Confirmed with Link: Calvin de Haan back in Raleigh for a PTO

[Wolfpuck]

Well well well, how the turn tables.

More like "I'll pass to my canes teammates"

 

[Svechhammer]

Example: if you happen to be playing a game in which Rod Brind'Amour is the coach, you probably include Martinook on the 4th line and scratch someone like Necas.

Look, the odds of Kase being healthy for the playoffs are long. Just let us dream of him being able to play for a bit, ok?

 

[bleedgreen]

Very happy he’s getting a chance with us. He may not have much left in the tank but he won’t fail for a lack of effort. One of my favorite defenseman in the last decade for us, and when he first arrived he was one of a very small number of solid ufa’s to choose to sign with us and be happy to be here. Imo the door is always open for this guy to be part of the team.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

wut wow ok

Now… back to 2019, to tell everyone that Dzingel and CDH will still be paying dividends for the Canes in 2022! They’ll think I’m a genius!

 

[HisIceness]

Look if Dzingel came back anyone can. Hell we even have Stepan back. What's Alexi Salarra up to these days?

I'm happy to have CDH back though and never liked moving him. He's always been a solid guy to have in the lineup. Can hold his own nicely too. Can he crack the roster? We'll see but I'm rooting for him.

Honestly if anyone is expecting the CDH that was on the Canes before, be prepped for disappointment...he definitely hasn't looked as good lately as he did then. That said, can't hurt on 3rd pairing really (if he plays like poo, we've got some depth guys who could work). Also, we may need to change our names to the CaroLTIRa Hurricanes...Patches, Kase, CDH, Gards. Plus, it's a PTO, we may very well have been the only offer and it's a chance for him to show other teams as well that he's still got enough for a contract, no guarantee PTO = SPC with us (same with Stepan)

Someone finally let it slip to Dundon that the contracts get picked up by insurance.

I think these recent turn of events with Dzingel/De Haan truly shows that us fans actually know nothing about the behind-the-scenes (though the Dzingel signing is more about the Wolves).

CDH has slowed some because of shoulder injuries, though one reason for optimism for improvement in future play is that he hasn't had a major knee or hip injury. Also, sometimes players play poorly on shitty teams because, well, there's not all that much to actually play for. Carolina's come a long way as an organization since CDH's first stint here, back when we were legitimately an upstart.

Somewhere in Russia Alex Semin is dusting off his hockey gear and looking at plane tickets costs to Raleigh to get some of that sweet PTO moneys.

Are cigs cheaper here?

Back in 2019:

"...****"

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

On the same day that DeKeyser signs one in Vancouver. Interesting timing.

I though Semin GOT DRAFTED.

 

[raynman]

I though Semin GOT DRAFTED.

Considering how he played for the Canes I’d say the Ukrainians are safe

 

[HisIceness]

Dude wants a paycheck and probably a chance at a cup. You can swallow some hurt feelings for those, I think.

Exactly.

Look the front office most likely didn't want to trade CDH in the first place but they couldn't let Aho go either. The business of Hockey is an ever-changing landscape.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Time for my favorite Critic gag ever, because I could not have foreseen this:

That show was a goddamn masterpiece.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

JFresh says he’s real good

@JackFr This true?

I would have rather rolled the dice with a 1 year 750K on Ryan Murray. CDH is Done with a capital D.

Well, currently the Canes are rolling the dice on CDH for $0, so.

I watched Murray plenty last year and didn't see anything particularly special. I think they're choosing a guy they know, a guy that's been in the system, and one they don't have to commit anything to. And, if they don't see a guy that will work out, they will probably be perfectly content to go with some combination of Coghlan, Bear, Lajoie, and Chatfield on the bottom pair until the deadline.

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

CDH is probably pretty comfortable with the beer scene here. Very short learning curve.

 

[Vagrant]

players have self awareness of their own play. he probably knew he wasn't playing up to his contract here and knew that something might happen. we liked him, but we didn't like him at his number. I like the move. I think that he'll be a stabilizing presence for bear and coghlan as they try to figure that 3rd pairing out. my belief is they want offense out of that RD slot on the 3rd pair.
