How nice.

How nice.

Smart fella.

6'3", plays with an edge, young, hungry, cheap as hell. There is nothing about this signing I don't like.

 

[whiskers]

Andersen may well have been playing hurt, though. I want to see more after the Canes decide that he's actually ready before being so decisive.

hes been hurt b4 last playoffs and there was talks he began the season still hurting from that injury , ffs if he hasnt healed since this off season dont friggin re sign , i watched many Make Me Laughs games enough to see he sucked , only advantage is his size , also saw Gardiner and was force to watch Sens and Habs games so i knew in advance that Paquette , Galneychuck ,Dzingel , Koko (i think he still plays good just has bad luck) and now Patches , he will be avr at best , nowhere to be seen in playoffs or injured and poof gone next year.
So coming back to Andersen , i will be very mad and miserable next year if we resign him

I really like Pyotr, not completely sold on him yet but hard to critique this contract. If he’s Scott Darling you can bury him in the minors without much financial penalty. He might even just go back to Russia voiding the contract altogether in that case. If he’s actually even 1b material, it’s a steal

[AD Skinner]

Maybe he was "shaken up" like really emotional, then got up and started drinking liquor about it. We've all been there

 

[Chrispy]

I love this move to let Kochetkov develop and see what he is at a reasonable salary if he can't take the starting job.

I dont like next years UFA crop much. Varlamov will be 35. Quick will be 37. Andersen will only be 33, they may continue with him.

If Samsonov looks good in Toronto I doubt they let him test the market. Tristan Jarry and Nedeljkovic may be the best UFA options under 30.

Regarding Raanta's possible injury, hey Gophers: got any more of them senior goalies?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Who is next man up from Chicago?

 

[CanesUltimate11]

That seems like a big gamble on Bob who is having a bad year so far. I get that Florida’s defence sucks but still. I’m also unsure of what kind of assets they even have left to send our way.

I’d steer well clear of Bob.

At this point I think they'd have to send us Lundell with Bob.

If we could just find a way to clone 2009 Cam Ward we'd be good to go

Varlamov likely cheaper than Freddie and although older, more durable.

 

[Canes]

Scott Darling literally broke me so much that I stopped volunteering my services for multiple teams for a few years when I was my teams' go to starter/back up.

Ok, maybe that's a bit dramatic and it had to due to with having a young kid but he literally destroyed my passion for goaltending for a bit.

 

[HisIceness]

Remember when Darlings sister whined about nearly everything regarding the Hurricanes on Twitter? Good times. Yeah no shit Sherlock, Raleigh isn't like Chicago.

 

[Sigurd]

It would be a risky plan A, but if Pyotr works out as starter and we can find a cheap 1b/backup this clears up some cap space for 4 years for an acquisition at forward.

That's the ideal situation.

Sounds too good to be true IMO. I can't help but think we'll get a starter for next season, and obviously he'll be more expensive than us getting a back up to Pyotr.

Category 5: Hurricanes sign Pyotr Kochetkov to an extension​

Brind’Amour also offered a tongue-in-cheek assessment of how the deal got done.

“He wouldn’t have signed a four-year deal,” Brind’Amour said with a smirk, “if he wasn’t popular with the coach. … I feel pretty confident that we’ve got a good one there.”

 

[Discipline Daddy]

At this point I think they'd have to send us Lundell with Bob.

Yeah I can't fathom why we keep this narrative going. Bob is a hugely negative asset for one year, let alone the three years after this one. I'd take Anton Lundell of course because he's awesome, but other than that, MichaelScottno.gif.

My best guess is we re-sign Reimer next year for 2 years or so. Probably a downgrade in talent from Andersen/Rants but damnit they can't stay healthy.

 

[Chrispy]

Varlamov likely cheaper than Freddie and although older, more durable.

Not something I thought I’d ever hear about Varlamov.

Varlamov last played 50 games in 2017-18. For all the complaints about Andersen, 50 has been a pretty stable floor of games played outside of 20-21.

Can't be mad at that.

Or can we ?

I'm sure there are 2 posters that will find a way.

I'm sure there are 2 posters that will find a way.

But which two?

No comment.

Is this before or after we sign Saku Manaleenan to a 1 year deal?

Not something I thought I’d ever hear about Varlamov.

Varlamov last played 50 games in 2017-18. For all the complaints about Andersen, 50 has been a pretty stable floor of games played outside of 20-21.

It’s what have you done for me lately though. Varlamov has been healthy with NYI, just playing behind Sorokin. Freddie missed a lot of 2 seasons ago, the stretch run last year and is out right now. I’d be more confident about Varly’s health than Freddie’s next year.
