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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
