I think we all are just ichy for hockey. The team is good. We just need it. We fend for it. Maybe addictive if you will?!   Ups and downs but for the most part, we are really friendly and aren’t like the panthers sub. Even if I get a little flack for being too positive sometimes but I get it haha 😜
 

I’ll say, we have a good group in here. Hopefully we have more for the regular season games like we had for the playoffs 

 

we really should have a Huddle game we all tailgate and go too this year.

Tarasenko was a TDL acquisition by the Rangers last year and now he's signing a 1-year, $5M deal with Ottawa? All this after canning his agent and signing with new representation?

This sounds to me like Tarasenko may be a problem child and perhaps a blessing in disguise the Canes didn't sign him.

Yeah the Tarasenko trade drama turned me off on him a bit. 

Interestingly, the Canes first regular season home game is against the Sens.  A chance for the Canes to show him we didn’t need him lol. Here’s to a Canes win!

We don’t need him. Our roster as it stands is more than fine and will be better than last year even. With the knowledge svech is missing half the season. Bring Pono up. Get him some pro experience. Win as many as we can and we’ve added two bruisers for the conference games. If we need a scorer? Guess what? We get svech back.

If correct that the Canes offer was less than $4mil this easily explains why Tarasenko went elsewhere. Can’t blame him for that.

He got a 4-year offer for that price from the senators and didn't take it???? That would have been absolute highway robbery if he was able to get a 5.5m 4 year contract from the Sens.

The dude has been a ghost in the playoffs when he has been on a playoff team and thinks he's worth elite level money 🤦‍♂️ sounds like he deserves to be on the Sens.

Yeah to me that Twitter post sounds questionable. He ended up with a 1 year $5mil contract from the Senators.

Didn't realize he had three goals in their playoff series. Honestly, it seems like the guy didn't want to play here so he can go f*** himself.

As much as I don't agree with TDAs views, the year we had him he clearly showed he wanted to play with us and hopefully he'll do the same next year. I'll take guys that buy into our system and want to do well over overpriced rentals that will probably be shipped out again at the trade deadline

Point well taken. We should recognize spirited debate doesn’t set well with the more sensitive members here.

Youre kind of piling on after it’s all over though haha.

I wasn't trying to pile on, I was just saying it was pointless to argue over the rumor about Tarasenko joining the Canes when it is now apparent he's all about the $$$.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
