Been an issue for Dahlin his entire time here. How many big hits did Power take last year?

Wonder if it's harder to hit a 6'6 guy? Probably not in the gameplan.

Wow, I didn't realize he played that many

I was surprised at the 11 years. I thought maybe 7 or 8, which is still impressive for someone barely taller than a dwarf.

I won’t disagree gerbe had heart in spades. I was (like otherS) shocked he played that many games. But he isn’t a guy I would as an argument for having heart. He overcame a lot by it. Honestly if he was 6’ he probably has a hell of a career. I think a lot of his injuries were height created.

I went to the last Roch game at the arena 3 or 4 years ago - I think they were playing Erie. My jaw almost hit the ground when I saw that Gerbe was playing for them. I think he spent a little more time with the big club after that.

he scored the goal that got us to our last playoffs, didn't he?

I believe he did - a 20 ft screened backhand vs PHI maybe. The last 30 seconds of the game, the Sabres just held the puck in their zone as both teams needed the point. It may have not been Philly??

I think most of us acknowledge that fact. When I say Girgensons sucks. He doesn't really suck. He just sucks in context of being a good NHL player. He could go to Switzerland and be like McDavid. Well, not exactly, but you get my point.

I’ve been very hard on the Johnson signing.

This is pretty cool though.

Happy DeAngelo day. Hopefully when that goes through the rest of the league wakes up and there’s some movement.

Not sure if posted already, Pesce’s Dad posted this on Twitter:

Just want to say thank you to all my CANIAC friends for support of Brett, means so much to me. Over the years never imagined I could connect and LOVE the fans of Raleigh as I do; what an incredibly passionate base you are. Whatever happens I love you all!

For the most part …… teams in general don’t have cap space or have very little left.

Adams this week has gotten a few calls for cap dumps.

Aka 89s Matt Murray rumor.

He got a few more calls like that from teams

WHERE COULD THE DUCKS TRADE GIBSON?

THE SCORE: John Matisz speculated over two obvious trade destinations for John Gibson and two dark-horse candidates for the 29-year-old Anaheim Ducks goaltender.


Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (NHL Images).

Matisz considers the New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres as his obvious choices. Both are rising young clubs lacking an experienced starter between the pipes.

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings are Matisz’s dark horses. It’s doubtful the Jackets can get out of the NHL basement with a tandem of Elvis Merzlikins and Daniil Tarasov, while the Kings are trying to become Stanley Cup contenders with the duo of Cam Talbot and Pheonix Copley.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: I don’t disagree with Matisz and his choices. So far, however, it appears those four clubs are willing to go into next season with their current goalies and see what happens.

Matisz noted that Gibson’s contract with its $6.4 million AAV through 2026-27 and 10-team no-trade list is a stumbling block. He also pointed out the netminder’s poor stats last season.

A Gibson trade remains possible depending on how desperate one of those three clubs becomes for a goaltending boost during 2023-24. I rule out the Kings because I don’t believe the Ducks would trade him to their closest rival. Moving Gibson, however, will depend on the Ducks’ asking price and how much of his AAV they’re willing to retain to facilitate a trade.

He has to be better than the other 400 goalies we have under contract.
