that's a pretty talented third line...am assuming they're not expected to be used in a defensive role

Nah. J.Staal will get Eichel. Canes kind of just roll out three 2nd lines. Replace Stempniak with Julien Gauthier on that line next season.

Damn good D core IMO. Slavin and Pesce are good hockey players.

Very underrated. Slavin might be the best player on this team.

If Staal equalizes Eichel, can the other 2 elevate their level of play to compete with lesser Foligno brother and 48 year old Gionta? You better hope so.

How much for Faulk?

That blue line is loaded, and he eventually will be behind Slavin/Hanifin.

9 or 92 from the AVS is what it will cost.

He is now.

Hanifin will pair with him down the stretch. Haydn Fleury and maybe Roland McKeown fill out the bottom pair next year.

It's a long ways from the nightmare group of scraps we had for years under Jim Rutherford.

JR's problem was always his loyalty. He made too many decisions with his heart instead of his mind.

In Pittsburgh, he had no loyalties, and was tasked with winning immediately. He's always been a tremendous deal maker, just too loyal to the guys he has.

That's some drafting outside of the 1st round to be damn proud of. I hope Murray's picks can develop into half the player Carolina has.

Brock McGinn is a 2nd rounder, Lucas Wallmark is 4C next year (4th Rounder) and Nicolas Roy is probably on the team next year too (Also a 4th Rounder)

Player evaluation improved dramatically when Ron Francis moved into the front office, and it's improved even more since he hired Joe Nieuwendyk as a Special Advisor.
