I think FUS forces his way onto the roster Ala Jarvis...

I agree there is way too many Panthers esque the world is ending posters right now.

 

At 5'10 177 FUS is not ready to play top six minutes 

Neither is Nadeau.

Anyone know the latest on DeAngelo? Are the Canes resigning him? Per the website, all the other unrestricted free agents have new teams.

TDA remains unsigned as of yesterday.

It was reported in May he was going to require hand surgery in the off-season. Not sure if that's done, but he is not under contract with anyone.

With only 6 blue-liners under contract and 21 of 23 slots filled on the active roster, he may be back on a 1-year deal. Unless Morrow cracks the lineup. He has a 2-way and would save some cap space. Not much, but some.

I guess Aho and Jarvis aren't either lol seeing as both were slightly lighter when they made their debut.... and still listed lighter FUS will be fine...

 

Nadeau I agree could use anther 15-20 pounds.

Kuznetsov returning to the KHL frees up 3.9m in cap

Hoping for the best with him. He's been through some tough times and I hope he finds himself in a place he wants to be, and around people who want to be with him.

We were only fortunate enough to see just a glimpse of what he's capable of as a hockey player. The emotion and fire he brings to the ice is a likely contributor to his issues, but here's to his health and well-being.

It appears the demise of Evgeny Kuznetsov and his departure from the NHL may be a little premature:

"Everything is possible in this life, but it is too early to talk about Evgeny Kuznetsov's return to Russia," Babayev said. "It is not even clear why this information arose, because he has a contract with Carolina for another year. But there was an appeal from SKA. They called and said that if Evgeny were to return, they were ready to talk. But the appeal was not only from SKA, but also from other teams.

https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/posts/agent-shuts-down-rumors-carolina-hurricanes-evgeni-kuznetsov

It didn’t take long for reports that Carolina Hurricanes forward Evgeny Kuznetsov was leaving the NHL for the KHL to take a turn. Championat.com first reported that Kuznetsov was signing a four-year deal with SKA St. Petersburg despite still being under contract with the Hurricanes for another year. Kuznetsov’s agent agent made a statement regarding the situation.

In tweets from Hockey News Hub, Shumi Babaev spoke with Championat correspondent Vladislav Kruglov. Babaev stated that it’s too early to talk about Kuznetsov possibly returning to Russia.

“It’s not even clear why this news arose because he has a contract in Carolina for another year,” Babaev said. “But there was an appeal from SKA.”

It seems like at the moment, Kuznetsov is staying with the Hurricanes, but SKA has approached the player with an offer. Babaev also says SKA wasn’t the only team to be in touch.

“They called and said if Evgeny were to return to, they were ready to talk,” Babaev said. “The appeal was not only from SKA, but also from other teams.”

Babaev noted that Kuznetsov is primarily focused on working and playing in the NHL. A KHL return may come eventually, but nothing can be made certain at the moment. With a contract in place through the 2024-25 season, it seems unlikely that Kuznetsov will leave for Russia.

Before being drafted by the Washington Capitals in 2010, Kuznetsov played five seasons with Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Kuznetsov is a native of Chelyabinsk and scored 167 points in 251 games.

Over his 743-game NHL career, Kuznetsov has scored 173 goals and 402 assists for 575 total points. He was a huge part of the Capitals team that won the franchise’s first Stanley Cup in 2018.

He led the postseason with 32 points in 24 games that year.

Kuzy is definitely gone. As much as we liked him and wanted it to work, he isn’t a fit here. He plays his own way and didn’t really light the lamp as much to make up for it.  His pace doesn’t fit Rods system. We will be getting 4 million back. This should pave the way for Seth necas and Drury easily.  Also, will give us room for a good trade like Ehlers.

He was placed on unconditional waivers by the team for the purpose of terminating his contract, which I detailed at length in the Necas thread earlier today. A mutual parting of ways.

But, yeah, okay Nostradomus.

Yeah he is gone. Not sure why you are getting upset my man.
