Tulsky getting creative - creating a little more cap space, seeing what the Canes lost I think he has done a bang-up job filling holes and prioritizing players.

Praying for the family

I think they are still on board with keeping Necas, this contract is show me what you got and then we will sign you long term, fences will be mended if he performs well.
-
Don't know how accurate this was but I did read one column that said no NTC was included in.
-
Necas already nixed a trade to Jets, when does arbitration get done? It seems we are hamstringed until we get the figures for Necas and Drury
-
Winnepeg and Nashville will most likely be playoff teams - don't know what he is thinking, has he ever stated where he would like to go?
-
he blew smoke that he wanted to stay to drive up his price
-
seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
-
we were talking about Necas going to arbitration and how it would impact the cap
-
looks like arbitration and we keep him - I'm ok with that, let him prove himself if he wants to be considered elite. what does this do to the cap space?
-
All the above players will continue to improve and I think a few of the new additions will surprise us, I'm not really down on this current group and Rod is a good coach [yes I said it]. We WILL make the playoffs and once in anything can happen. I'm ready to sit back and watch what will be an entertaining season. We had to retool and this should give us something to build on.
-
we can look at it this way - we have been a playoff team for 6 years and always came up short so we can do it next year with different guys and maybe Kooch can go God mode and we can make a serious run - [see Vancouver this year]
-
to me Saros is similar to Freddie, good in reg season and bad in playoffs, plus what do the Canes do with Freddie unless we ship him off with Necas. Only plus is see is Saros isn't injury prone and is younger. PantherChris, good points on Jake - seems like we are at least trying to retain him

You are right, but I think we are stuck with him for next year - who is going to trade for an oft injured goalie that makes 4.5 -

Totally agree - give Kooch 2/3 of the starts and a rested Freddie will be fine as a back-up, just keep him away from the playoffs. Freddie has proven to be a fine regular season goalie. -

True enough, you just need an average goalie to get hot at the right time - unfortunately that never happened with us the last 5 years -

Wow, Bob is officially toast and the Oilers speed is overwhelming the Cats -
In this scenario they better hit on Necas - KK is probably unmovable with that ridiculous contract, and it looks like they need the prospects in the pipe line to fill the roster. I'd like to keep Skjei if at all possible

Great news
-
Who is going to pay Guentzel 10.5 million dollars for 7 years? Looks like he's going after money instead of another cup, his choice and I don't blame management for not doing the deal. I just hope they have a decent plan in place to keep us as contenders.
-
I'd do the Boston deal in a second - Ulmark is ok with 50/50 work and if the Canes could unload Freddie to another team - does he have a no trade, or can he be moved?
-
All the more reason he should have been fresh for the playoffs - don't get me wrong, Freddie is an adequate goalie but his track record in the playoffs sucks, it has to be Koochie or pick up a stud at the trade deadline. Can't win a cup with an average goalie unless he goes God mode for the run, we've squandered the last few years with just average goalies.
-
We did the 50/50 thing this year and we thought Freddie was the stud, can't do that again as he wilts in the playoff pressure, ok do 50/50 but give Koochie the playoffs, time to see what he's made of

Skinner is far from an elite goalie but he went God mode last game, will he keep that up? If he doesn't I see Panthers taking the cup easily. -
Nice to see a great guy get recognized - congrats Jacob
