Gardiner will more than likely be spending this year on LTIR… again.

Quick run down of the lines in practice today.

Turbo - Aho - Jarvis

Svech - KK - Necas

Stastny - Staal - Fast

Drury - Stepan - Noesen - Martinook - Kase


No mention about of the defensive pairings but imagine they were:

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

DeHaan - Bear

Chatfield (R) - Coghlan (R)


Then obviously the goalies:

Andersen

Raanta

Please stay healthy Anderson..... That's is the NHLs deepest lineup and will be adding Patches in Feb..... Health here matters most if Burns/Anderson and when he's back Patches stay healthy this is a cup contender.

One interesting note is Dzingel is with the prospects rather than the main roster group, definitely appears like he’s destined to play in Chicago.

Canes do have a good group of prospects in camp this year outside of Dzingel.

Dzingel, MacEachern, Stromwall, Gunler, Pederson, Lajoie, Dronov, Lagesson, Orr, Robidas, Pashin, Mattheos, Tieksola, Montgomery, Suzuki, LaBate, Farrance, Mendel, Rees, Honka, Murray, Seeley, Ponomarev, Kochetkov, Sawchenko, Vondras, and Hamrla.

Didn’t see Fitzgerald among the prospect group so I’m guessing he’s hurt as he was included on the training camp roster.

Would have liked to seen Rizzo, Wall, Fensore, and Puistola in camp but I’m guessing the first three are getting ready for their college seasons and the latter is staying overseas.

In addition to the above: Bokk, Koivunen, Heimosalmi, Reunanen, and Sellgren will all be overseas.

On an interesting note, a couple of the players that are part of the prospect team are tryout players or on a Wolves contract, not every player that’s on a Wolves contract was invited to camp by the Canes, so the Canes must like a few of those guys on a Wolves contract.

Additional prospects that are overseas or still in juniors include: Slepets, Webber, Mercuri, Nybeck, Nikishin, Nystrom, Guslistov, Naumov, Quapp, Blake, Morrow, Pelevin, Grudinin, Lucius, Forsmark, Perevalov, and Trikozov.

Was reported on WRAL sports on the late news last night that Gardiner has "suffered a setback" and is not participating in camp.

I'm not a cap guy, but how long do we have to carry him and at what point does it become counterproductive? I mean, he's an okay blue-liner, not a franchise player. Why are we going into year 3 without him on the ice?

Last year of his contract, they’ll stash him on LTIR to free up his cap space and then they’ll be done with the situation next year.

Gardiner’s contract was horrible, only one worse was Semin’s.

Ya like MDC said we are in the best case scenario I’d we LTIR him. The only one to lose would be Tom having to pay him for no play. And you know what if we need a blue-liner come playoff time we could always pull a Tampa.

Apparently it was a pretty spirited practice today and Rod was pleased.

One of the younger guys that’s been impressing is Vasily Ponomarev. Ponomarev spent some time in the KHL last year before coming over and joining the Wolves. In the 29 games that he played for the Wolves last year, Ponomarev recorded 4 goals, 12 assists, and 16 points.

In other news, Freddie now has a Lego man on his bucket.

His setback is sucking on a stupidly deep team with a cap hit 4x his value.

    • I don't think we should look at this rebuild position by position. That'll take many years.  Football isn't played that way. It's the ultimate team sport. Pass rush is not dependent on one player or position. Pass coverage is not dependent on just the secondary. Passing is dependent on the entire oline and your receivers. Rushing is not dependent only on the running back.  They've addressed every major area. That's all you can ask for. Make good decisions during the draft, and then it's the coaches turn to put it all together. 
    • It's tough. Yet again, such a huge roster flip. 10 starters added via FA/Trade - LG, RG, WR, TE, CB, S, ILB, (2) OLB, & (1) DL And then, whether internal moves/promotion/coming off injury, our starting C, TE, and other ILB (Shaq) will be different from last season. So we're looking at 13 new starters for a 2-15 team.  Losing Luvu stung a bit, but the rest were all understandable moves.  I am whelmed.  Without knowing results, it's a B for this team mid-reconstruction. Problem I still see--I don't know how we're going to generate offense with our current RB & Receiving rooms.  Dionte is a good addition but we still have no one to really become the "dude" on offense.    We're still pretty sparse and needing the Kyren, Achane, St. Brown, Collins, DeVonta type addition that could help this team do something, anything on offense.  The player that can help truly define an offense if you don't have a QB that's a top-level playmaker.     The good news is that I think we have a OL that will be able to pave lanes for that type of threat, we just need to land one now.        
    • That is Morgan's supposed job. Get Canales and Evero the folks they want while fitting it in the cap.
