I'm glad there isn't a dislike button for what I'm about to say. I wish the Caps Lock @MrazeksVengeance didn't make a comeback.

IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU, BUT I RESPECT YOUR DISLIKE ON THE GROUND OF GOING AGAINST THE FLOW.

TORONTO - The Canes' roster features the maximum of 31 players, including 16 forwards, 11 defensemen and four goalies.
Included on the roster is defenseman Brett Pesce, who remains sidelined after undergoing surgery in the spring. His recovery time of four to six months puts him in position for a potential September return, though he is not currently with the team.
"He's on track for what was supposed to happen, I think, so that's still a ways away," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "There are a lot of factors you have to weigh out on this."
Forwards: Sebastian Aho, Clark Bishop, Ryan Dzingel, Warren Foegele, Morgan Geekie, Steven Lorentz, Jordan Martinook (A), Max McCormick, Brock McGinn, Martin Necas, Nino Niederreiter, Jordan Staal (C), Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen, Vincent Trocheck, Justin Williams
Defensemen: Jake Bean, Joel Edmundson, Haydn Fleury, Jake Gardiner, Dougie Hamilton, Roland McKeown, Brett Pesce, Brady Skjei, Jaccob Slavin (A), Trevor van Riemsdyk, Sami Vatanen
Goalies: Anton Forsberg, Petr Mrazek, Alex Nedeljkovic, James Reimer

So the Keane and Suzuki camp invites were extended camp only invites. Now they tap Bishop and McKeown.

hopefully it makes them more ready for next season.

'KIN 'ELL. SVECH IS STILL NOT ADULT BY US LAW. DO THEY PLAY IN TORONTO?

Solid breakdown of the matchup by Dom this morning on the Athletic.

Dougie being out is worth 7 winning percentages. Went from 59 to 52 (the 2nd closest).

CAR D is definitely a few notches lower without Hamilton/Pesce...very astute observation there.

Vatanen is a poor replacement for Hamilton when looking through an analytics lense.

Gardiner should be played more. He’s top pairing material, just unlucky with CAR.

NYR bottom 6 sucks, may cost them the series.

CAR “3rd line” of Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas is one of the strongest in the league.

Well the Dougie point was the big highlight from the article.

Basically the top lines are a wash.

Then Panarin basically carries a game scored value added (GSVA) value that is only slightly less than lines 2-4 for the Hurricanes.
Canes easily outmatch bottom 6.
Canes easily outmatch the defensive pairs. BUT..... The Rangers are 4th in goals and 12th in save percentage. Canes are 18th in goals and 24th in SV percentage. That includes a league worst save percentage and 2nd worst in goals over the last 25 games. (how we didnt improve on goal tending in the off season is beyond me).

Skjei and Edmundson is a below average pairing for GSVA. Not good for a 2nd pairing at all.

Gardiner had "bad luck" all year with a terrible sv% and bad shooting %. I get the numbers say he is unlucky but the eye ball says he contributes to the problem.

And you take out Williams and added Vatanen and we go close to the youngest.
