It's a shame EK still has you guys missing the Playoffs even with those big moves

Love what Carolina has been doing. Seems like Waddell has done a great job of addressing team needs for the short and long term.

Trocheck seems like he could be a VERY good addition to the Canes as a secondary scorer instead of being part of the focus like he was in Florida
BINGO!

Looks like Skjei will be on the top pair with Slavin moving to his right side.

Trochek slots in between Niederreiter and Necas.

Cool.

The fact that they didnt trade for a goalie must mean Mrazek is not expected to be out long term?

Is Lehner is under contract or a UFA in the summer. Maybe the Cane's go after him then ?

He's a UFA in the summer.

I don't think they're getting him. If he wanted to be a Hurricane he would have signed this past summer.

Waddell says Mrazek does not have any concussion symptoms so he could be back soon.

Lehner is a few weeks away

Skjei needed a change of scenery (is away from Ruff) I'm sure he will be great and be the bargain we expected him to be when he signed that deal. It's a trade that needed to happen from the NYR standpoint as he just wasn't going to succeed here

Nedeljkovic for the moment.

Mrazek should be back in a week or so.

Not a good season debut for Nedeljkovik last night. The Canes historically have terrible results with the Rangers and the Stars. I'm glad the season schedule is complete with those two teams.
