Checkers IV: Insert Witty Title Here

[Navin R Slavin]

We can't go into next season with Darling in the organization. Just can't do it, for both parties sake.

Make him give the money back.

This might be Sara's best article yet about the Canes and it's about the Checkers. Tons of great content in the article. I am very glad she is covering the Canes.

Checkers not doing so hot lately, only 9 points ahead after a 5-3 loss...Booth stopped 7 of 10, Darling came in and stopped 8 of 10 (that's right, we let in a goal every 4 shots). Booth definitely hasn't been as good since returning from the ECHL (shouldn't be surprised)

They were victorious in Hahtfahd tonight

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Bean scored his ninth

Fleury score his first

Saarela also score twice to get up to fifteen goals on the season

 

[Vagrant]

poturalski has done everything possible to get called up. it would be cool to get a look at him before the year is over.

 

[CandyCanes]

Impressive stretch of hockey for Jake Bean

 

[DougieSmash]

Bean could make Fleury expendable very soon.

Meh, he’s trending down

Bean is going to score his first NHL goal before Fleury, isn't he?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Meh, he’s trending down

Canes showed they have no faith in Bean by signing de Haan.

Also, Pesce is a ld.

poturalski has done everything possible to get called up. it would be cool to get a look at him before the year is over.

His AHL salary is $70k, he's guaranteed $85k so the difference would pay about four days of his $700k NHL salary anyway. But, after TDL there's limited amount of call-ups so it would have to be now.

Also, he seems to be UFA at 25 courtesy of Group 6 Free Agent rules: 25+ of age, has played 3 pro seasons, got less than 80 NHL games.

Fluery will score his first NHL goal against us

Sweet, I hope we got something good for him when that happens.

An agreement that Seattle doesn't take CDH?

You're quite the optimist. A couple years is a long time. Perhaps we'll pay them Fleury to take de Haan.

 

[QuebeCaniac]

Anyone thinks Necas will stay in Charlotte all year so we don’t have to protect him in the expansion draft?

 

[A Star is Burns]

If he stays all year, I think I'll be because they don't think he's ready or would benefit from playing in the NHL at this point in time. I don't think it'll be because of the expansion draft. I'd like to see him back up this year to assess where he's at headed into next year.

I don't know about the draft--but if he plays more NHL games then he is up for a new contract a year sooner. My guess is the team is trying not to have Svechnikov and Necas due at the same time.

They obviously could have reevaluated after the way things went, but they clearly weren't concerned with that to start the year.

Agreed, they pretty much went into the season expecting him to be the #3 center.

The contract negotiations are a two-way road, though. If I as an agent was feeling that my player was unwarrantedly kept down and I was being dwindled out of my own percentage, I would bring it to the team's attention that the unjustly lost money will be sought to be recovered in the following RFA contract.

The teams are really more concerned of the Accrued Seasons for UFA purposes (42+ games) than the 10 game limit, and it also sounds like a bad policy to annoy your expected future superstar by gaming his contract to your own benefit and his harm. Them boys are kind of competitive and proud, and would take it badly if they felt they got snubbed in the call-ups and a lesser guy was recalled instead.
