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.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
