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.

      I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
