30 goals and Selke-lite play with those injuries for most of the year? WTF. Kid's a monster

That recovery method only works when they're not on ELC contracts so that their team can abuse LTIR space. I thought that bit of medical science was common knowledge.Trade this bum. Padding his personal regular season stats for salary and glory while the guys on the real championship teams know better to wait their miracle healing until the day one of the playoffs.

Yeah I mean out fanbase should probably grow up and sucker punch people in the parking lot instead of internet trollingWhile the twitter antics is not my cup of tea, I really DGAF. If some fans in NY don't like us because of the Canes Twitter is being obnoxious, it has zero impact on me and my fandom. If Fans in NY think negatively on our fanbase because of it, it has zero impact on me as most of them think negatively about us anyhow.
PK, FA and Martin are under contract next season. Raanta likely goneSo Necas, Kotchetkov, Raanta and Martin didn’t have player exit interviews. The two latter goalies probably didn’t have much to be interviewed about, and I imagine neither are returning next year. Necas went straight to Worlds, so that explains some of it, though with rumors of his departure from the organization, it may have just been to avoid messy questions.
PK not doing an exit interview might just be because of his poor English. I hope that’s the reason, because it’d be real bad if he feels slighted or holds a grudge about his lack of playtime in the playoffs.
Martin is signed, but it’s doubtful he’s in Raleigh to start next season with Andersen and Kochetkov under contract.PK, FA and Martin are under contract next season. Raanta likely gone
"You have noticed we have kind of lot of 'Marties' here, haven't you?"Martin is signed, but it’s doubtful he’s in Raleigh to start next season with Andersen and Kochetkov under contract.
What do you ask Martin? “What do you think of Chicago?”
I understand the mindset completely. As a fan, we want players to take time to heal for when games matter. As a player in a contract year, they want to play so they can get paid.I don’t understand this mindset, take the time heal up and be ready for when the games actually matter. It’s like Burns and his Iron Man streak, take a rest old man you looked like dog shit in the playoffs.
Give me the 100%, well rested, healthy team going into the playoffs 10 times out of 10. I don’t give two shits about warrior mentality, how tough a guy is, or any of that nonsense. This isn’t the 80’s or even 90’s, playing through injuries in the regular season likely hurts your team more than it helps in the long run.

Listening to the DFO Rundown segment on the Canes, it’s pretty interesting how many narratives about the team are out there.
- They lack gamebreaking offensive talent
- They’re sandpaper deficient
- The defensive zone structure needs to change (I don’t get this one at all)
Not mentioned on the pod, but very popular online:
- They haven’t won because of goaltending
- They need a 2C
Wild that the Canes have been as good as they’ve been with all of those flaws.
To you. I'm sure the owner might view it differently.Those are things that matter much more over a small sample size against the best teams in the league...aka the playoffs...vs spread out over the whole season

I think that would help the competition more than it would help the Canes.We need a new round of compliance buy outs, 1 per team.
Just looking around, Edmonton with Nurse is obvious, some teams could buy a pick for a buyout also.I think that would help the competition more than it would help the Canes.
