Tweet deleted. What did it say?

Andrew Weiss confirmed on that tweet that Priskie's agreed to sign with the Canes, and that the announcement will be tomorrow.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Hopefully it goes through, but not ideal that he deleted it.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Thanks: wonder why it was deleted? Good news if true.

 

[Sam Spade]

So Pesce, Hamilton, van Reimsdyk, Faulk, what two are gone to make room for Priske?

 

[spockBokk]

Well it was hinted at by Civ and Chris Peters...we’ll see...

Pardon

 

[Sam Spade]

Pardon

Aren't all Faulk and TVR right handed D men? Seriously, I just looked it up was wondering.

Also, I realize Pesce and Hamilton aren't going anywhere.

Yup, they are. So are Pesce and Hamilton. They may trade TVR now, though, but we'll see.

Oh ok. Well Pesce played left side this year so maybe you just try and figure out who can do what. Talent usually prevails.

not sure this should be 'confirmed with link' when the link is a deleted tweet

I will move it to rumor.

Pesce played LH side. Faulk and TVR are Ufas in a year: Canes best d prospects are LHD ( fleury, Bean, Sellgren)

 

[Canes]

I hope it's true but it would definitely be odd given how there are other suitors with less depth/competition and how the best NCAA ufa to sign with us was like... Jeremy Welsh. Perhaps the allure of being a jerk is too strong.

Perhaps the Canes had the advantage in being the very first team to express any interest in him. In fact, the first time any hockey fans outside of DC had ever heard of him was after the Canes were rumored to covet him.

Dundon has had a fixation with the Canes losing out on Torey Krug ever since he bought the team. Combine that with the Canes general fixation on why Jaccob Slavin is such a monster out of the 4th round and Hobey Baker finalist Adam Fox refusing to sign with the Canes and I can see why the Canes made a strong push for Priskie.

I had no idea who Priskie was before the Canes reportedly had interest. But he seems like a high-IQ RHD with a knack for scoring goals. I like the move (if it happens) to add some competition for Faulk's possible departure.

"Big if True"

There's an expansion draft looming. The team is in a vulnerable position with regards to the defense. The GM of that expansion team did not leave on good terms. Fleury or Bean to Seattle is on the horizon. Add in the upcoming free agent dates for Faulk, van Riemsdyk and Hamilton, and the depth in the system is going to be challenged shortly.

Chase Priskie is clearly drawn to the deep-rooted Jewish community in North Carolina

But Torey Krug signed with the Bruins 8 years ago...

Does Dundo even know who Krug is? And if so, did he before the playoffs?

True. What the Borg could do is make a stealth move next offseason and trade Jordan Staal to a team like Pittsburgh to get rid of the NMC Lucic-style. Then they can protect all of the important guys. Still, that's a hard move to pull off successfully, but if Holland could move Lucic of all contracts, Staal's NMC shouldn't be as big of a hurdle to deal with considering that he still is a very good player.

I've heard Dundon mention Krug at least a couple times in interviews and team videos in reference to him attending Canes camp as a college UFA, leaving unsigned, and going to Boston. It's the same line of thinking as drafting a guy like Slavin - "How do we identify these talents that slip through the cracks?"

There was a pretty extensive behind the scenes Athletic article before/during/after the 2018 draft where I believe he brought up missing out on Krug.

He can take one guy.
