not sure why we claimed him unless Raanta is banged up or they feel like he may be better behind our defense than he's shown elsewhere? 

It's not anything to really worry over though, if he's just a try-out or insurance policy for a week or two we can just waive him and send him to Chicago or something if he clears.

Weird move, maybe just want to give the guy a look?
 

I saw Friedman was speculating we might try and get Flowers(MAF) after the break, Colorado in on the mix on that one too since Minnesota is probably going to be below the playoff line.
 

That’s a rental we could probably swing but I see two issues with it besides the fact we’d probably have to give up a player(Necas) since no we are not trading Nikishin’s rights(and yes everyone has been asking for him. Literally the entire NHL would probably give us a 1st first round pick and their star player and their first born child to get this kids rights in the NHL. Honestly that’s probably why we haven’t made in blockbuster trades over the past few years. Cause everyone adds him in their deal.)

First off Flowers is a 1A goalie, I’m not sure how that would jive with how we are progressing Pyotr. We a definitely putting him in a position to be our 1 for years to come. Yes, Flowers could probably coach him a whole lot though. It would also mean Freddie would be done for the season.

Two, Flowers has been incredibly inconsistent in the playoffs dating back to the Golden Knights. (Yes I know he has three cup wins already before that.) But in the past like 5-6 years he’s fallen off, his numbers have been good up, until last year, but his definitely in his waning years playoff-wise. Perhaps our D could help alleviate his problem.

Ya he could be insurance for Peret’s in the backup spot. But I’d rather see Peret’s. Plus I think Pyotr will be back Sunday, definitely Wednesday in Boston.

Also nvm about Pyotr. They just put him on short term IR. FML. That means we won’t see him until after the all-star break most likely as that put a 7 day clock on him.

I kind of was hoping the Canes would give Kasimir Kaskisuo a shot. Interesting guy and background.

I’d rather give this guy a shot than Martin. But I’d still rather get a full game look at Perets.

I'll just copy this from the game day thread. I posted this earlier this morning:

"I have zero confidence in the goalie situation right now. A stretch of not so easy games against Detroit, Minnesota on Sunday and into Boston next Wednesday."

And, I'll add this:

The Canes will not make the playoffs with either Raanta and (insert name here) or Kochetkov and (insert name here). 

We may as well just let the entire locker room know that it's going to take 5 goals a game to win.

Honestly, I think Kochetkov and Raanta in the playoffs would be fine. But like I said in the above post Marc Andre Fleury may be on the rental shelf and if Freddie isn’t coming back we could swing that salary cap-wise. My biggest concern is MAF would have to be 1B if we are really trying to develop Pyotr this season. Not sure he’s willing to do that if he is on the rental shelf for the playoffs.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
