Not an excuse STAR goalies are just NOT traded....

 

Best bet of that would be the Rangers sucking real hard and going full rebuild but they wouldnt want to trade us and if they did it would hurt.

 

Star goalies don't grow on trees....

 

Not to mention the past two years it didnt matter who we had in goal..... when you turn the puck over like that and get out muscled in the middle of the ice it doesn't matter who is in net.

I just want 2 solid ones. I dont like the burden being on one unless he is a superstar.

I think its Jarvis Stankoven is even smaller than Jarvy and isnt as good defensively.  Ive wanted Jarvis at center for a while... I think hes PPG easy at C and probably a Selke winner at that 

Yea i kinda like stank as a winger because he’s tiny.

So what I heard wasn't wrong, he just took less term and money to sign with the Canes. Nice! 

Goes a nice way after the Rantaneen fisco! 

 

Also It seems Nino put in a good word for us and it helped finalize it for him.

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.

Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

Yea same but its tough out there.  Everybody uses their backup a significant amount now, so there's not enough good goalies to go around.  Either that or the pad size adjustments made most goalies not that good.

Jackson Blake  in his first full year had a 34 PT season while averaging only 13:54 Mins a game. You don’t trade a player with his expected potential unless it’s for a top tier 2C. 

 

I don’t see it. But who knows.

I agree. Blake seems like the classic Cane type of player. He is one I would be very reticent to part with at the moment.

    • The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times. 
    • Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.
    • I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
