I’m in the minority but I like this move.

You pay $800K for a guy to sit in the press box and protect your star players when need be.

It also gives the other team something to think about knowing the Canes now have a goon.

Lived in New England and went to many Bruin games in the late 60's and 70's - that to me was the best hockey ever. the games today don't even compare, lets scrap the woke politically correct gentlemanly crap from the game and let the boys go at.

This does nothing for Carolina. As a matter of fact, it's subtraction by addition. The guy is a penalty machine (484 PIM in 275 games).

I don't fugging understand this move at all except to say, are the Canes now playing guys to be healthy scratches every game? I wouldn't let this guy on the ice between periods, let alone when the game is in the balance. May as well have kept Stastny or Stepan.

You bring up some valid points.

I believe prospect camp is now over. Heard some good things about Nadeau, Perron, Blake, and Robidas.

I’m newer to the sport of hockey so I would never portray myself as having a keen eye for identifying upcoming hockey talent but I was impressed by what I saw from Morrow, Nystrom and Perets.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

I completely forgot about Perets, it’ll be interesting to see where he plays this year since we don’t have an AHL team right now and he’s done with college.

After talking to lots of old time fans they are seemed agree with you that games in that time period  were different and somewhat better.

Got to watch the original Whalers from '79 to the end in '97.  Super exciting, lots rougher than today's game, some old Whalers who liked to throw down - Torrie Robertson, Ulf Samuelson, and my favorite Pat Verbeek. Got to watch Gordie and his sons play together, today's game emphasizes skating and speed with the blue line and 2 line pass changes, back then if you wanted to watch good skating you watched the ice capades - lol

Yes, like everything else it certainly seems to have changed.

      Draft Grades

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      We keep having to utilize high draft picks to make up for mistakes.  WR #8 McMillian to cover mistakes Mingo and XL; RB #111 Trevor Etienne to make up for mistake Jonathan Brooks.

      So THAT'S why they took my guy They knew they had at least 1 sucker out there like myself who might not be able to be patient enough for them to sell the better version so they just go out and get this one now, they saw me coming from a mile away. LOL

      I like to look at it as we have our offensive skill positions of the future set in place, IF they pan out like we think/expect them to, as we won't need to address those positions (outside of backups) for at least 5 years pending cap issues. QB: Bryce RB: Chuba/Brooks/Etienne WR: T-Mac/XL/Coker TE: Sanders If these guys become the players we think they can become, putting aside being able to find a way to afford them all, that grouping has potential to be one of the best offensive groupings in the league in 3 years from now. Yea, it all hinges on Bryce becoming that guy, but there is a crazy amount of potential in that group, and Chuba at 4 years of experience is the vet by a country mile as even Bryce is the only one there with more than 1 year of experience and he only has 2 himself.
