We damn near let an entire AHL team walk away lol.

 

The only players that have a realistic chance of making the full-time squad are Dalpe and Nash.

 

This gives us a real sense at what our line-up may look like next year.

 

As it stands...

 

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Elias Lindholm (hopefully)

Victor Rask - Tuomo Ruutu - Patrick Dwyer

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Zac Dalpe

Kevin Westgarth

 

Other players that could see time: Brett Sutter, Jeremy Welsh, Jared Staal, Chris Terry, Nicolas Blanchard, and Zach Boychuk

 

Justin Faulk - Joni Pitkanen

Andrej Sekera - Tim Gleason

Ryan Murphy - Jay Harrison

Brett Bellemore

 

Other players that could see time: none

 

Cam Ward

Justin Peters

 

Other players that could see time: none

Never understood why JR didn't like Tim Brent. Also, LaRose should be signed back.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I think Brent's main goal was to be the power play quarterback, and since he couldn't do that they decided to let him walk.

As a person, Rosey is awesome. As a player, he is over the hill. If he is re-signed it needs to be for real cheap and his ass needs to stay on the fourth line.

[G()AT]

Gotta agree with CP8789, I've enjoyed LaRose and he has in the past been great for our team, but I think it is time to move on.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Jerome Samson signed with the Winnipeg Jets.

[KillerKat]

Corvo just signed with the Senators

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Uh Oh Corvo lol

Seeeeeeeya!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Sanguinetti has signed with Atlant of the KHL.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Bergeron has signed with a Swiss team.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Tim Brent has signed with Torpedo of the KHL.

[KillerKat]

F**K!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Nodl is signing Switzerland and Wallace is signing in Sweden.
