[Canes]

Bear has been scratched for 3 games straight after there being rumors of contract extension negotiations with the Hurricanes earlier this season, and Chatfield extends first. Maeks u think.

Seriously though, Chatfield looked good before Omicron/injuries.

 

[Drew311]

Yay?

 

[Bubbles]

Thanks Jim!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid depth extension. Good on both sides.

 

[Bobby9]

Happy for him.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

Happy for him. So stupid Benning pissed away a rhd that can play on a top 5 team.

Chatfield sucked in Vancouver

He’s been good in Carolina

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

He’s been good in Carolina

That’s what happens when you have a good coach and good players.

 

[Siludin]

He’s been good in Carolina

Yeah he moves the needle 0% but if he plays on a team that's already good he can be carried.
He has zero offense and he's not going to shut down a top line unless he is paired with an ace.

 

[DaveG]

he looked capable in a bottom pair role earlier this year albeit not in a lot of games before he got hurt, at worst he should make a decent #7 next year

 

[innitfam]

Good that he turned it around but yeah as mentioned he was shite in Vancouver.

 

[krutovsdonut]

happy for this guy. he somehow got on the wrong side of travis green in vancouver.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Nothing special but definitely a decent filler RHD

 

[Jannik Hansen]

This guy looked absolutely terrible for the Canucks, but I'm happy for him that he's finding his game in the Canes organization.

 

[eviohh26]

Never saw it in him. Good for him though.

Everyone got on the wrong side of Green because he was a terrible coach.

His contract is a $765k cap hit so it can be completely buried in the A with no charge to Carolina. Next season is a 2 way deal. $225k in the A. Year 2 is a 1 way deal. But again, no cap charge to keep him in the A. Just costs the Canes money.

if he can carve out an Alex Biega career as a depth defender, who has made $5.2 mill per cap friendly over his pro career that’s good for him.

That's fine. He wasn't signed to provide offense or shut down top line. It's a 2 way deal that pays him the minimum at the NHL level; and he's signed for the AHL and as a depth guy when needed. If he's anywhere near the Canes top 4, it's because they've had a ton of injuries.

In his limited play in that role when the Canes were down a bunch of guys with Covid, he handled that role well.
