I think this could be taken a couple different ways. To remind everyone else they bear responsibility too.. maybe they just aren’t cleaning it out until they know he’s cleared waivers. He was not at the morning skate today at all. 

The thought has crossed my mind that we lean heavy on Pyotr through the holiday break. Get Raanta some AHL time to build his confidence back up and if he improves bring him back up for round 2. If he’s not than reassess the situation.

Eh....given the wear and tear of playing a full schedule and perhaps playoffs, I would definitely pass on any AHL time.

He needs to be learning in net at the highest level at this point.

First off, you don't fire someone then give them an effective date. His locker is full because he hasn't cleared waivers. Or, maybe Rants is going to announce his retirement when he clears waivers with no suitors.

Second, there are trade talks happening with a host of teams. Perets is not ready for NHL hockey.

Raanta was always going to be reassigned if he cleared. The Canes get no cap relief unless he is claimed or reassigned. If he cleared and was not reassigned then the Canes would still be on the hook for his full hit, that’s why it’s called burying a contract in the AHL.

Additionally, to my knowledge, Raanta was not placed on unconditional waivers which is what is required in order to terminate a contract. And unless there is a contract breach, the termination of a contract has to be agreed upon by both parties. Raanta would only agree to that if he was intent on returning to Finland.

Now, instead of Raanta’s cap hit being $1.5M, it’s only $350,000 and it’s referred to as a buried penalty.

Also, in regards to a trade, there is a trade freeze coming up from December 20th to December 28th.

Hopefully Raanta can get back to the form he had for us last year in the AHL. Doubt he’ll ever be a Cane again but maybe another team i’d he claws his way back. He had a good season with us last year. Although age may be a factor.

Regardless of the current state of goalies in Raleigh, the fact this team decided to keep both Anderson and Raanta after last season raised my level of concern. 

Not sure about the rest of you, but I was fairly certain with both of their injury concerns that at least 1 of them would be gone.

Am I surprised this is where we are right now? Hardly.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
