Us or in general? As Tort’s said these young kids(the ones that come out of college) really expect everything just to be handed to them, NFL style. 

Mentioned our struggles but I imagine every team is having issues.

Said that the vultures we’re circling around Scott Morrow and that Justin Williams had to do the heavy lifting with Nadeau.

They need to close the college - free agency loop hole.

Oof, gotta get Blake signed asap. Haven’t seen anything official yet. Kinda surprised Nadeau took heavy lifting. I think not having an AHL steady might be hurting us on that front.

I think you hit on the main thing earlier. Kids want to play in the NHL right away, Rod’s never been about that though.

I’m hoping Teravainen takes a discount

TT went from $1.4M to 2.8 to where he is now, 5.4. And he's a UFA so if someone offers him 6 as a 50pt per season guy, he's gone.

Noesen take discounts

Noesen deserves a raise. He's taken a pay cut with each of his contracts and these past 2 seasons in Raleigh have been the best of his career.

Martinook, Drury (on a bridge),

I'm on the fence with Martinook. His salary is not a cap killer, but if he wants something north of 2.5M, he may be gone. Drury, I think, is still trade bait. There are prospects that will make up for either or both being gone.

And the #11 in the room.... I think Staal might call it a career after this season. Just have a feeling.

Still nothing official on Blake.

Alright we’ve got a deal in place with some team… we’re now signing international free agents??? Doesn’t make sense without an AHL team.

I think this guy may be a 4th line tryout(from what I understand he’s a Fasty style player) but yes the signings seem to indicate that.

No word on if they are gonna skate today or tomorrow. I assume at least one day will be a practice. Probably tomorrow before they fly to St. Louis. 

[Harbingers]

Staal not at practice. He may not be on the trip if I had to guess, give him basically a full week+ off. Which would see KK and maybe even Lemieux getting some tuneup time. Nadeau and Blake practicing along with Morrow. 
 

Seems like only Ryan is at practice for outside reporters I follow so not totally sure if anyone else is messing.

TT also got a maintenance day it seems. I could see both him and Staal not taking the trip. Like I said give KK and Lemieux some tune-up time and maybe put the rooks in for one of the last two games, standings depending.

TT might be dinged. He took a shot toward the end of the Boston game.
