As we start to enter the NHL silly season, here is where things stand in terms of the prospect list. I'm doing this partly to make things easier to integrate the players we draft later this week, and to separate out players I don't expect to track next season. I also updated some info on...
Other leagues have already started (some several weeks ago).
Through October 4th:
Glen Trikozov LW (2nd Round 2022 VHL (Russian Minors) Omeskie Krylia/MHL Omeskie Yastreby (Russian Juniors)
With Omeskie Krylia: 5 Games 2 Goals 0 Assists -2
With Omeskie Yastreby: 1 Game 0 Goals 0...
Setting up for the 2021-22 season and saving myself some time later by figuring out where all these kids are supposed to be next season
Scott Morrow RHD (2nd Round 2021 Hockey East UMASS Fr.)
Alexsi Heimosalmi RHD (2nd Round 2021 Liiga Assat)
Ville Koivunen W (2nd Round 2021 Liiga Karpat)...
I wrapped up creating 25 brackets online for the tourney this year in the always useless attempt to actually win a prize. As the resident UCONN alum and ACC 'hater' (especially Duke) on this board, all I can say is that the exercise of making brackets this year made me feel dirty....really...
While we wait for the NHL and AHL seasons to kick off, many of our prospects have already started their regular seasons. Lots of placeholders here for now, but I wanted to get this thread started and our prospect list pulled together.
I will say this...having put this list together, with...
Well now we can we stop worrying about the awkwardness of Skinner staying... I suspect there are multiple people opening up threads so I will wait for all the new posts before I comment but we got basically a pile of crap for Skinner is my initial take.'
Add Cliff Pu to the pile of prospects.
Edmonton Oilers come to town to play what amounts to a meaningless game for both teams. Edmonton sits as the 7th worst team in the NHL with a disappointing 67 points and have no shot at a playoff spot. The Canes are the 11th worst team in the NHL and effectively need to win all 10 of their...
Canes are in Boston tonight for another road game. They will have the same crew that played and lost in Detroit as the team elected not to make any acquisitions at the trade deadline. Jordan Staal will remain out of the lineup indefinitely. Canes now sit 5 points out of the WC2 spot with one...
Canes finally catch a break here at game 5 of the season long roadie, facing the new hapless Vegas expansion team. Vegas, as expected, is dead last in the Pacific division, managing only 5 wins so fa.....wait a sec.....WTF!?!?!?!?!
4-1 Golden Knights.
So my wife and I are going through the exercise of kicking around getting some full season ticket this year and the pros and cons.
I know I can get these questions eagerly answered on Monday, but I'll throw these out here for those of you who are regular season ticket members.....
* Vouchers -...
Canes are back at home tonight against the Islanders. The remaining 3 games mean nothing to the Canes (except for draft position) but his game means everything to the Islanders. The Islanders have to win their last 3 AND need a lot of other things to happen to make the playoffs. So the...
Canes host the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at PNC.
Columbus is battling still for the President's trophy and the 1st overall seed in the Eastern conference, coming in 5 points behind Washington with a game in hand. They are also only 2 points ahead of Pittsburgh (who has played one more...
Canes and Wings go again tonight at PNC in what is really a must win for the Canes.
I expect that other than backup goalie, the Canes will roll out the same lineup with possible forward line adjustments. The Ryan Murphy drive to 35 will continue and I would think that Nedeljkovic will be...

Apparently McGinn, PDG and now Zykov are not going to be able to go Monday. Wallmark has had a great first North American pro season with Charlotte.
Certainly can't be worse than playing 7 Dmen:
https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/hurricanes-recall-valentin-zykov-from-charlotte-checkers/c-287512332
He deserves this call-up, he has been one of the few consistent producers for Charlotte.
Ok, I'll do the deed and open this thread.
Struggling Canes get right back at it against a Pens team that is 6-1-3 in their last 10. That one loss came Sunday at home against the Wings (5-2). Pens are likely plenty ticked off after being blown out at home and I expect they will relish taking...
Canes in Boston tonight to play the Bruins. Fox Sports Carolina for TV
Bruins sit at 12-10-1 for 25 points, just out of a wild card spot and 4th in the Atlantic Division. Their biggest issue has been goal scoring, which on a per game average is actually worse then the struggling Canes. They...
Canes go back on the road for the first of 2 games this week versus the Rangers at MSG.
Canes will be without Jordan Staal who is out indefinitely with a concussion after taking a stick to the head/neck area during Sunday night's game against the Panthers. Phil DiGuiseppe who has 7 points...
