Okay, I was wrong and I'm happy to be wrong.

That being said, Raanta gave up 2 easy's tonite. The second was pure garbage, he was so lazy I got pissed- not something that happens when I'm watching Canes hockey.

Raanta looks like he has declined. We need to trade both Anderson and Raanta and try to get a reliable goalie in return from someone. One that isnt injury prone and wont give up so many softies.

Raanta is a goalie that needs reps to get into a rhythm. Rod clearly has gone with KOOCHIE vs his normal rotation so it’s not helping. But that is ok. Tampa runs with Vasy all the time because he is that good. I’m ok with Raanta or Freddie being our backup but one needs to get traded for a goal scorer.

No chance that either Rannta or Freddie gets traded in my opinion. We saw how important it was to have three goalies in the playoffs last year.

With that said, I’d look at signing Jarry or Varlamov in the offseason and moving on from both Raanta and Andersen. Jarry is younger and could make a great tandem with Kochetkov for many years and while Varlamov is older, he’s another Russian goalie which could help Pyotr and he’d be less expensive than Jarry.

I'm reading some stuff about Bo Horvat (Vancouver) being offered up and a good place is in Raleigh. Doesn't make sense to me, on the surface, because the team is pretty much loaded with centers and that's not really the issue right now.

Of course, any trade rumors involve Jarvis- he's not going anywhere. And the fact Carolina is on a streak without their best player doesn't really scream, "We need a solution!"

Thoughts?

Jarvis is a cornerstone player in this offense. Plays rod style hockey. No chance.

Raanta’s rebound control is downright poo. Do your fugging job and direct these shots to the corners. If I’m Pittsburgh I’m throwing everything at the net, Raanta is sure to set them up with a Grade A chance from a rebound that he directs right into the slot.

Or, right to Kotkiniemi who cleans the air 4 inches above the puck so McGinn has a straight easy shot.

I agree with this. 
 

What happens when everyone is healthy is the big question mark for me. I don’t see us filling a roster spot with a 3rd goalie, but the only other alternative I see is sending Koochie back to Chicago so he continues to get reps, but the way he’s playing I’d hate to see that happen too. I’m glad I’m not Don.

No.  There’s no chance in the winter‘s warm or cold hell. No way Koochie goes back to Chicago. This may be the worst take all year.  Do you wanna fug up the season or get a fan based turn against you do exactly what you said. This is the easiest decision we’ve ever made trade Raanta or Freddie. that’s it.

Kochetkov doesn’t have to be sent back down. The Canes can keep three rather easily as Kochetkov’s cap hit is less that 850K.

I’d be willing the bet the farm that all three remain with the Canes.

Another reason that all three goalies will remain with the Canes is due to the fact that we don’t have a serviceable goalie in Chicago to come up and play. Sawchenko is rocking a 3.85 GAA and a .876 save percentage.

If the Canes rolled with just Kochetkov and Raanta/Andersen then they would be an injury away (a likely one at that) from having to call up Sawchenko.

How would that play when we gotta get max on the salary though?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
