2024-25 Canes Miscellaneous Thread

Justin Robidas was sent back to Chicago. So either Staal or Svech are ready to go on Tuesday. They flew home last night and will practice tomorrow before flying to Buffalo.
 
Not sure where Svech stands, but Staal was more or less ready to play on April 2nd, so I'd guess they want to get him going again. Also, I thought Robindas showed pretty well. He's small, but he's got game.
 
Staal and Svech are both practicing today.

Hope it's Staal

Yeah. I didn't think KK played all that badly stepping into Staal's role but Roddy clearly didn't like what he saw in Detroit and didn't give him much rope in Boston. Roslovic ended up on that line pretty quickly on Saturday. That's just a big shift in capability, and Staal's line is the one thing that almost never lets the team down regardless of situation.

Robidas' NHL career path with the Canes has a Logan Stankoven problem.

I'd expand that to include Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis and Jackson Blake. Both Robindas and Nadeau aren't going to plug into this existing roster without tipping things to the "too small" section of the chart. I don't have issues with short fellas, but there's only so many you can get away with in the NHL. 4 of them is already pushing it. 6 is over the redline.

And yeah, I know that Aho* and Jarvis don't really play like small guys ... still, they are. Same with Stankoven. Blake is small no matter your definition, as is Robidas.

* I'm also aware that Aho is listed at 6'0" but that is pure fiction.
