Final.

Canes 4 - Kittens 3

Goal 1 - Burns (from Teravainen)

Goal 2 - Svechnikov (from Slavin and Necas)

Goal 3 - Necas (from Svechnikov and Bear)

Goal 4 - Burns (from Kase and Slavin)


A few notes through three games:

- Svechnikov, Coghlan, and Burns have been my three stars through preseason.

- Pacioretty is exactly what this team needs and he can’t get healthy soon enough. There will be games like today where Turbo, Aho, and Jarvis just can’t find the net. Having someone like Paccioretty will take a lot of pressure off the top line.

- Svechnikov, Kotkaniemi, and Necas has been our best line in my opinion, I’m expecting a massive year from Svechnikov.

- I think Stastny is better suited to play with Staal and Fast as where Kase is more of a 4RW.

- The fourth line seems to be fluid but some combination of Martinook, Drury, Kase, Stromwall, Stepan, and Noesen will make for a really nice fourth line.

- Burns is going to be a Godsend for the PP and I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see him put up 70+ points with the usage that he’s going to get. Slavin and Burns are going to be one of the best defensive pairings in the league.

- As seen today, Skjei and Pesce are vital to this team. Not having our second pairing out there really showed.

- de Haan and Coghlan have looked great and I fully expect them to be the third pairing with either one able to play up a pair should an injury occur.

- As seen today, Bear doesn’t really do anything well and with Chatfield no longer waiver exempt, I think you have to move Bear… I wouldn’t risk trying to sneak Chatfield through waivers.

- Andersen may need another game, he looked a little rusty today. I’d consider giving him one more game since he’s been out for so long. On the other hand, Raanta looked really good during his two periods a couple days ago.

I’ll tell y’all. That score wasn’t as close as the game was. Canes had 40+ shots on goal to the panthers 6 or so. The canes absolutely dominated that game. 

Officially 47 to 8. That is just ridiculous. However 3 goals on 8 shots is also ridiculous.

First one Andersen had no shot of saving. Nice saucer pass over Bear and the Panthers player had a wide open net.

The other two I thought he could have saved. On the second one, Seeley didn’t box out Lomberg well enough but I’ve seen Freddie save that shot before. I don’t think Dalpe’s goal was anything special either. Freddie has definitely made that save before as well.

Andersen may need one more game to shake the rust off.

He also faced like two shots up until that point it can get you out of a groove.

True but Tripp made the comment today that Freddie stated previously that it doesn’t matter how many shots he faces because of how systematic he is. Might just be fluff from Freddie though.

Coming off an injury he’s probably rustier than most.

I missed the game, did we not play Pesce and Skjei? I assume it was just to get some looks at other pairings if so?

Yeah, I guess Rod just wanted to get continued looks at other guys. I thought de Haan looked really good but I don’t like handicapping him with Bear. I think pairing him with an offensive-defenseman like Coghlan would be beneficial.

So what are our most likely defensive pairings?

If I had to guess:

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

de Haan - Coghlan

Chatfield

Chatfield is no longer waiver exempt and I personally think he’d get claimed if we try to send him down; Bear on the other hand is overpaid for what he does.

The Canes could try to carry eight defensemen (Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, de Haan, Coghlan, Chatfield, and Bear) but I think juggling eight guys with only six spots getting playing time could get messy.

I’d trade Bear for a third or fourth round pick and be done with it.

I feel like de Haan and Coghlan have played well enough that I’d be comfortable with either one jumping up into the top four should an injury occur, and call-up wise, we could always bring up Lajoie, Lagesson, or Dronov to fill out the bottom pairing.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
