We need a goalie.

We don’t have the cap space to take his contract. Plus the jets are good so why let him go? He’s at what 6.75M? Nah. 
 

I’d say bring Perets up LTIR Raanta and make Pyotr #1 at least until Christmas. 

Don’t we have the cap space now that Freddie is out?  Also, if you IR Raanta that will open up more space. I bet wads could make it work.

Won’t help next year. 5M is our max if we bring a goalie in and that’s a hell of a lot for a goalie. Who isn’t named Saros, Vas, Shesterkin or Sorokin. We need to let our Russian get his chance to loose the net.

SAT line needs to be a thing even though Tripp has been pushing the Svech-Aho non-chemistry narrative. I call BS. I don’t see us retaining Necas in the offseason. Let him go spend time on 4.

The canes were at their best when the SAT line was a thing. Plus I call BS to. That Vegas OT game two years again, AHO To Svech for the game winner was beautiful. Also, Svech stuck up for aho on the ice against the rangers this year. Sometimes the players are just better in game Vs practice. Remember x-clown with Smitty?

pretty frustrating that we can point out the weaknesses way before the season begins and those weaknesses then show up again. We knew that we needed better goaltending in the offseason. We got the best out of Raanta and Anderson and we gambled that it would continue into this year which it didnt. Now we have to scramble to find another option to pair with pytor who may or may not even be ready to be a goalie 1 yet.

Did he say something, or just practice observations?

Haven’t listened to the post practices yet. But Rod AND Staals mentality post game was the writing is very much on the wall. As for Raants nobody said anything changed at any position which leads the the assumption of Raants is still 1A. Hopefully canes_pr will put out the post-practice interview soon.

The way this season started and after last night's debacle, if this were many other teams in the league, RBA might be out of a job.

I'd really like to know what went on during the 3rd period that RBA thought it was a good idea to leave Raanta.

Maybe RBA was sending a message to the entire squad. Maybe he thought it better to let them get embarrassed than to intervene.

Paul Coffey might be a good choice.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
