After dominating the Capitals a few nights ago, the Canes return home in hopes of doing it again. The Canes will look to keep rolling and it gets better, both Tuomo Ruutu and Joni Pitkanen skated today and both are getting closer and closer to returning.

The Canes will go with the following line-up...

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Jussi Jokinen

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

Chris Terry - Tim Brent - Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Bobby Sanguinetti - Jamie McBain

Dan Ellis

Justin Peters

Inactive: Kevin Westgarth

Injured: Tuomo Ruutu (hip), Joni Pitkanen (lower body), Chad LaRose (concussion), Cam Ward (MCL)

The Capitals look like they are going to be going with Michael Neuvirth in goal who has an abysmal 1-4-1 record this year. The Caps will be without Brooks Laich, Tom Poti, John Erskine, Mike Green, and Jack Hillen.

Season Leaders

Chris Terry is 1st in shot percentage at 100%

Eric Staal is 2nd in +/- rating at +20

Alexander Semin is 3rd in +/- rating at +19

Eric Staal is 5th in game winning goals with 4

Eric Staal is 6th in points with 31

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
