Teravainen just got signed to a nice extension
- Reveen.

$5.4 million? I take that allllll day.

He's getting slower. Injury after injury after injury and it's piling up on him.

He has almost no offensive confidence but he CAN still eat up minutes vs top lines pretty effectively, he's just not going to score.

They brought in Kruger to do some heavy lifting for him defensively last year and that was a disaster. Hopefully the way Aho has come along allows them to reduce his minutes.

They can't buy him out, though. If they buy out Darling (who's somehow been WORSE in the AHL than he was in the NHL) then they've got Darling and Semin buy-outs on the books, so a third leaves them no flexibility for retaining salary in a trade or anything for the next several years.
- BINGO!

Yeah. I can definitely tell he’s gotten slower anytime I catch the Canes on TV. I always expected Staal to stay around 2C with his shut down skills but looking at his stats, he’s definitely a black hole for points.

And didn’t realize Semin was still on the books. Holy (frank) that was a bad contract.

That’s a great deal for a top six player in their prime.

Eric (Who is still horribly underrated somehow)




Jordan

Marc




Jared.
- BINGO!

I always think about Christmas at their parents house and how much their mom has to spoil Jared so he doesn’t cry.

Insane how bad that one turned out. Canes went out and tried to spend money on guys for a couple years and it all fell apart immediately after. Cost Rutherford his job and I think it cost Karmanos to team.

Thomas Kaberle and Alex Semin.... yeesh.

Just wait till Ferland gets his Lucic contract from the Canes

Their dad told a story about how the brothers complained when Eric would come back to the farm in the summer and he was the only one that didn't have to do chores. Henry Staal told them "When you win the Stanley Cup, then you won't have to do chores either."

I guess only Marc and Jared have to do them now.

Yeaaaah. That’s two that should only be signed if the year was 2006. Holland did similar with Brad Richards, Marek Zidlicky, David Legwand and Mike Commodore.

Jared must be reeeeaaaal good at shoveling horse poop by now.

"He's the biggest of the bunch! Probably the most skilled he just doesn't have the drive!"

They got Nino because they knew there was no way they're going to sign Ferland to what he's looking for.

Dude has "David Clarkson 2.0" all over him.

Step on up Holland or Chiarelli.

Don’t worry. You’ll just pay Nyquist 8.5 for seven years after you trade for him. Then Klinkhammer will be like “A Swede from the Wings” and hand out another career ending concussion.

- Reveen.

He'll arrive and you'll (frank)ing love him for like 2 months and then realize that if he's not playing with McDavid he's almost literally useless.

Also it looks like he's suffered his second concussion this year.

Unrelated to anything....


Puljujarvi looked as good as I have seen him. He seems a lot stronger and more confident.

It’s hilarious the fall in skill from Staal brother to the younger ones.

We don’t have enough money coming off the books to do anything. Everyone is on multi year contracts

Spooner on waivers will open up some room, I guess?

Good Christ. Imagine turning Jordan Eberle into literally nothing and not being fired for it.

They’ll buyout Drai and Klefbom to make it work.

It’s like a Greek tragedy, this team.

I'm just left wondering who else do we have to take those roster spots.... better call up some more kids from the farm rather than let them develop....

It’s to make sure for Nyquist. Yammer and a first.

Eberle sucks. You don’t win with players like him.

Strome was at least useful.

Spooner is a healthy scratch. Just a terrible player.

Yes he has. Now he just needs to continue that trend.
