I don't think the geek was posting here when he was 3

He's just advanced for his age

If it wasn't for this man, our franchise would have been on the outside looking in regarding playoff positioning prior to Covid shutdown. Not that it ended up mattering anyway, but still.

I like this cat. I hope he sticks around and does well.

I think the 4th line, perhaps this year, is Lorentz-Drury -Geekie, assuming neither winger is claimed by Seattle. Geekie may be better suited on a scoring focused line but he's not top 6 ready. This 4th line combo is interesting since Geekie provides a scoring element and Lorentz is such a good skater and heavy on the puck. Intriguing to me.

I’d give up a lot to be 22 year old Geekie.

I don’t think he’s the guy we lose, and I’m happy about that. Slow skater or not he’s homegrown and works hard.

“There has been a lot going on this summer with the Expansion Draft, and the Canes had a lot of big-name guys out there, but it was really nice to get this done,” Geekie told Game On. “Carolina has been good to me, and despite it being a little bit of an unorthodox past two seasons, it’s been a really good experience. It’s all about going out there and doing your best to help the team and just trying to keep getting better every day.”

From the article, he comes across as a very sensible guy...Hope the Canes get to hold on to him.

I could see Geekie being a guy to hang around at the 3rd and 4th line for a few years, have a good year, and hit free agency. Kind of like Brock McGinn will probably do, but obviously with different skillsets. I have to say, I really value players who don't mind putting in the time at the AHL level and being foot soldiers to earn their place. I'm very comfortable going into 21'-22' with some holes in the bottom 6, expecting them to be filled by Geekie, Lorentz, Rees, Drury, and the like. I always think there should be at least one forward and one defense spot open for the taking each year.
