Totally agree, they rolled the dice on the goalie situation and got craps, with all the talent and depth on this team and with the style they play can you imagine what a powerhouse we would be with an elite goalie? We are screwed now, we can't just trade for another average stiff, only hope is to stay in the playoff hunt and score a big name goalie at the deadline.

That is the ideal plan for sure.

I know Stumpy wants the Juice, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Kaapo Kahkonen is a possibility from San Jose and wouldn't be expensive.  One other name to watch would be Connor Ingram who plays for Arizona.  Ingram would cost more, but has pretty good numbers and to be fair I am not even sure Arizona would trade him....

The pickings are slim, but if Freddy isn't coming back Donny Waddles has to do something IMO.

This is the reality. The Canes are in a world of trouble with no end in sight.

There is good news. Someone said it earlier. We have good players. Some are just a bad fit. We can afford to let go of some players to get what we need. Also, we have some really quality prospects that are getting about that time for a look. 
 

but I’ll say it again….a good goalie will fix 80% of our problems. A true sniper will take us to the cup.

Not sure why you are on about a sniper… we have plenty of them. People just know our lanes and block shots.

Agreed, we take waaaay too many shots from outside that get blocked a/o deflected before they get to the net.

Even if they do get to the net we don't have anyone parked there like there needs to be if that's going to be our game plan.  Also, if you do finally park someone in front of the net they have to have good hands i.e. not Staal or Marty....Bunting can locate, pick the puck up, and place a rebound as good as anyone I've seen on the Canes this year.  Maybe Noesen too??

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      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!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
