope that's not the case with him.- he's a good kid and I think he has a future on the ice.

It was stated on WRAL last night and this morning the money was the sticking point. If true, then I'm shocked the Canes couldn't or wouldn't pony up $5M a year- 2 years, which is what TDA signed for in Philly.

Show me a free agent D-man with numbers even close to his 51 points last season who's available for $5M.

Don't bother looking- there isn't one.

I’m getting tired with Waddell’s attempts to lowball everyone.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
