Confirmed with Link: Carolina sign Ryan Dzingel - 3.375 x 2

[CanesFanBudMan]

I guess speed is the name of the game.

 

[Primetime8]

The Canes missing piece was a 400 point guy. I'm thinking if we had him and his 5 ppg in the ECF we would have beat Boston.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Yeah I didn’t realize he only played 11 games last year. Hoping with his talent level he can stay healthy for us!

He played 78 games last year... or did I get whooshed?

Turning the "5ppg" in Mike's tweet into points per game instead of power play goals.

 

[MinJaBen]

This board is part of the GMBC and we don't even know it.

GMBoardChoices.

We know it.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Yes! What a great way to start off my day!
Love this.

 

[DaveG]

Damn, great signing for both value and term here. If Williams is back as well we're clearly all-in.

 

[GoldiFox]

Roughly 100% of Dzingle's offense comes off the rush or attacking the crease. For a smaller guy he is always at the net.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I like it. Reasonable term and AAV for a solid middle six, if not top six contributor.

That makes this the second year in a row that we've gotten a UFA with some name recognition to move here. The times, they are a-changin'. Hopefully we don't crap on his heart next year.

Wonder if this means anything about Williams' chances of playing another year.

[Drivebytrucker]

For the same money I'd rather have Ferland.

SAID NO CANES FAN EVER

 

[Canes]

Very nice. Gotta wonder what this means about Williams though. McGinn is probably gone too.

 

[GoldiFox]

For the same money I'd rather have Ferland.

SAID NO CANES FAN EVER

For the same money I take Ferland 10/10 times. For 2 years on Dzingle vs. 4 years on Ferland for the same money I take Dzingle by a small margin.

 

[Zezima]

I bet we get Williams retirement announcement next week

 

[Lurk Muller]

Well that's nice.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

More skill is always good.

With Aho, TT, NN, Svech, Staal, Haula, and Dzingel that gives us 3 lines that should be able to produce offensively while being able to work rookie(s) in without stifling them offensively

You crazy dude

Still around 7.75M in cap space left if Gibbons is in the AHL (which I expect). Only signings left to make are Fleury, Forsling, Saku, and McGinn. Should be less than 5M total spent on those 4, and Williams can take a 1 year performance bonus heavy deal which pushes those bonuses on to next years cap... which basically fills some of the Marleau buyout that comes off the books.

Canes are spenders this year and making serious moves to roll an extremely deep forward group... what a time to be alive.

 

[AD Skinner]

Would like this more if we knew it was in addition to Williams and not in place of. That's not in the borg's hands though and totally love the move from their end. I still think he'll be back for one more year

 

[The Faulker 27]

This. I like it.

 

[bobc222]

Awesome. Should be 40ish points in the bank. Another lefty though- I know they cant just sit around waiting on williams to make a decision but I definitely want him back if for no other reason than to have a righty in case necas isn't quite ready.

EDIT Heck even if he isn't the forwards are getting crowded... off the top of my head

Nino-Aho-TT
Dzingel-Haula-Svechnikov
Williams(?)-Staal-Foegele
Necas-Martinook-McGinn(?)

EDIT again and I totally forgot Wallmark

We will either have Necas in Top 6 or in Charlotte. No reason to waste his talent on the fourth line getting 0 minutes. No chance that happens.

Does this mean we can stop hand wringing over whether Dundon is willing to spend to compete?

Necas better come to camp ready to play.

He has to beat guys out to make this team. No freebies
