Mikko To Dallas


Recommended Posts

Trading a 6-4 winger for a 5-8 one. Still Mikko just didn’t fit Carolina’s style, not a real two way player but a position and shoot guy. I’m not addressing if Canes style will win a Stanley cup.

Interesting comments:

Necas wasn’t staying, Drury wasn’t staying. Then Mikko’s agent burnt the bridges here in Carolina by trying to get a 13.5-14m AAV contract and when we pitched him around the NHL he realized he wasn’t getting that at all. So they bit the bullet and signed with Dallas for less than Carolina offered him. 

That's fine.  Tulsly is still fuging dork and this whole thing is disaster.  They have less than an hour to flip those 1sts for another good player or two.  That is the only way this works.

This team right now is a disaster…

Aho - Jarvis - Blake

Hall - Kotkaniemi - Stankoven

Martinook - Staal - Svechnikov

Robinson - Jost - Roslovic

Stank is a center.  He will likely take Jost's spot.

Likely Stankoven on the third line. He can skate and I won’t be surprised if he does more for the team than Rantanen did in 13 games.

He has not played center this year for the Stars.

His last game with the Stars he was on Sam Steel’s wing.

Yeah, looks like he has played on the LW most of this season.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
    • They also came out for the encore and the singers were dressed in canes jerseys. Pretty fuging cool.
