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.

      Bryce = Alex Smith

      Right. I didn’t think it was good either but the QB sure did. He was the defacto number one target, not Chark, was my point.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By strato · Posted

      We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.
