NHL ready?

NHL ready?

He likely wouldnt have signed with them unless he was gonna make the opening night roster

Does CAR really need another highly-regarded Dman?

In 20-21, they will. They won’t be re-signing both TVR and Faulk. We’ll see if one of them now get traded.

Also Priskie, if he’s lives up to his billing, might make them not feel like they have to re-up Hamilton in 2yrs when his deal is up.

So he signs with a team where he'll have a more difficult time cracking the roster?

Okay.

 

[Rokker]

Pesce playing on the left I guess? What does their D look like if he starts with them?

Okay.

Or goes to place where outstanding defensemen are developed... Dumoulin is aces out in Pittsburgh

 

[Mickey Marner]

What a time to be alive.

Excited to see Priskie on the Canes. I like what I've read. Hopefully between Priskie, Fleury, and Bean one of them can supplant Faulk and save the team $6+ million moving forward.

On no planet will a 21 year old college FA make Dougie Hamilton expendable in a couple years. At best you are looking at a Danny Dekeyser, but I would expect even less than that based off of how these free wallet college players usually turn out. Worth the gamble, obviously.

Low Risk, High Reward type move. I’d suspect the group moving forward would be Slavin, Pesce, Bean, Hamilton, and maybe one of the two aforementioned players, right? They have Honka in the pipeline too.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the lack of NHL spots (or lack of a guarantee) the reason Fox left?

We’ll gladly take one off your hands!

 

[sansabri]

Damn you, Canes.

When your organization proves its skill in developing a position, it becomes that much more attractive to young players playing that position. Good signing for them and zero risk.

 

[Ruutu Tootoo]

Will help in the expansion draft since he isn’t eligible to be picked.

I’ll preface this with saying I’m a little bitter he left the Caps organization but I just don’t fully understand the move. He pretty much had the exact same situation with Washington, who more likely than not walks away from Gudas next offseason for monetary reasons.

No. Going back to school was.

Then he got lost switching trains at Penn Station.

Im sure its part of it.... also he wanted to be a Ranger apparently.

But I mean its not as if Slavin, Hamilton, Pesce are going to be there forever. Rosters change all the time.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Meh. Nothing special IMO. Might be a decent 2nd pair dman but I guess for the cost of FREE that's pretty good.

Maybe he sees a veteran roster in Washington and would rather play on a younger and more up and coming roster? Just speculating. Caps are still the better team right now though imo.

Could also just like Raleigh. I actually really like the city. Young professional vibe.
