Without Guentzel, the team has a better chance of being able to keep Jarvy long term, Noesen for another 2-3 years, Drury and Turbo maybe. And I'm saying that because I think Jarvis will make us forget about Guentzel.

Freddie has a modified NTC (15 team no-trade list).

https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

Read another article by a Pittsburgh writer that Guentzel is going FA but won't rule out the Canes. Sounds like Vancouver may go hard after him.

Pepsi was about the only soda I drank when I did drink them. I gave up soda about 10 years ago and don't miss it. Don't know what it was about the Navy, but it always seemed to me a lot of guys drank a lot of soda when I was in. I had guys that worked for me who got up in the morning and a soda and cigarette were the first 2 things in their hands.

If the Canes could somehow wrangle DeBrusk or Sprong to replace Necas, and Svech stays healthy all year, add someone like Amadio from Vegas, who had 27 points the last 2 seasons on the 4th line...

1-year, 2-way deal @ $775k NHL, $70k AHL and a $90k bonus. I guess this means we'll probably see him in Raleigh occasionally.

All of these channels are already on the Hulu +Live package I have.

Picked up this vinyl Monday- finally got to listen yesterday... Slash grabbed a bunch of different musicians and singers to record an album of cover tunes.

Doesn't make sense that he's taking on a bigger role in Columbus, then.

Not too much to read into. It's a hard cap, Dundon is pretty tight with the checkbook and Waddell has been here 10 years. Time for a change and I'm willing to bet Waddell was not part of RBA's contract negotiation. Mutual parting of ways.

Of course, as the only GM position open, and he interviewed last week, he's got a new gig. Title as yet unclear: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2917919/report-blue-jackets-expected-to-hire-waddell-for-top-hockey-ops-job

I saw him in the middle with Kubalik and Pasta on the wings yesterday. I don't have NHL Network, so I'm only seeing the highlight reels. Well, I read Kampf went to the room yesterday with an injury, so maybe they changed up? I could be wrong, but it sure looked to me like he was playing center.

Center. And he looks very fluid and quick as ever after a full NHL season. Gotta admit, he looks more comfortable operating in the middle of the ice.

Oh, and Martin Necas is having one great tournament at the IIHF World Championships for Czechia. Had a 4pt game today (1G, 3A) in the semifinal to get his team into the championship game against Switzerland tomorrow (2:20PM). Canada and Finland play in the bronze medal game (9:20AM). Both games on NHL Network.

Shesterkin is the only reason the Rags don't get swept. NY is just terrible against Florida. Florida wins all the 50/50 puck battles, board battles and NY's physical approach is like a bug hitting a windshield.

His contract was done soon and he had already been giver permission to interview elsewhere. My guess is this was an amicable parting of ways and it was his choice to go elsewhere.

Unless Dundon isn't happy with the way the season ended. Otherwise, I think you're right, the timing sucks because of all the FAs they have to deal with (9 UFA, 6 RFA), $30M in cap space and a loaded draft coming up with 9 picks available to the Canes. This may not technically be a "rebuild" year, but for all the work that needs to be done to complete the roster, it may as well be one. I'm curious to know when his contract expires, though. The article says "this summer," but when is very important. July is when free agency starts, the draft comes along... are we gonna lose Donny in the midst of all that? And yeah, for those of you experiencing Panther GM nightmares from years gone past, rest assured replacing Waddell will not be easy. He has been an exceptional GM and is probably one of the best in the league. Any team that does land him, if he's willing to go, will be immediately better.

In the 3rd period, maybe. Otherwise they were held to 12 SOG thru the first 2 periods. Fact is, the Rags had 2 power plays gifted to them and they couldn't convert. Their best scoring opportunities didn't occur until the last 10 minutes of the game. No 2 ways about it, the Rags were dominated last night. Florida won the 50/50 puck battles and board battles. The game wasn't that competitive until late in the 3rd. And it was on Rags home ice.

Wonder how many of these Third Ward residents watch the Panthers play every week, yet they don't consider them an eye sore. Because, that's plenty painful to see.

I'm guessing you didn't see the Ranger fans who bought their way into PNC during the playoffs? Thanks to that Raleigh faithful who listed their tickets Stub Hub or elsewhere.

Why would you care? Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers any more than Atlanta supported a hockey team.

As a former charter PSL owner (we sold our PSLs about 10 years ago), we went back and attended the Green Bay game last Christmas Eve. We were traveling for the holiday and decided we'd stay in Charlotte and catch the game. Having not set foot in the stadium for 10 years, it took 30 seconds to realize nothing has changed. The fan experience is no different than it was when we left. Even the same, tired music between plays, the same "let's get fired up, rah, rah" crap. Even Sir Purr's routine is the same. The best thing about the entire game experience was the fact the Panthers almost won the game against Green Bay- I think it was a bad officiating call that lost the game. Other than that, it was disappointing, to say the least, that nothing has really changed in 10 years. It only reinforced our decision to give up the PSLs was a good one. Don't miss it at all.

Here's the solution. Then move the team to St. Louis, since their fan base has more people showing up to UFL games than the Panthers have showing up in Charlotte.
