Bobby Raymond Signs With Iserlohn Roosters


Recommended Posts

The Checkers have lost another defenseman as Bobby Raymond has agreed to terms with Iserlohn Roosters of the DEL (German league).

 

Raymond becomes the third defenseman that the Checkers have lost in this years offseason (Justin Krueger and Marc-Andre Gragnani).

 

This will mark Raymond’s second stint in Europe, as the 5-foot-10, 185-pound blueliner spent one season in France following the conclusion of his collegiate career at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Since then, he had split the following three campaigns between Charlotte and Binghamton in the AHL and in Florida of the ECHL, where he played last season prior to joining the Checkers.

 

With the departures of Raymond, Krueger, and Gragnani; the Checkers are down to Rasmus Rissanen, Austin Levi, Danny Biega, Ryan Murphy (candidate for call-up), Tommi Kivisto, and Beau Schmitz as active members of the Checkers roster. However, Keegan Lowe should join the team next year and it is likely that Michal Jordan and Brett Bellemore (both RFA's) are resigned.

 

In 49 games (including the AHL playoffs), Raymond recorded 6 goals, 16 assists, and 22 points.

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