2025-26 Canes Miscellaneous Thread

As the Rangers continue to spiral, I'm still thinking that the Canes might finally find our Vincent Trocheck replacement via a trade for....Vincent Trocheck. Its a shame his current contract has 3 more seasons after this once which takes him into his mid-30s....but he can still play and is still that +++ RH faceoff guy we have never been able replace. His $5.625 million AAV is a now a bargain really for all he does.

It honestly wouldn't shock me. Tro's deal is whittled down to the point where you could reasonably expect a couple of years of service and then think buyout. At less that $6 mil AAV and with a Cap that's continuing to rise, that's hardly even a risk anymore. I'm sure they'd prefer a younger option, but quality 2Cs remain thin on the ground.

In addition to his general level of play, Vinnie also provides a little bit of shit stirring which is something this Canes team could use as well. They're a bit snarlier this year, but mostly in reaction. It would be nice to see a little more initiation. Nikishin is going to bring more of that as he gets more comfortable with finding the right situation to bring the boom, but I'd love this team to be that little bit more annoying to play against.

It’s just a matter of what they would want in return. And at that cap hit, Tulsky wouldn’t have to move a roster player. But moving *cough* KK *cough* would leave him with almost the same deadline flexibility he has now.
 
Vinnie would be almost Erik-Cole-returning-from-Edmonton levels of obvious. The guy's bedding-in period would be the length of time it takes him to lace his skates.
 
If anyone wants a nice recap of his career covering the Canes and the importance of actual beat writers (and other less important stuff like basketball ... lol), DeCock has a segment on Ovies and Giglio's podcast. It's the Monday episode, but I'm just now catching up. Here's a link to the YouTube version

Any of you B and C league players wear small skates and interested in a pair of Sami Kapanen Easton skates? I found them when I was taking stuff away from the man cave to paint. He wore them like twice and gave them to me. I think they are about a 7 1/2 or 8. I’ll check when I get home. They are from early 2000’s but basically brand new lol

Hey, that's this C League player's favorite Hurricane of all time. Thanks for the offer, but believe it or not, I wear an even smaller pair of skates!

Any chance the STH parking disruption is delayed until next season?

I think it will be. They were pretty vague when they extended us to March so hopefully they'll include the rest of the season and any post season games.

100% chance; just got an email (and it's even a free upgrade):
Our records currently indicate that your account has a Premier Parking Pass associated with your Season Ticket Membership. Originally, these passes were set to transition to General parking passes for games after February 3rd, 2026 due to construction development projects.

However, we wanted to make you aware that due to an updated construction timeline, the Premier Parking lots will now remain active for the remainder of this season!

This means that all General Parking passes associated with your account after 2/3/26 will now automatically be upgraded to a Premier Pass - free of charge to you.

Yup ... got the good news today. I'm concerned about the pricing on those projects, but definitely happy to not have to go through whatever they're planning for parking during the first phase. And starting it during hockey season would probably be the worst case scenario since they'd only have a few days to come up with Plan B once their initial plan goes sideways.
 
Would be nice to 'whoops, oh, so sorry' some of them with a follow through to the larynx.
