Hey, my name is not Don Waddell or Tulsky. I didn't bring Gostisbehere here. Just sayin', after letting 33% of the best scoring blue line in the league walk along with a few other scorers, I don't think defense was on the mind of those making contract decisions. 

For some reason we overcorrect our issues. Our defense was good, so we think we can sacrifice for a one dimensional puck moving defensemen when in reality once you get to the playoffs those players get exploited.

Vegas and Montreal need to cut $7.6M and $5.2M respectively. Any trade possibilities there? 

Vegas is under the cap because of Pietrangelo going on LTIR.

Vegas is unfortunately fine, the LTIR pool isnt reflected in that when Pietelgrinos LTIR will more than cover it

And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother.

That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....

 

The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

Good luck to him.  But Im ok with this.  He’s not worthless but it’s time to move on.

[MillionDollarCam]

Good luck to Burns. He’s fine as a third pairing defensemen but Rod is too stubborn to do that.

Don’t see Ehlers picking Carolina, if he was it would have happened by now because we are the most competitive team that can offer the most money.

Not sure what we pivot to now but it’s time to look in the mirror. Top end players don’t want to play for Rod and Carolina. Raleigh is not a sexy market.

His agent trying to get him the most money possible. Only three teams in it. Utah, Washington and Carolina.
