Pretty sure the Canes said the other day they weren't doing phase 2 yet and guys would still train on their own. Not sure if that has changed yet.Do we know who is in town and who went to practice this week?
We have like 2 weeks of training camp until the season starts back up?
And this is not training camp. Last I heard training camp is phase 3 and might not be until August 1st.Do we know who is in town and who went to practice this week?

Carolina Hurricanes not reopening facilities for voluntary player workoutsDo we know who is in town and who went to practice this week?

While several teams planned to reopen their facilities for the players, the Carolina Hurricanes made the decision to wait. A team official said Monday that there were about seven or eight players in the area, but by mutual agreement they would continue to train on their own for now.
Was doing my normal trail walk in North Raleigh this morning with my Irish Doodle, and was crossing paths with a couple with two tall Goldendoodles. Was focused on their dogs as we were approaching each other because my dog gets excited at the sight of other dogs. Once I get close to the couple, I recognize the guy is Jacob Slavin!!! Let our dogs sniff each other momentarily. I say what’s up and wished him the best. Extremely nice. He’s tall and ripped. Definitely in shape.
Pretty much. I think I mentioned before that I passed Jordan Staal on the greenway a few weeks ago. Took me a minute to place him as well. Until I did, I just thought he was another guy out for a bike ride with his kids.You'd never know it but it's more than likely the average person living in a nice area of a town w/ sports town has come in contact with a pro athlete at least once and not realize it.
I saw Steve Smith (former Panthers receiver) at Harris Teeter about a year ago. I wasn't sure who he was at first but I knew he was someone I was familiar with and then it hit me. He is a lot shorter in person than one might think, and I'm just at 6 feet tall.
NHL dudes look like your average 20-30 something suburban/yuppie type outside their uniforms.

Carolina is considering three of its top prospects: forward Dominik Bokk (acquired in the Justin Faulk trade), Jake Bean (the AHL’s Outstanding Defenceman this year) and fellow blueliner Joey Keane (AHL All-Rookie Team).
Why not? We get to expand the roster, and the AHL won't be playing. Even if they don't wind up in many games, you're going to want to get your top prospects ice time in case you need them to fill in for injuries, and just getting them into NHL practices is an unambiguously good thing for their development overall.I’d be pretty shocked if Bokk would be hanging around camp
Rod has said he doesn’t want to clog the ice. We already have 8 defenders with 13 forwards, not including Pesce. I would expect Bean and, maybe, Keane to be added. If. If, another forward is added it is Bishop, not Bokk.Why not? We get to expand the roster, and the AHL won't be playing.
