Don’t know which defenseman will be on the roster which is why they aren’t automatics. Could be all three, could be two of them.

After watching Tage Thompson embarrass Bear last night, I’d move him for future considerations at this point.

Historically, they've only carried 7 d-men. And I hope Bear's contract doesn't make him an obligatory roster addition.

If Bear gets moved; then I think Drury goes down for a day, Stepan gets signed for whatever amount gets us within a million of the salary cap, Gardiner goes on LTIR, Patches goes on IR, and Drury gets called back up.

Roster:

Forwards (14)

Teravainen - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Stastny - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Drury - Kase

Extras - Stepan, Noesen

Defense (7)

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Coghlan

Chatfield

Goalies (2)

Andersen

Raanta

Injured Reserve (1) - Paccioretty

Long Term Injured Reserve (1) - Gardiner

At least seven if they do carry eight then unfortunately Bear will be here. I feel like they are trying to move him which is why the roster wasn’t finalized today. If he’s moved then they can keep everyone else once Gardiner (LTIR) and Paccioretty (IR) are dealt with.

Unfortunate on Martinook’s part lol. He’s a great extra but Rod refuses to sit him.

Didn't he sit a large portion of the playoffs last year? For some reason, I seem to remember that was a head scratcher.

And, to be honest, I thought he might be on his way out when Domi signed last season. But, you're right, Rod loves him and there's a reason in the lockeroom why the team gave him an "A".

Thought he was hurt but could be wrong.

I hate to be that guy, and as much as I like him, but Martinook needs to be waived and he either gets picked up by another team or he ends up in Chicago.

I know this won't happen because he seems to be Rod's type of player, but amongst the players on the bubble he is by far the least skilled at this point.  He's a great teammate, brings some energy, but 98.9% of the time he isn't going to score a goal that he should have due to pure skill. 

I also think that a spot could be cleared with a trade of Bear.  I just think he was outplayed by Coghlan and Chatfield.  Although this may not be an option due to Coghlan getting banged up in the last game.

I am worried about losing Noesen to waivers as I think he has what it takes to be on the 4th line.  He also makes it a more dangerous scoring line as well.

Are you saying you don’t like first line Marty?

      Wilmington hockey?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      Panthers Wideout Retreat - TMac Vlog

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
