If anyone will pick him up. Im kind of surprised we haven’t IR’d him knowing he’ll be out at least a month. 

Well he’d just be a throw in salary.

Basically if the Canes wanted to upgrade their forward depth and there was a guy with term they were interested in that had a cap hit of $3.75M the Canes could use Raanta’s and Lemieux’s expiring contracts as salary fillers along with the cap space they have and picks and prospects to get a deal done.

You’d basically be giving picks and prospects and cap space to a team for a guy with term. In reality though it only works for a player with term that a team might be trying to shed.

If Martin wins again, I’d have a hard time trading him and I was very vocal about not wanting him to begin with.

He’s been a calming presence in net and has beaten two Stanley Cup contenders.

Factoring in injury history, I just can’t see us keeping Freddie, Raanta, and Kochetkov over Freddie, Kochetkov, and Martin.

I’d either IR, trade, or waive Raanta with the intent of sending him to the AHL.

Put Rants on LTIR then assign him to the AHL? After the TDL, recall him. He absolutely deserves a ring if we win this year.

Issue is we are 24/23 with Freddie for roster size…

Once we’re the through the TDL the roster limit no longer applies. The Canes can have as many players on their active roster as they want so long as that player is signed to one of the 50 contracts allowed by the NHL.

A no-brainer, right now Martin seems more technically sound than Koochie, keep him along with Freddy and Kooch and see if anyone bites on Raanta

fug… chatty is out from that hit in the Vegas game..

[Harbingers]

Gonna be curious who we put out against the Bedard line.

Well that’s quite the start 5 SOG in the first 2 1/2 minutes
