Still sucks for me though, I enjoyed getting to watch them play. (I live in Northern Illinois)

Oh nice, you get to watch the Calder Cup run?

Canes still need a goalie or 2, am I right?

Nevermind, I'm on the beach and trying to catch up on all the news....

A little bit, not a lot though.  Watched a few this past season though. Also went to the Canes game against the hawks as well.

So with the TDA deal all but being confirmed by Waddell, the current roster is:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Bunting - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Drury - Noesen

Rees

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

DeAngelo

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

 

Coghlan, Ponomarev, and Suzuki are also options for depth positions.

With the TDA deal factored in, Canes essentially have $300K in cap space.

Any additional moves will have to come via trade unless someone gets thrown on LTIR.

One of those defenceman have to be moved. Ya don't pay 7.75m aav for 3rd pairing, unless they are only bringing TDA back to play the power play. That'd be weird, right.... that's just not me thinking 2.5m is a lot for just PP.

Orlov will be 2nd pair, TDA 3rd pair. 

Pesce or Skjei gets traded and Coghlan is the #7 D-man.

If Orlov is playing second then Skjei is gone. Orlov is a LHD and the only guy we’ve had play their off side in recent history is Chatfield.

Orlov is too much money for a 3rd pair.

Skjei, let's not forget, has a no-trade clause.

Rod historically doesn’t play guys on their off side, I’d imagine they don’t sign Orlov unless they think Chatfield can play in the top four or they are moving Skjei.

If Pesce is moved instead of Skjei then the lineup will look like:

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield

Skjei - DeAngelo

But Orlov and Skjei aren’t playing together, that would be two lefties on one pairing and then two righties on one pairing (Chatfield and DeAngelo).

Word is team also offered Tarasenko

Max Lajoie to Toronto and Ghost to Detroit on a 1YR/$4M deal.

Still looking for that top-6 game changer but these are moves designed to move the needle in the playoffs for sure. Glad to see Freddie and Rants back.
