If Beaulieu is Don’s idea of putting pressure on Skjei/Pesce then we are fugged.

Walt came out and said that we need around 12 defensemen available for the preseason so hopefully this PTO is nothing more than helping us get to 12.

Like I said… I’m worried we have major injuries on D that haven’t been discussed yet. Hopefully this is just a TC scheme… but.

Makes zero sense.

If there are no extension talks with Skjei and/or Pesce, the reality is this works in favor of the Canes for the upcoming season. Both will be playing for big free agent money and their performance on the ice this season will have plenty of GMs watching. Short-sighted thinking, I know, but it is what it is.

I've come to accept that neither will be here after this coming season.

I think we retain one. Which one is the question. I’d prefer Pesce. As much as I like Skjei too we have loaded up on “offensive defensemen” if we lose Pesce we in essence only have Slavin left in the true defense category.

I doubt they will come cheap.

Perlini never became what Arizona or the scouts thought he would be.  Another bigger forward who didn't get to the dirty areas to clean up the loose change.

Best season was in 17-18 where he had 30 pts. (17g, 13a).  Also, played more games that season than any other.

Eh, guess it's fine to see what he can do.

Conacher is 5'8" and hasn't played in the NHL since 19-20.  I would say he's a much longer shot.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
