News Article: News & Notes XXXIII: hockey pending

[Chrispy]

Rod has said he doesn’t want to clog the ice. We already have 8 defenders with 13 forwards, not including Pesce. I would expect Bean and, maybe, Keane to be added. If. If, another forward is added it is Bishop, not Bokk.

They are going to need to find ways to get 4 goalies ice time already. Put together 5th and 6th lines to keep Ned and Forsberg fresh and they will get some ice time even if it's after practice.
10 D (I still don't expect Pesce) with Bean and Keane still leaves room for 18 forwards.

I'm a little surprised Suzuki isn't getting mentioned just to get him some extra time with the big club as well. I expect we will see a shortened training camp next year to fit everything in, so now is the time to get a glimpse at some kids like Bokk and Suzuki.

Agreed, this is as good a time as any to bring Bokk over, see what he looks like and determine if next year would be better spent in Europe or North America.

Also, do not rush Pesce back. You have 8 capable defenseman without him. Let him heal, unless he’s really really ready.

What are the educated guesses on the start of the play-in/play-off series anyway?

I think getting the guys in shape for a playoff run we weren’t positive we were going to have this year is going to be the overwhelming priority to Rod over seeing kids he has no intention of using. The whole point is winning a cup, and this team prioritizes that over prospects for sure. Training camp is exactly the situation where you check out new kids. That’s where you earn a job whether it’s short or not, especially under Rod. We have scouts that know pretty much where the kids are.

I’m not saying I completely agree, but this falls in line with Rod in general. I could see us carrying the max through the early season next year if a couple of kids play well enough to warrant longer looks.

Start of August would be my guess

 

[A Star is Burns]

I saw somewhere yesterday they were thinking about 2 weeks training camp at home bases and roughly a week in the bubble to finish up and play the exhibition games. We'll see if that ends up being the case. That would put the start at the beginning of August.

Too cute!

 

[hblueridgegal]

Can’t blame the Europeans for waiting until the absolute last minute to return.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Easy like Sunday morning

 

[hblueridgegal]

Gotta take a listen

 

[GoldiFox]

Where have the Hurricanes gone and what will training look...

Per Sara's latest article, the players who have stayed in Raleigh throughout the break are: Williams, Staal, Slavin, Svechnikov, Hamilton, and Trocheck (also TVR/McGinn/Dzingle in spurts).

Most of these have been posted but it is interesting/nice to see Trocheck and Hamilton sticking around. I guess Trocheck is getting settled in after the move. Dougie sticking around the facilities is a positive for his recovery and potential contract extension.

You mean... the one year's moratorium is coming just up, and he's weaseling out?

 

[ClarkBolzano]

Is there any information how the Canes players trained during lock down? ....how did Svech train for example?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Svech dicked around with a tennis ball at a local mall

 

[HisIceness]

He is better at that than I am.

 

[Vagrant]

Now I want to see Foegele try.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Now I want to see Foegele try.

Jokes on you, he's so fast that given enough space he'd be perfectly capable to do that.

If enough space meant a football field.

 

[hblueridgegal]

a nice mix

 

[Negan4Coach]

In the past if you wanted to find Canes players just go to the whole foods off Six Forks.

Anywhere in North Hills is a pretty likely spot to see them. And you can take your kids to trick or treat at Aho's house on Halloween.

 

[Novacane]

Nice!*

Leo Komarov and Mikael Granlund are organizing a charter flight to NY for Finns in NHL this Friday. Nothing certain yet though, the quarantines are a bit iffy.

Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teräväinen, Markus Nutivaara, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Roope Hintz and Esa Lindell, if you need to know.
