We also gave up the signing rights for Kirill Slepets to TOR in the deal.

This is a great pick up. The Canes had been scouting Retained Salary for a while now. He should really solidify the top 6, bring some offensive punch, and boost PP2. Looking forward to seeing Retained Salary at PNC tomorrow. I read that some fans might be greeting him at the airport.
Agree but why would we agree to help Toronto for a pick that will most likely never materialize into anything?
A draft pick is an asset. Whether it gets used or traded, it’s an asset to the organization. It also buys some goodwill with 2 general managers for helping to facilitate a trade.

Future Considerations is still more popular with the fans than Retained Salary. He’s played for every team and keeps fans hoping for a huge breakout season.

But the less said about poor ol' Bag O'Pucks the better. That guy has been kicked around the league for years.

You are assuming that Lyubushkin actually helps the Leafs? His metrics have him as one of the worst Dmen in the league I believe so I'm not really sure we actually helped the Leafs.
I know the Canes are just viewing this as paying $175k for a 6th round pick, but part of me wants to believe that behind the scenes in our analytics room we saw a chance to actually make the Leafs worse and get a 6th round pick while doing so.
Toronto moved heaven and earth to get a penalty prone warm body who may actually make them worse. Why wouldn't the Canes try to get something out of that if they could?
Looks like the Arena Authority has selected their new architectural and design team for the PNC Arena renovations. Gensler is a multi-national big boy design firm. They've done a fair amount of arena and stadium renovation work and did the design work for Staples/Crypto in LA and the new Chase Center in San Francisco. LS3P will be their local partner. The only thing I saw that was a new idea in the coverage was a proposal to add "wings" on the East and West sides to expand public space. Gensler have also done some really nice work in mid-sized soccer venues. They did Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego and Q2 Stadium in Austin, and I'm a fan of both.

This is one thing that TMobile arena has over PNC that I did like. The areas where the food options were had ample bump out space for those areas. It felt roomier along the walkways as a result.
Yep, in the 200 level, there was a sizable full service bar near our section. There were a lot of people getting cocktails and they take longer than drawing a beer so the line moves slower and can stack up. But the concourse never felt crowed like PNC can. And they had adjacent seating areas, much bigger than the bars at PNC on the lower and upper concourses.
Yeah. It's hard to really visualize just how much of the public space is taken up with the entrance ways and escalators and stairs. Bumping that stuff out away from the body of the concourse will open up a lot of real estate for other things. It also allows for "normal" operations while you basically build an adjacent structure, so you could do that work while the building is still in use. That's a big plus for this kind of renovation. It's really, really tough to do any major work between the end of the season and the start of camp ... especially if the season deep into the playoff schedule.

That's my concern. Sounds like too much to do in too little time.
Again, by moving a major amount of the new work outside of the existing footprint of the building (adding "wings" on the East and West sides) that takes away much of that concern.
Pyotr Kochetkov was named Rookie of the Month for February. He was 5-3 with 1.71 GAA and .940 save % with 2 shutouts. Bucci and Mleczko touched on it briefly last night, but it’s time for him to be in the Calder discussion.

Aren’t they also doing the spectrum center in Charlotte?
