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.

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.

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.

    • I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."
    • I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
