Official “Preseason” Canes Thread

If I had to guess:

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Coghlan

Chatfield

Chatfield is no longer waiver exempt and I personally think he’d get claimed if we try to send him down; Bear on the other hand is overpaid for what he does.

The Canes could try to carry eight defensemen (Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, de Haan, Coghlan, Chatfield, and Bear) but I think juggling eight guys with only six spots getting playing time could get messy.

I’d trade Bear for a third or fourth round pick and be done with it.

I feel like de Haan and Coghlan have played well enough that I’d be comfortable with either one jumping up into the top four should an injury occur, and call-up wise, we could always bring up Lajoie, Lagesson, or Dronov to fill out the bottom pairing.

Burns and Slavin will be brutal on opposing teams.

I thought I saw somewhere where they were first and third in denied zone entries last year. Once they get comfortable with each other they will shut everyone down.

Lagesson placed on waivers, he should make it through to Chicago rather easily.

I haven’t been able to watch much but seems like Coghlan has been doing well. Can’t say I even knew who he was a week ago. If him and de Haan can be serviceable that’s a really strong D.

He was an additional piece that was thrown in by Vegas in the Paccioretty deal. He looks like he could be a good third pairing puck moving defenseman and QB the second power play.

Seems like they’ve been searching for a PP QB2 for a while and were hoping Bear could be that. Seemed like he was doing well too before his absence last year (I want to say COVID but can’t remember?). 
 

How has my dude Drury looked?

Not bad, I think he’s one six guys fighting for fourth line duty along with Martinook, Kase, Stromwall, Stepan, and Noesen.

Again, without seeing them this preseason, my gut goes with Marty-Drury-Kase out of those guys.

That’s what I think the fourth line will be with Stepan as the extra, though, Stepan is still on a PTO right now.

Cheers to the best pro team in the Carolinas.

I'd go as far as saying the only pro team lol

Interesting lines tonight.

Mattheos is making his debut which means Suzuki is the only remaining player on the training camp roster that has yet to play (though he’s working his way back from an upper body injury).

[MillionDollarCam]

Lagesson cleared waivers and is headed to Chicago and Seeley has been assigned to Chicago as well (waivers exempt).

The Canes state that the training camp roster is at 41 but I only count 40 and I’m not seeing Dronov who is now listed as part of Chicago’s training camp roster.

[MillionDollarCam]

This would explain why Dronov was missing from the TC roster.

Now officially down to 40 with Lagesson, Seeley, and Dronov all headed to Chicago.
