Bryce Montgomery made it, too, and he has been signed to an entry-level deal...The Canes cut down to 25. Blake is on the roster for now, the only kid to make it. Everyone but Honka was assigned to Chicago. Honka was assigned to HC Ajoie in Switzerland. Haffner and Grimaldi were released from their PTOs.

According to PuckPedia, the combination of Montgomery signing and putting Stillman on LTIR at the cap deadline tomorrow brings to Cames to within $3 of maximizing cap space.More than likely they'll keep Ryan on IR if they need to. Same as they did with Suzuki last year. Either that or he's not all that injured and still battling with Stillman for 7D. I'm assuming Montgomery is sticking as a reward for solid play. He'll need some seasoning. And since they won't be keeping 14 forwards, I'd expect that Blake is still here as a bone for winning the kiddie corps sweepstakes. Although best as I can tell, Unger Sorum has probably been the most overall impressive youngster.

I mean ... it's just math, and not particularly complicated math at that. And some of it is just working with the circumstances. Like, there's no way they calibrated every new contract within this framework, but once they got close to the number they were careful with their calculations. THAT's the step a lot of pro teams don't take, especially in hockey. Cap logic in the NHL has largely been brute force thinking.Yes, this effective cap management. The Canes don't need the LTIR space at the moment and most certainly will try to operate under the cap as much as possible in order to accrue cap space. But by getting right up to the cap before putting Fast on LTIR, we maximize the amount of LTIR allowance available to us should we elect to use that allowance later on.
Maximizing the LTIR capture within $3? With Tulsky and the other STEM guys in the front office, this sounds about right.
Today is going to be interesting, final rosters due at 5. The waiver wire is gonna be buzzing.I mean ... it's just math, and not particularly complicated math at that.

With Jenner and Voronkov on the shelf, it wouldn’t shock me if Waddell took a flyer on his former 1st rounder.Yeah, should be a bust day at the NHL office. I'm still thinking some other team might take a flyer on Suzuki.
Me either. I thought he might do it even before those injuries, but Voronkov being out really does a number on their creative forwards. Frankly, they don't have a checking line replacement for Jenner either. They could pick up multiple guys today.With Jenner and Voronkov on the shelf, it wouldn’t shock me if Waddell took a flyer on his former 1st rounder.
Well, that's no fun!When Jared Staal played for us, he and Jordan both had "J. STAAL" on the jerseys...
