I’m pumped. Hopefully Hall isn’t out that long, but I wonder if they’ll pull up FUS too

If Hall is out expect Carrier to slide down and Nadeau and Ehlers in the top 6.

He’s injured (different injury from last year), which is a big part of their struggles. He’s expected back Nov-Dec I think. He would be a different look, but he is a very physical player and solid playmaker with a good shot. I expect he will get heavy PK and PP time once he’s back.

Right now, yes it’s those two. I meant in terms of that future day without Staal. Cerrato is pretty promising, but I’d hope that means substantial NHL time next season so he can learn from Staal on ice while he’s still playing

I’m really hoping Cerrato works out and gets up to speed very quickly. I can see where he could do a lot of what Staal can, albeit without the size and reach

The double deuce, eh? A classic

Is it not?

Oh for sure. That or “they’re a bit knicked up” then they’re out for 3 months

Hey, it is his favorite player and the ultimate glue guy on the team. It’s easy to see why he’s the captain.

I don’t know if we need Crosby, but sure I suppose adding to the depth at center would be good

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Same. But mostly because I have him on my fantasy roster

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
It was. Great puck-moving, made all the saves he should and a few he shouldn’t

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I don’t see how it’s an improvement at all

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
We can only hope the new U.S. agent has been able to convince him to sign 2 years, commit to playing, and revisit things in the second year of the contract.

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Mostly all this has delayed Niki getting the opportunities he wants. There’s a clear path to him playing next to Slavin if he picks up the defensive side more. He also would get top 4 deployment if injuries occur. PP1 is harder, but if he gets better with his shot PP2 can get more even minutes

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Even on the Winnipeg trade I could see it being somewhat about opportunity given the lefties they have already. Though I do think a lot of Russians really don’t want to spend their winters in a cold place with no nightlife

Frederik Andersen also usually gets shortened as Freddie, so that doesn’t stick out to me

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I would also go by just Rod. And Willie, though Wil would be an improvement

No love for radial systems?

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
But you can map complex numbers onto a coordinate system as well

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
In RBA’s case, at least, the system would break down far too much to cover for Laine. If he could at least skate still it might have been worth giving him a try, but I can’t see how he even fits the offensive system outside of a power play

How often do you think Marty sings “Yeah, here comes the rooster!” when Robbie walks in the room?

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Rod has brought up in interviews a few times how in his first big playoff run with the Flyers they were killed by the sticks of the Red Wings. So it seems he has always valued active sticks and skilled forechecking since.

I saw the headline, took a look at the byline and said “nope, don’t need to read more.”

Primeau didn’t play in either game
000
kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
There’s also reason to give DLo and KK reps, so I don’t mind if they wait until after the weekend to bring one of the rookies up. Which also gives the Wolves their opening weekend to test/tweak their roster

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The risk is lower with Edvinsson than Nikishin I’d say. Especially where we place more value on 2-way play

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’d love him for $9M long term

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Not until after the trade deadline, when there’s a team limit on number of non-emergency callups.

I think you meant to say _____enburg

You mean the Swedish lad hasn’t been seen in the league for a while. The Finn just spent the summer celebrating a Cup win

That’s what I’ve been doing for a few years. I do put on Fubo for the WJC if there’s Canes players in it, but that’s about it
000
kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I don’t mind Marchenko leaving CBJ, especially to go to a team we only play twice a year that doesn’t have Werenski

Beautiful. If there were a watch replica I’d be sorely tempted to
010
kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
With the Avs and Canes having a higher chance than that to win it all, making the playoffs would quite literally be the Canucks’ Stanley Cup
010
kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The roster is full at 23 spots, so it could be that they’re waiting to put Primeau on waivers tomorrow then call one of Nadeau or FUS up. They may also wait until after Tuesday since DLo seems like he will be in the lineup for that game

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I think just because they can run an extra in preseason. I’m curious if Fransen is going to get a decent bit of time, though. I’m fascinated that they kept him for this game
220
kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I do a little hope someone claims him. We just don’t have space on the 4th line anytime soon and he deserves an NHL shot

Hey, you leave our short kings alone! There’s never too many in Raleigh

Fransen sticking around a few more days is interesting. I think he needs a year or more in the AHL, but that skating 😮‍💨

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It’s got me much more optimistic than yesterday - that he may actually stay long term, but if not this situation should resolve quickly.

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
This kid throws himself into the deep end and will start as 1C in Chicago, so I won’t be surprised to see him getting mentored by Staal next year

Light blue, #69?

I feel like I’ll have to get there earlier than usual because people are just going to leave work at noon and tailgate early

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I’m sure Lenovo will be full with the banner raising and being a game against the Panthers, but I don’t get why it’s not at 7. I’ll certainly be there, but the TV audience will be much lower than prime time. Even 6 would be better

That’s just the look of a Stanley Cup Champion! Wooooo!

lol, is PoMo afraid his kids wouldn’t be able to handle our kid lineup?

kswagger.bsky.social @kswagger.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
That’ll be a fun line! But then there’s something to like on each line

Rosters are largely filled out at this point, and I don’t know there’s a ton of suitors who are willing to pay up in AAV and assets yet. Chernykh’s comments indicated there are “interested teams,” but that’s not the same as teams willing to meet his asking price and the Canes’.
