Oh yeah, Kuznetsov is going to be fine.

Although he played much better yesterday, the level of talent is very evident and he will definitely be an asset going forward.

He's rusty and has no chemistry with the team yet, and you can still see the talent the biggest thing is you can see he is putting in 100% effort he won 61% of his faceoff draws as well.... when him and Guez get up to speed (hopefully with a few games to spare before the playoffs) wew just look out.

Rod said earlier that he won’t be ready in the next day or two so taking him at his word I suspect the earliest we’ll see him is Thursday, maybe Saturday.

Oh ya I remember that now. Not that I’m opposed to having a little grit with Pepe in there but…

It might just be me but I’d consider rotating Lemiuex with Fast depending on the matchup, he’s earned a spot out there.

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Guentzel - Kuznetsov - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Jarvis

Noesen - Drury/Kotkaniemi - Lemiuex/Fast

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

DeAngelo

Andersen

Kochetkov

Martin

Raanta

Speaking of Pepe. Canes just signed him next season or extended I guess you could say. 775 aav.

I cannot find a post I read on one of the hockey message boards - it was either HF Boards or a Caps related board, but someone posted that Kuznetsov had been unhappy in Washington for around 3 years.  They said he never really enjoyed living in the Washington area and when Laviolette became coach he hated his system and could never get comfortable in it...got moved around different lines and got even more disenchanted. 

I really hope this move pays off, Kuz isn't old or anything....I just think all the league thought he was damaged goods that couldn't be patched up.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
