I think that line is successful because they sacrifice it all for the grind. If offense comes from it then great but it’s not the expectation nor is it the need. It’s not TT’s game. Rod doesn’t really expect scoring from them.

I think that might have been the result but not necessarily the expectation. You can see some of that in the increase in Nookie's scoring. But when Nino was on that line, he was indeed the designated scorer. That line was all about cycle, cycle, cycle, Nino pop out to the slot and shoot, cycle, cycle, cycle...rinse and repeat.

I do agree that Rod was likely happy with the defensive results regardless, but I don't think he would have sacrificed opportunistic scoring for pure defense...

If the cap does go up as expected, the value of all contracts might change very quickly.

Personally, I believe this is a bit of a misconception, especially next season. Take a look at the pending UFAs/RFAs and most teams have big contracts to consider. The suspected contenders more so. In the end, the rising cap does mostly raise all boats, but the speedboats get raised a bit more. Austin Matthews is going to eat a lot of cap space. Stamkos and Hagel are going to eat a bunch of cap space. Devon Toews is going to eat a good chunk of cap space. Going down roster after roster, this seems to be particularly true for the usual suspects.

Any one else bothered by the non level photo in the background?

Very first thing I saw and it was driving me nuts…. And honest I’m not ocd at all…. But for whatever reason that bugged me a lot.. I think it was how much the guys voice and speech patterns were aggravating me as well so the whole thing was making me so happy for our small little media group here in nc…

The unvelel photo in the back ground is a big brain strategy to get people to NOT ask you to turn on video in remote meetings as it will drive them up the wall.

Or he's brain-gaming his opponents in video negotiations.

Being ruthless with the salary cap and being unsentimental about roster moves is precisely why the Canes are set up to contend for a decade+. There's no need whatsoever to change their stripes just because the cap is going up, though one thing that may change is that previously capped out clubs may no longer need to dump cap space for the same rate of return as in the past.

"one thing that may change is that previously capped out clubs may no longer need to dump cap space for the same rate of return as in the past.'

I suspect they will get a 2 year or so relief but then will be back to their profligate spending ways and be in trouble again.
