Agreed, I’m tired of rushing our guys. Freddie gets a lot of poo for sitting out but that man is the poster child for coming back when he feels he’s ready. And it paid off during the playoffs, he was great.

Svech already has knee issues, dating back to when chara slew foot him in that rut. We don’t need him going out there before he’s ready and tearing another one. 
 

If I had my way we wouldn’t play him until the playoffs. But the dude loves hockey too much for that to happen.

It's a valid point. Our defense wasn't the issue last year, so why fix something that isn't broken. Sure, there are future cap considerations and trying to wrangle a couple extensions this season to avoid the pitfalls of trying to find money to sign Aho, Noesen, Tuevo, Martinook (all UFAs) and Necas, Drury, Jarvis, Suzuki and Rees (all RFAs), but still...

Ghost is out, TDA will be in; from an offensive standpoint, it's a Canes win. Defensively, not so much.

DeHaan is out, Orlov is in; huge Canes win.

Max Patch, Stastny, Stepan are out, Bunting is in. Another big win for the Canes.

Now, find a way to get DeBrincat, Arvidsson, Kempe... and not have to break the bank that Karlsson is wanting.

I’d take Kempe. The rest are meh. I don’t think DeBrincat or Arvidsson will fit our system under rod.

Welp, just dropped our cap space down to $2mil with the signing of Mendel. Given it would take trading players and every penny Canes have to get Karlsson this lends further evidence we don’t go that route.

Also Frank says (who the hell is Frank lol. Looked it up, Frank Seravalli a sports reporter) says Karlsson is not a fit for the Canes. Frank and I often agree haha.

Ya there is no way. This also is the question on TDA.

Ooh hasn’t thought of that, right we just had enough cap for tonys $2.5mil before Mendel signing.

Still I guess all kinds of trades could still be made. But it ain’t gonna be Karlsson. Nope.

Capfriendly has Rees, Ponomarev, and Suzuki on the roster, take them off and The Canes have closer to $5M in cap space.

Not to mention, Mendel signed an ELC and all ELC’s are two-ways, the Canes will find a place for him to play and he won’t count against the cap.

I don't think Mendel counts against the cap because he's on a two way.  I think he's just an AHL body and secondary insurance.

Pono shouldn’t be going anywhere. Rees and Suzuki should be on the trade block. I’d personally like to keep Rees but.

He might stick but if he doesn’t play consistently then the Canes need to find a spot for him to play this year.

It would not be helpful for him to just sit in the press box.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
