Us or in general? As Tort’s said these young kids(the ones that come out of college) really expect everything just to be handed to them, NFL style. 

Mentioned our struggles but I imagine every team is having issues.

Said that the vultures we’re circling around Scott Morrow and that Justin Williams had to do the heavy lifting with Nadeau.

They need to close the college - free agency loop hole.

Oof, gotta get Blake signed asap. Haven’t seen anything official yet. Kinda surprised Nadeau took heavy lifting. I think not having an AHL steady might be hurting us on that front.

I think you hit on the main thing earlier. Kids want to play in the NHL right away, Rod’s never been about that though.

I’m hoping Teravainen takes a discount

TT went from $1.4M to 2.8 to where he is now, 5.4. And he's a UFA so if someone offers him 6 as a 50pt per season guy, he's gone.

Noesen take discounts

Noesen deserves a raise. He's taken a pay cut with each of his contracts and these past 2 seasons in Raleigh have been the best of his career.

Martinook, Drury (on a bridge),

I'm on the fence with Martinook. His salary is not a cap killer, but if he wants something north of 2.5M, he may be gone. Drury, I think, is still trade bait. There are prospects that will make up for either or both being gone.

And the #11 in the room.... I think Staal might call it a career after this season. Just have a feeling.

Alright we’ve got a deal in place with some team… we’re now signing international free agents??? Doesn’t make sense without an AHL team.

I think this guy may be a 4th line tryout(from what I understand he’s a Fasty style player) but yes the signings seem to indicate that.

Staal not at practice. He may not be on the trip if I had to guess, give him basically a full week+ off. Which would see KK and maybe even Lemieux getting some tuneup time. Nadeau and Blake practicing along with Morrow. 
 

Seems like only Ryan is at practice for outside reporters I follow so not totally sure if anyone else is messing.

TT also got a maintenance day it seems. I could see both him and Staal not taking the trip. Like I said give KK and Lemieux some tune-up time and maybe put the rooks in for one of the last two games, standings depending. 

TT might be dinged. He took a shot toward the end of the Boston game.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
