I think in a perfect world the canes will try and ride this lineup out until close to the deadline and then try to acquire a winger to slot in roslovic’s spot. Roslovic is a bit of a tweener between second and third line but if you could add someone and bump him down to the 4th line that would be ideal. That second line is gonna need a added scoring threat imo

That's almost-certainly the plan of action from the Canes this season. They can deal with a bit of an offensive shortcoming until the trade deadline as long as their defense is humming like this. Once they have the reserved cap space, I expect another blockbuster February trade.

Well, based on just this game, the Devils seemed to block a lot more shots than they have in the past. Seemed like every offensive chance the Canes had in the first ended up on someone's shin or leg.
Obviously, the development of Hughes and Bratt, as well as Dougie being healthy, also made them much more dangerous in transition, though for the most part, the Canes did a good job of stifling that.
And Markstrom is obviously a much better goalie than any of the ones you had in the past few years.

I think the bottom six is great so far this year, really like how they’ve come out. Robinson made a good play on Blake’s goal, wish he could get an assist but that line was noticeable all game. Staal’s line was pretty dominant all night. Necas seemed to be getting it going but the top six doesn’t quite have chemistry going yet.
It’s a win. Moving on. Ghost and Walker had some great offensive moments.

Would love a deadline trade similar to the Nino/Trocheck deals where we can bring in a top 6 LW with term or their upcoming deal is RFA so that it’s not an issue that needs addressing in the summer. Moving on from and finding a quality replacement for KK (sorry kid) should be our number one priority this summer and not having to worry about multiple top 6 moves at once would prevent a major headache.
