Speaking of Necas....
Not newsworthy, but the mental image made me laugh, so I thought I'd share it.
Speaking of Necas....
Carolina D
Hamilton (6.5 And in need of raise)
Slavin (4.75)
Pesce (4.25)
Gardiner (4)
Edmondson (4.something)
Skeji (5.25)
Vatanen (4.something)
TVR (2.75)
Fleury (1.something)
That’s a lot of work to do to compile a reasonably priced top 6D ..... but apparently there is no shortage of deals they won’t pursue. Should be interesting.
They will just let Edmundson and TVR walk; I still think Gardiner is moved this summer.
It all hinges on what decisions are made with Dougie and Vatanen.
I know this seems counter to most of Rod's tenure, but I think you'd see Fleury on that second pairing before Eddie.So what are we looking at for lines?
Svech - Aho - TT
Nino - Trocheck - Necas
Foegele - Staal - Williams
Dzingle - Marty - McGinn
Slavin - TVR
Skjei - Edmunson
Gardiner - Fleury
Fleury will get around 2 million for 2 years to carry him to UFA or he goes to Arb and becomes a UFA before the expansion draft.Carolina D

The new guy's in town. Welcome.
They are probably drunk.I’m not convinced those are actually Finns.
They’re standing WAY too close together.

I missed a few days so not sure if the STM ticket price increase was discussed, but here’s the deal:
- If your package is like mine, face value of the ticket will not increase.
- Nevertheless, the price you pay for them will increase by around 7%. This is because NC sales tax is no longer included in the face value. For example, a tax-inclusive $3000 package is now [$3000 + 7.25% = $3218].
- In addition, the number of regular season games covered drops from 42 to 41. This is because you will need to purchase Stadium Series tickets separately.
Effectively, actual prices are going up nearly 10% across the board while face values may stay the same or make minor increases. This is going to be important to remember on the re-sale market, where STMs are effectively taking a 10% hit.
A price increase was inevitable under the current market-demand. Just be very careful not to get sucked in to the mirage of “no increase”, particularly if you’re dependent on resales to cover costs, because the franchise is playing a bit of a shell game with the STM base by not announcing these changes clearly.
