Per Elliotte Friedman,

The Ethan Bear saga will be resolved soon via a trade or by placing Bear on waivers, according to reports, Carolina will not retain salary on any trade involving Bear.

Wish him nothing but the best. He's a genuinely good guy and a humble, appreciative person.

I can't understand how the Canes cannot get SOMETHING for him.

I don't just let him walk for nothing.  If you've started down this road you stay the course......

One big issue is a lot of teams are close to the cap so there’s only a handful of teams that can realistically fit him in and a lot of those teams will want to save that space for the trade deadline.

The Canes probably don’t want to take any salary back.

If I had to guess… traded to Ottawa for a fourth or a fifth…. I think the Canes want a third.

Yes, but we agree we should get something.

Those teams out there saying we only have a little cap space will claim Bear on waivers.  We aren't hurting right now not having that roster spot open.  Keep him until we get something.....

I think it’s more of Bear thing, I think he wants to play or be traded.

To be fair, DeHaan and Chatfield are getting the ice time and making 30% of Bear's $2.2M salary. And when Coghlan comes back, that'll be 3 blue-liners making a fraction of Bear's salary and getting all the ice time.

So I can't say I blame him, but I do have to question what Waddell was thinking when all of this went down and they gave him that contract.

On the other hand, waiting for another team to lose a 2nd or 3rd line D-man and they come calling for Bear is wishful thinking.

I’m starting to think that Kase might not come back, it’s been dead silent on his status and if he did indeed suffer a concussion, it would be his 7th confirmed concussion. At some point, a team is going to step in and protect him from himself.

I can see the Canes putting him on LTIR.

As for Hoglander… I could get down with the following lineup when healthy:

Pacioretty - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Teravainen - Staal - Fast

Hoglander - Stastny - Noesen

Stepan, Martinook

I’d rather get a pick and put the rook(drury) up, if we aren’t going to play Stepan or Martinook.

Kase stayed behind in Raleigh and the team didn't fly home until yesterday, so I wouldn't think there would be an update before the team got back.

Nonetheless, it's always good when a player tossed into a trade deal as an afterthought turns into real contributor, and I thought Kase might be that guy.

He’s been good when he’s been healthy but it seems like every hit rattles his brain.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
