our one weakness...

It's been going on for years, now. It's been talked about ad nauseum. We've been hoping someone would take KKs job ever since we got him, Rod especially!

RBA wants a new 2 so bad, all it takes is a stiff breeze for KK to find his ass on the bench.

ETs been searching high and low, turning over every rock to find a replacement.

Literal gallons of digital ink has been spilled bemoaning our kryptonic quagmire. And, none of it has gotten us anywhere.

Centers don't grow on trees (they're actually tubers, if you were curious) and the teams lucky enough to have more than one are loathe to part with them.

Why not grow our own? DIY is all the rage, now. And, we just so happen to have a forward prospect in desperate need of an NHL roster spot.

At 5'11" 172 lbs, he's got a bit more size than some of our other options, with the frame to add more. A natural goal scorer that would fit in most teams top 6.

I have to imagine that the team will give him every opportunity to win the job in camp. The only way I can see Nadeau spending another year in the AHL is if he's learning a new position.

They still have eyes on the McTavish situation, so that's a possibility. Right now the answer seems to be a lineup featuring Jarvis at 2c. 

Id rather not risk downgrading 1/3 of our top 6.

Jarvis is on pace to become an elite NHL winger. So, let's completely reset his development and negate any growing self confidence.

It's giving some real Jeremy Chinn vibes...

I'm just telling you what the team is currently looking at. Aho, Jarvis, Staal, KK as the four centers in that order as of right now. 

Obviously id prefer them to go get McTavish but the asking price is pretty damn high.

I actually think McTavish might happen now... 👀

It's gonna cost a lot but the Canes want to win now.. 

Talking a first round and second round pick plus a few high end prospects like Nadeau and FUS. 

I'd rather send them Blake than Nadeu

Is the roster today gonna get you past Florida?

What is there to lose? 

The ability to get better, The team as it is is better than everyone else in the East.... making moves that dont move the needle towards the goal is pointless

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
