I’ve always thought of him as a more skilled but softer Lorentz. Better with the puck around the net, better touch but not as physical. I would presume he’s similar in comparison to Foegele, he’s maybe smarter offensively than Foegele. Foegele can’t play center. Again better with the puck. He’s never been the grinder before, he was the top center. Sounds like he. Needs to learn how to be the grinder to make the fourth line with us. Rod doesn’t want you unless you can be the fourth line guy first, unless you have the skill level to step right into a much higher role.

He'd be pretty high in the order of guys that might get the call if there's a good bit of changeover in our bottom 6 next year I'd imagine.
Martinook, Paquette, and McGinn are all UFAs, we might be able to afford bringing just one back unless they are willing to take contracts around their current salary.
If Francis throws us for a loop and takes say Geekie instead of Skjei or Bean, odds are Cotton would be the guy they call up and slot in to the 4th line since none of our other prospects that seem all that close really fit that role right now. And even then Cotton's not exactly the 4th line grinder type either.

just curious, as it has probably been discussed to death, but do we have any claim to tolchinsky at this point? his stock has risen considerably and he's currently producing at the worlds.

CapFriendly says he's UFA due to no QO. Looks like Canes chose to not keep his rights in the summer 2018.

Which NHL teams have drafted the best and worst since 2005?
The most interesting part of this article is the metric "Drafting after the 1st round". Just like I've stated a million times before, what makes our draft record so outstanding is this. Only Tampa has a better record at this than our team of scouts.

Yes. Being Loaned to KHL is nothing special in this regard, and having signed ELC at 18 and slided his first year, he's eligible to slide a second one.

That's awesome news as I think he's one of our more underrated prospects.

Keane is TBD. He has the right profile but he needs to succeed when given his shot.
Lorentz is the new replacement for whichever of McGinn, Martinook, Paquette, and/or Foegele leave. Rod played him over Geekie at every chance. He's already become a favorite and he plays Center. Capable of 10G/20A next year.

Lorentz is one of my favorite Canes now--a great story. I agree he is "capable" of those numbers. But given that McGinn has 30 points once in his career, Martinook topped out at 25, and Paquette at 24, I think Lorentz is likely to end up with something like 7g/11a. Good production given his solid play. The big question is will he get PK time in his second season.

Agreed. He’s got a chance. In my limited viewings he reminded me of Vlad Namestnikov. Or a slicker Andrei Nikolishin for any old school Whaler types.

Some Drury news, kinda:

I believe the bulk of the article is behind a paywall. But from translating the tweet, sounds like the thought is Drury will not play in the SHL next year We’ll see if he signs in North America, be it with the Canes or elsewhere.

I found another article not behind the paywall.
basically Drury is without a contract for next year and Vaxjo is waiting on him to make a decision. They believe he will not return and will come to North America. Doesn’t say anything else about where Jack ends up.

Gosh I hope we sign Drury. I would say he has a >50% chance of making the NHL squad outright. Especially if we don't re-sign 2 or 3 of Pacquette, Martinook, McGinn, Foegele.

I generally think we're worried about Jack for no reason. He's left college which was his way to UFA status, no? I would think the only reason for doing it was because he was going to sign with us. Our minor league team is in his hometown. I'm guessing he's waiting for everything about next season to be confirmed to a level he's happy with, so he can feel good about not going back to Sweden.
I don't think he has to be enrolled in college to go UFA. My understanding was that he just has to wait until his year of draftees would have graduated from college. So if he stays in Sweden playing professionally next year, then he can go UFA in August just the same as if he stayed at Harvard for four years.

Interesting. I wouldn’t thought he lost some aspect of the ncaa loophole by signing pro somewhere. I’ve never gone this far down this particular hole before.
That was my understanding as well. This offseason is the Adam Fox dilemma. I hope they can get Drury signed because he has arguably the highest floor of any of the Canes prospects. Cheap ELC bottom-6ers who play the right way are good for Cup windows.

Do you think RBA is willing to have a 4th line of
Lorentz - Drury - Geekie?

Yep. They only somewhat closed that part of the loophole that Van Ryn and others used, but only somewhat. We still would have had his rights but he would have had every opportunity to go UFA after those expire.
Yep. I'm sure he'd prefer to have a vet 4th liner on a cheap contract mixed in but he'd ice that kind of line in a second.
