Crabcakes Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Based on comments I've seen from Canes fans, this deal is a cap dump. They now have $8.6M in free cap space which they'll need when Pacioretty comes back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he has potential and boy it'd be nice if he breaks into a 20 minute guy but I don't think he's any better than Burroughs. Nuts to think we gave up Chatfield and Forsling and they're flourishing now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatfield is same player Canucks had.Bottom cheep feeder.Canes have top 4 defencmen in place,and wont pay 2.2 milion if they can have player play few minutes at 750.000.Ethan is better then Poolman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear is going to help our D a lot. He's a mobile dman that is good at moving the puck out of the d-zone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Friedman's scoop that he requested a trade this summer is probably ithe other part of the explanation. And that part might hurt too much for 'Canes fans to mention.

I just heard Dahliwal on Youtube say that he was having issues with Brindamour over fitness. Apparently he is in the best shape of his life in response to Rod the Bod's criticism but apparently it was too late for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dpn1 Posted October 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think he is going to really help our right side and if he is a good first pass guy I am excited to see how he does. That vid clip on him was great. Having a First Nations player on our team is an honor and a great example for the kids in our communities. 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Indian Horse if you'd (anyone would) like to watch it.

Petey Castiglione Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 He was trending good while with the Oilers and fell out of grace with Rod. I'm hoping he gets back on track and solidifies himself as a #4 guy but with all our moves recently, I'm preparing myself for him actually being a #6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear will be Hughes’ partner (5 on 5) and be awesome. He will be the guy we lost in Tanev who enables Hughes to play more offensively. They are going to be a fantastic top pairing. Say hello to ppg Hughes very soon. (80+) This was a steal trade for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Bear has that potential? Its hard to tell from the raw stats. One improvement I see is he really cleaned up his giveaways when he moved to Carolina. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/playerreport.php?fromseason=20212022&thruseason=20212022&playerid=8478451&sit=5v5&stype=2&stdoi=oi&rate=n&v=p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaks volumes to me. I'm not expectina lot and i seriously doubt we'll get a lot. The good news is we didn't need to give up a lot but some one has to go down for Cap reasons I think peolpe are not getting the full understanding of the reasons why Bear was pushed down the Canes depth chart. With the signing of Burns and having Slavin,Skjei and Pesce they have the offence they need form the back end. Chatfield adds more defense and is also right handed , which gives them all left/right pairings. Bear was never going to be ahead of Burns or Pesce. Add in his salary and Chatfield is a more capfriendly third pairing. As for him being a scratch for the playoffs, I believe he never got going after he got Covid.

I suggest everyone read it (or watch it, as it is also a film). Racism is so ugly and it needs to stop. "Love one another, be kind" Wow, love this video of Bear. How can you not like this kid. Very bright kid that comes from a beautiful heart warming family. I'm already hoping he shines like Burrows did for us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
