Might as well get it started. 
 

Aho/Svech/Jarvis/Orlov/Slavin/Chatty are about all I care to keep. Guentzel at the right price.

Rod needs to answer some tough questions and probably surround himself with some different assistants.

F*ck this team I'm done

[Panthers Fan 69]

Rod sucks.  This team is limp dick

Gleason is fine. If Rod decides to come back and Dundon goes for it send Daniel’s to coach Chicago as a “promotion” he can still develop talent well.

It’s over.  This game 4 in Raleigh is going to to be a rangers poo show. Rod will have that confused dumbass look while throwing out the wrong lines.  What and end to a window ever. This team sucks.

I agree with this, would love to see Daniels go coach Chicago.  Maybe bring Justin down to the bench?

I believe we'll be younger and more inexperienced next year, and our defense will be different.  Still question signing Orlov.  He probably had his worst season with us since 2018-19 or 19-20 seasons while playing less minutes.  He was a luxury I don't think we had to have, but that die has been cast now.

Next year who should be back?

• Aho
• Svech
• Jarvy (gotta get him signed, bridge deal so we can sign Guentzel)
• Guentzel (gotta hope we can sign him to a fair deal that won't cripple us)
• Necas (I know there will be debate, but he is very skilled and won't be easy to replace)
• Staal (if he doesn't retire)
• Fast (please let him stay healthy)
• KK (boy that "reasonable" contract isn't looking so hot and I don't think we can get someone to take him off our hands...will take a sweetner to do it)
• Kuzy (another gamble that looked good for about 3-4 games now looks bad, buyout?)
• Martinook only if it's a really team friendly deal...no more than $1M/yr
• Noesen - think he's gone, team has to get the younger guys in
• Drury - will be interesting, fine 4th line player but shouldn't overpay
• Turbo - again, it will have to be a very friendly team deal if he wants to stay, otherwise I think Turbotime has expired
• Lemiuex - signed for another year to be a healthy scratch most of the season
• Slavin - back
• Burns - back
• Orlov - back
• Skjei - I hope we can re-sign him to a fair deal
• Pesce - don't see him back in a Canes sweater
• Chatty - would like to re-sign to a fair deal
• TDA - hasta la vista

Who should get the call to the roster:

• Morrow - welcome to the deep end kid
• FUS - really think he is going to be good
• Blake - let's see what you got young man
• Honka - actually rated higher than Morrow by scouts
• Nadeau - see Blake
• Suzuki, Gunler?? 

Of course who knows what the brain trust is going to do!

Going Young: 

Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis

Svech - KK - Necas

Nadeau - Staal - Fast

Blake - Drury - FUS

Lemiuex

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Skjei

Chatty - Morrow

Honka

Andersen (1a/b)
Koochie (1a/b)
Perets

Heck I have no idea........

 

[PleaseCutStewart]

Yeah, I think next year will be a semi-rebuild/bridge year until we get nikishkin here. But... If we are able to have those lines you have above next year, I will be thrilled. 

 

Edit: I'm fairly certain Staal retires or goes to another team next year

I think they still have the talent to make the playoffs... probably as a wc. But yeah Nikishin is gonna be a star I can tell you that he's gonna be our Cale Makar

 

That said we need a 2C I think it's Jarvis.

It’s not good when our 2C is Staal. I believe Jarvy could be like Trocheck but a little better. 

[PleaseCutStewart]

I wouldn't be opposed to having Necas be inserted as our 2C (if he is still here next year). He played it in the minors and that would allow us to keep aho and Jarvis on the same line.

I love that idea. ESP if we pay him like a 2LC

[MillionDollarCam]

A lot of what I would do depends on who the coach is.

If Rod is still the coach then I’m trading Necas for a better fit, buying out Kuznetsov, and trying to ship Kotkaniemi off.

[Chief_Chokeaho]

They are grooming Jarvis for 2C imo

Staal won't go to another team, he's signed for another year....maybe 2.  He may retire, but I don't get that feeling.
