Lol they aren’t getting Burns back. Rod would burn PNC arena down. He’s even said Burns can continue playing in Carolina as long as he wants.

What buddy forgot to mention is we have the ability to open up cap space by moving Pesce, Skjei, Drury, etc.

Cap space can be created but GMDW is just taking things slow right now. Still a lot of time left to improve the roster so no need to panic and do something where we don’t come out clearly better.

His point on SJS not taking 40% and EK’s issues remains valid though. Especially on a team like this. As much as most canes fans bitch and moan we are not a “the guy” team. Pick TDA up and call it good until the deadline.

 More aptly put. We don’t need regular season guys. If anyone hasn’t been paying attention we’ve even the second best record in hockey for how many seasons now? 3? Or did Colorado beat us the season they won the cup. Anywho we’ve been top three for the while. What we need is is svech not to tear his ACL or a replacement of his caliber we can cheat the cap with. I am firmly of the camp if svech didn’t tear his ACL we would have won the cup. And probably the bubble year too.

This whole obsession with offensive defensemen is starting to get ludicrous to me. That’s how rod’s game works. We got a bit of grit. That’s great. We need to position ourselves to flip Drury(sorry dude) at the deadline, get someone who is injured but we know will deliver. Cheat the cap. Cause that’s how you win the cup in the past what? 6 season?

Exactly, we aren’t overpaying for EK. If it’s not a good deal then San Jose can keep that $11.5M cap hit which only gets worse as Karlsson regresses.

I really dont like offensive defensemen. They are defensemen. They are supposed to be good at defense.

I've long been off the EK deal. I don't think it's necessary, I don't think it improves the team from either a salary cap position or a playoff hockey contender position.

 

I dont like it either. We need another scoring forward. Defense was never the issue.

Interesting article about Nyander and the Canes. What I found most interesting was some of the stats they provide.

https://thehockeywriters.com/hurricanes-trade-target-maple-leafs-nylander/

`Carolina was the third-worst team in finishing ability (minus-31.15 goals above expected), and failed to convert on their opportunities and had the fifth-worst team shooting percentage (7.8 percent).  An injection of offensive firepower is needed, and badly. Carolina averaged 3.20 goals per game (15th in the league) and scored 175 goals (19th in the league), so adding extra scoring is apparent.`

 

Wow. Yeah I like Nylander. Scored 80 and 87 points the last 2 years with last year being his best. Only 27 years old, looks to be entering his prime. Right handed and can play RW and C. Yes please.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
