Taylor Hall.

He wanted 14 in Colorado, they were countering with 12 or 12.5 and, apparently, there was a stalemate. That's how he became available. He's making 9.25 on his current deal and has a couple 100+ point seasons since that contract was signed. I don't see him staying for less than 12.5.

I think Morrow was called up to replace Riley Stillman. Stillman was reassigned to Chicago. The Canes may go 11-7 tomorrow in Winnipeg if Svech is still hurt.

Both of them are under contract for a couple more years at around $3M AAV each, so a trade would have to facilitate Morrow's promotion. Of course, if Burnsie retires or the Canes don't offer a 1-year deal...

1. Burns it to the ground. It's the same set up with the same rotations. It's as predictable as the days of the week. 2. Look at the best PPs, the biggest difference I see is the pace of the passing. The Canes passing is slow and methodical, it catches no one out of position, which is the goal. 3. Take both units and mash them together. Rebuild both units and write a new PP book. Canes had nothing to show for a 6 on 4 last night. That's inexcusable.

Orlov is a UFA and his contract is high end for what he's added to the blue line. He is more than likely gone after the season. That said, it does nothing for this season. Burns is also a UFA. But I think he's on record saying he wants to come back next season. Chatty is already getting the same TOI (even strength) as Burns. Sean Walker and Gost have no business anywhere but 3rd line. Make no mistake, Gost was horrible last night and has had a bunch of bad games. He's here for the PP- that's all. Next year would like Slavin- Chatty, Nikishin- Burns, Gost- Walker.

Chatfield is probably the 2nd best defenseman on the roster. What are your plans for him?

You forget that my correct pick percentage is well above .750.

2 road games this week in Winnipeg and Minnesota. Carolina will be very lucky to get 1 win, or maybe 1 point.

A couple guys showed up tonite,not many more. RBA said before the game the entire roster was questionable and it looked like it. Darcy Kuemper is an excellent goalie and I thought this game would be a challenge. Lost board battles, puck battles and-nothing new here- the PP is getting worse. Freddie gers pulled with over 3 minutes left and the Canes draw a penalty. 6 on 4 and they couldn't even get clean entry. Just an all around bad game for everyone.

Look like they're all under the weather. At least 4 blown calls, a goal taken away, and the refs are fugging terrible. Canes look terrible too. Not a good night in Lenovo so far. Nothing to cheer about here.

KK with the re-direct. No winners. FWIW, refs are horrible tonite.

Who knows? RBA isn't going to announce his lines until 5:30 with several game-time decisions as an illness rips through the locker room. I'll post my pick when the lines are official sometime after 5:30.

January is done and the Canes finish with a 10-3-2 record, climbing over NJ into 2nd in the Metro and trying to catch Washington, who seem to be be more interested in Ovechkin scoring empty-net goals to catch The Great One. Stumpy enjoyed a multi-win month with 2 first goal winners during the month. Standings as follows: PF69- 5 ABH- 4 OR1201- 3 DE- 3 STUMPY- 3 MDC- 2 PC- 2 P81- 2 DAMNIT- 1 CPF69- 1 Still anyone's season as there are couple months left... Remember, only 7 games in February as the Four Nation Faceoff will open the schedule from Feb 8-22 for the Canes. And those 7 games are not easy. Today's game vs. Los Angeles, on the road to Winnipeg and Minnesota sees the Canes playing the league's best teams.
