I mean, he could have turned down the money. He didn't have to take the deal.

Ultimately Raanta is responsible for playing.

It needed to happen, but who are we going to get to play goalie with PK?

You have to assume a move is imminent.

Keep you eyes on Necas, have a feeling he could be on the move, along with Pesce or Tony D.

All three. Waddell hopefully sees what we see.  Time make goalie and goal scorer moves.

I see theses guys as being trade bait: 

Drury, Pesce. If Pesce goes, Chatty moves up to the second pair and TDA is on with Orlov. Say what you will about TDA, but the Canes have nobody else to run point on the PP.

Drury goes and somebody is getting a phone call to come up to the show.

Either one of those guys should get a decent net minder.

The will still need goal scoring. It drys up in the playoffs.  And when you lose Drury or necas, we will need something.

We have goal scoring. We just need our top level players to step up and do their part.
