Oof.

[SlavinAway]

That's long overdue.

 

[RABBIT]

Woah. Seems like peculiar timing to do a rsoter move..

 

[BonMorrison]

 

[Reaper45]

Seems like a nice guy but his game fell off a cliff.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Yikes.

 

[JT Kreider]

So they're rolling with McElhinney as their #1 goalie??

 

[trellaine201]

Wow did he sign that contract after his last good season? Lol

Tanked since.

Modified no trade clause as well.

 

[Taluss]

Anybody think he will get claimed?

 

[izzy]

jake allen scott darling swap

same contract

 

[Starat327]

Don't do it, Holmgren. Don't do it.

 

[Brunomics]

This is why maybeeeeeeeeeeee you don't sign goalies that have a 75 game sample size over three seasons. Oh and playing on a power house team that averaged almost 50 wins a season would definitely inflate those numbers of his.

 

[Brunomics]

Anybody think he will get claimed?

No, he cashed out and doesn't give a shit.

 

[BB88]

Carolina fans are having a party right now.

jake allen scott darling swap

same contract

As a Canes fan, my first thought is why not try it?

But it would be a more expensive buyout because of actual salary remaining ($9.2M for Allen, $7.1M for Darling.)

 

[ChaoticOrange]

McElhinney/Mrazek tandem?

 

[serp]

Signing backups from great teams to long-term deals can really bite you in the butt . Not the first time this happened and won't be the last time.

 

[Jerkob Slavin]

So they're rolling with McElhinney as their #1 goalie??

Until he breaks down. He's certainly earned the #1 spot with his performance.

 

[Chan790]

Goodbye terrible, inconsistent goalie with consistently awesome pad designs.

 

[pspot]

wow. is this another dubnyk?

 

[Prongo]

I could see him passing through waivers and then a trade involving him and another bad contract with a team

 

[CheMxDawG]

Goodbye terrible, inconsistent goalie with consistently awesome pad designs.

Terrible? Maybe

Inconsistent? Definitely

Awesome pads? You bet yer ass

He's got his money, I just hope he lands on his feet and doesn't fade away back into addiction.

Good luck Darlingbro

 

[admiralcadillac]

Mcelhinney made 48 saves in his last game, has Darling made 48 this year for Carolina?

 

[Chan790]

I could see him passing through waivers and then a trade involving him and another bad contract with a team

Like what? I'm open to that, but the scarcity of roster spots for goalies makes that seem unlikely unless we were taking back something truly awful.

Free Bojangles for life to the team that picks him up.
