Big boots to fill.

Ya no. Do not rush him. Isn’t late December the medical date?

I agree we don't want to rush him in any way.  One thing I posted back when he injured his knee was that it wasn't a complete tear of the ACL and that was good news.  In fact, Svech wanted to brace his knee and continue playing but got shut down by RBA and the committee. 

So his recovery time isn't as long as a full tear, but I am right there with you - give him the most time to rehab and strengthen that knee/leg as much as possible.

We don’t need him until late December anyways. If Aho/Staal can rally the boys. Get some season under our belt. I’d say hold him until after the Allstar. But that wouldn’t happen. 

[Harbingers]

Dope.

So we aren’t making any more moves.

Sorry, I'm kinda pissed. I really like this kid and I think he'd fit really well in RBA's system and he could have been signed for cheap. A 6'2" 230lb left wing with the proven skill set to score 25-30 a year. 10th overall pick in the 2014 draft and he's only 27. He's been wandering around the past couple years, but he was solid his first 5 years in Anaheim.

Nick Ritchie is still unsigned. But the Canes signed LeMieux instead.

Well when we are knocked out of the playoffs again, maybe Waddell will finally address our need instead of fixing everything else but what it actually is.

We are fans and giving the answers. I don’t know, I feel like something big is coming…a trade, something. Waddell gets a bad rap but he knows we need a forward and have a surplus of defensemen.  Ideally we make a move before camp.

I think they want someone that isn’t another reclamation project or chance. Ie pool party or patches.  Rod wants someone he can count on day 1 to help us win. Something is coming…. 

[DavidEng]

If there are any more moves I would expect it to happen before training camp start on Sept 22.

I honestly don’t see any more big moves coming, will be a surprise to me if it happens. Big trade days are over imho.

I think Coghlan gets put on waivers and that’s it.

Season starts with…

Bunting - Aho Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Lemieux - Drury - Noesen

Other Options - Ponomarev, Rees, Suzuki

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Pesce

Skjei - Chatfield

Jones - TDA

Andersen

Raanta

Kochetkov

Really only a couple things to iron out.

- I for sure don’t see any use for Coghlan, try to ship him somewhere for a sixth round pick or something or just waive him.

- If Svechnikov starts on IR then he won’t count against the roster which opens up room for someone else. If he doesn’t start on IR then the Canes will probably have to assign Kochetkov to someone’s AHL team along with Ponomarev, Rees, and Suzuki as the roster would be full (13 forwards, 8 defensemen, 2 goalies).

- If Svech does start on IR then the Canes can either choose to keep three goalies or move Kochetkov to the AHL and keep one of Ponomarev, Rees, or Suzuki up.

I personally hope that we don’t rush Svech and let him take his time. In the meantime, I’d use the fact that Kochetkov is waiver exempt to our advantage and send him to the AHL so that he can get games (apparently we have an assignment agreement with two unnamed teams this year while we search for our new AHL affiliate). With Svech on IR ane Kochetkov in the AHL, I’d keep up Ponomarev.

My opening night roster would be:

Bunting - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Drury - Ponomarev - Noesen

Lemieux

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Pesce

Skjei - Chatfield

Jones - DeAngelo

Andersen

Raanta

IR - Svechnikov

AHL Call Up’s - Rees, Suzuki, Kochetkov
