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.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
