Canes Bring Back Stepan

[MillionDollarCam]

Officially official… 1 year / $750K

Canes have just enough cap space to bring Drury back up, once Bear is shipped out then Marty can be brought back up.

Are we sure Bear is going anywhere?

Don’t think it’ll be instant but I expect him to be gone eventually, can’t imagine the Canes want to pay $2.2M for the 8th defenseman.

Doesn’t the front office value having multiple nhl level defenseman though. At least we can move Drury up and down from Chicago without the worry of waivers. It’s honestly a luxary.

For sure, but I think @Anybodyhome pointed out that over the past few years we have only carried seven defenseman and in an absolute worst case scenario we can always bring Lajoie up. I just don’t think the Canes are enamored with carrying a $2.2M defenseman that isn’t playing.

I'm in agreement, Bear just isn't good enough to be more than the 8th D man Chatfield is a great skater and Coglan looks like he can QB PP2.
