Watch the Canes introduce Lindholm. ( Live stream) at 2pm.
Alright, lets get the chatter going about the stud and Skinner. Just traded Conacher and a 1st (9th-12th pick) for Skinner, 12 typical cats H2H. Needed the G stats and had A stats to give up. Concussions are the new AIDS, to steal a Bill Maher line. Younger with a Calder under his belt, producing no less than 20+ g seasons, including a blistering 31 in the first season, but now hearing whispers that he was eroding quickly The pain in his head syndrome is an excuse to throw around, things sound better when you hear he might line up with Lindholm.
Crazy numbers thrown around, negative sidebars featuring Oliers elite, and then mix it up with NYI stew. Not claiming to know the Canes, but I am gamblng that Skinner and Lindholm are going to click and as early as this season. Going to be all-in thinking 120-135 pts combined.
Could I be wrong?

So, Muller is saying Skinner will start the season on the third line as either a C or W. Do you guys buy this? Picked up SKinner in a deadline deal last season, this was not what I was expecting heading into this year.

Did he say what the kther lines would be?
I actually think this makes sense. With staal/semin beig offense line 1
Oter staal brother being line 2 the more defensive unit. And the skinner centering the 3rd line but more offensively. Te mins might hurt him as he might only get 15 mins a game. Maybe his concussions are of concern.

Here is the article. http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/08/...es-as-new.html
Sure they may kick the tires in camp on what works / doesn't work etc but they aren't looking for him to be a 3rd liner that's for sure. So he's got that going for him especially at this cost. I would not worry about it to much. I worry more about the durabilty than him being stuck on 3rd line duty.
a little tidbit from twitter re Pitkanen:
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
CAR will check out Joni Pitkanen's injured ankle (broken on icing in April) tomorrow but it's possible he won't be ready to start season.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Original prognosis on Pitkanen's Apr. 2nd injury was 3 months but healing has reportedly been slow. Canes will know more after tomorrow.

Not any fantasy relevance really but the Canes signed Dvorak:

Not sure if serious, but...
reviving thread?!
Will V. Rask finally stick with the big club now that the already meager F depth has been dealt a blow with J./Staal's broken leg keeping him out for over a month and a half ... surely some surprise will come along, no? Brock McGinn? Not yet I presume.
I feel Lindholm is still a bit too frail to stand up to big time duties over the course of the year, he's slick don't get me wrong, he just needds more time to pass to bulk up a bit more.
Riley Nash will help McClement shoulder 3/4 C, which isn't terrible, I liked the McClement signing and the Canes with their squalid offense seem to eek points out of their bottom 6 guys ...but....what is go on here!? Perhaps a tank for mcdavid is in order. lol
It's gonna be a long year..

YES YES YES! The Canes thread lives!
Acquired Ryan Murphy earlier this year, just had a feeling that this way a breakout year for him (as well as just being one of those guys I always liked). Feeling better and better about it, given his 3 pp points in 2 games.
Think he's running the PP this year?

Well of course, who would be interested in the Canes unless some attachment to the carolinas , ownership of guys from the canes in fantasy leagues or whatever else. (theres lots of other reasons lol)
well thats not all true. but i will be happy to keep 'er alive on this forum.
i think murphy has a bright future for certain on the canes blueline as a solid top four, top PP option, but we will be waiting yet.. at least, won't be seeing it all this upcoming season. my .02, what do i know though here's to hopin! the canes certainly need a bright spot for the years upcoming. McDavid! HAHA
