Glad he took advantage of the Paid Time Off and got a real boy contract.

 

[HisIceness]

Ah yeah we getting the band back together baby! Stepan next please

 

[Wolfpuck]

He's a real boy now!

 

[MadeUpName]

Bye bye Bear?

CDH-Bear is a solid 3rd pair but Coghlan gives them a different look.

Great story that proves that fans like us know nothing about the behind the scenes. Excited that he's back in a Canes uniform.

I mean, the player was visibly and publicly quite annoyed at how it all went down when it did. Time, and winning, can heal many wounds.

CDH-Bear is the pairing today so you’d think if they’d already made the decision to move on from Bear they would be trying CDH with Chatfield or Coghlan.

I have a feeling they’ll try to sneak Chatfield through waivers to start the year and roll with the other 7.

This right here.

 

[Tryamw]

I still think he is one of our best 6 defenders atm...

Not to mention having limited options elsewhere. Suddenly the cup contender canes don’t look so bad.

 

[MinJaBen]

Now that we signed him…..we’ll trade him again.

assuming stasny makes it, do we have room for stepan?

still need a 13th forward and he filled that role nicely last year. Basically between him and Noesen.

The lesson is that in sports, winning games is the best way to cure ills.

Stastny is going to be on the roster. He's not on a PTO. The Canes signed him to a $1.5M contract ($2.0M with performance bonuses), guaranteed at the NHL and AHL level. There's almost no chance he doesn't make it.

Agreed. I have Noesen penciled in for 4th line ahead of Stepan. who knows.

Stepan is the only righty they have who can win a faceoff. I’ll be surprised if he’s not signed soon.

I don't think I'd pencil him in. My guess at top 12 without Patches:

TT-Aho-Jarvis
Svech-KK-Necas
Kase/Stastny-Staal-Fast
Kase/Stastny-Drury-Martinook

So the rest of the guys are likely fighting for 13th/14th forward. Maybe one of them supplants Drury, but I don't think the odds are that high.

If that’s how it pans out you’d have to think Stepan gets a contract

Yeah, won't surprise me if he does get one.

 

[bleedgreen]

Coglan and Bear can rotate. Maybe all three. We’ll have injuries.

 

[Daeavorn]

I think this move solidifies our defense. The last time we went to the ECF was with CDH. I really like the idea of him and cogs as our 3rd pair.

With our defense finally possessing three solid lines we can focus on scoring goals

 

[Sigurd]

CDH-Bear is a solid 3rd pair but Coghlan gives them a different look.

Agreed. It's an exciting pair IMO. Great depth for our blue line.

 

[mikeyfan]

What would the Nucks be willing to pay for Bear? 3rd? Could the Canes squeeze a 2nd out of them? Or maybe a 5th or 6th to go with the 3rd. Or will they settle for a 4th?
