Canes Prospects Development Camp

Hanafin cant play in Charlotte. If he signs a contract with the canes he either plays in NHL or juniors. Was drafted and still has a year left on junior eligibility.

Except that Hanifin went the NCAA route (Boston College), so isn't subject to the agreement between the Canadian Hockey leagues (WHL, OHL, QJML) and the NHL about no poaching players for their AHL teams until they turn 20.

Fleury, on the other hand, is subject to those player restrictions since he went the juniors route. So for him, it's the NHL or juniors next season.

But Hanifin does have the AHL option available as a pro entry strategy.

Yeah, this comes up all the time, so let's go ahead and quote the rule (bold mine):
8.7 Age 18 and 19 Players.
(a) During the first two seasons next succeeding the draft of an age 18 Player, the
Club he signs an SPC with must first offer him to the club from which he was claimed before it
may Loan him.
(b) During the first season next succeeding the draft of an age 19 Player or a Player
who reaches his 19th birthday between September 16 and December 31, inclusive, of the year of
the Entry Draft, the Club he signs an SPC with must first offer him to the club from which he
was claimed before it may Loan him.
(c) During the seasons set forth in (a) and (b) above, the age 18 and age 19 Player,
respectively, may be Loaned to the minor league team affiliate of his Club when his Junior team
is no longer in competition and provided he has been listed on the Club's minor league eligibility
list.

So this is the rule -- the Canes have to OFFER the player back to the team he was drafted from, for 1 or 2 seasons, before assigning him to Charlotte. It is up to that team whether to take him. Obviously 99.9% of CHL teams will take back an AHL-level 18- or 19-year old, and say thankyouverymuch. The NCAA will not take the player back, because they consider him a professional, and thus ineligible, at that point. But there's nothing on the NHL CBA-side which excludes the NCAA from doing so should they change their rules.
 
NCAA is the only "amateur" system that rakes in billions of dollars. (as far as I know)

the NCAA gets 90% of their total yearly budget for all sports from TV rights to the 3 week BB tournament in March/April. (12 days of games)

I saw some draft rankings that expected Roy to go mid-to-late first round. Everything I've read says his skating and first step is the issue. Most pundits believe that can be fixed-- perhaps dwind can weigh in on whether or not that's teachable and can be improved upon.

Sorry, just saw this. The answer is yes, both in and off ice training can improve speed and agility. The first three steps - explosive speed - are the most important. I worked with several junior and college players on this.

Thanks, D! If he does the work and is able to get his skating to NHL level, I suspect we'll be very glad he fell to us in the 4th.

Only because they don't control the football TV money, which is administered through the CFA and mostly goes directly to the conferences.
 
State of the Canes session at Summerfest being streamed live at Canes site.

Waddell, Francis, Peters.

Kaiton MC'ing.
 
Some of the guys were obviously gassed, Hanifin especially. Fleury is like a bigger Murphy, great skater, great hands, no defense. Roy is GOOD.
 
So Francis and Peters spoke for about 20 minutes in between Hanifin signing his contract. They also took some questions from Twitter. Basically, we're going to camp with the team we have. Francis talks to other GMs every day but isn't making a deal unless someone knocks his socks off. No discussion on extensions for Staal or Ward. They're very happy to have Mark Morris in Charlotte, he's been at the camp all week. They'll run the same systems and use the same terminology in Charlotte as they do in Raleigh. Neither would comment on specific players because, as Francis said, some agent will call him and ask "why didn't you mention my guy?"

Waddell spoke for a bit before Francis and Peters. By the time the season starts, they hope to have arena-wide public WiFi installed. He also said that for the first time in 5 years, we'll have more STH at the start of a season than we had at the end of the previous season. He re-iterated PKs comments that the team isn't moving; the lease runs until 2024 and at some point in the near future they'll start working on an extension.

I don't see how that's possible given the general marketplace malaise but OK, cool.

A. The wifi thing is partly thanks to an NC State research grant into more effective signal strength boosters in public settings. You're welcome because GFH never would have footed the bill all by themselves.

B. Yeah. When you triple your sales staff, you had doggone better be moving some tickets. I suspect that the percentage of partial STHs has risen dramatically, which will sort of make it more like the old days for us lifers. Either way, I just hope the sales cheese managed to shift some form of STH into the row behind me in section 111. Listening to opposing fans for the entire bloody season for the last two seasons got old. Really, really old.

He said it was about $8 million. I don't know if that was the total or just the Canes portion but it's welcome news.

Yeah ... it's the total amount that GFH is kicking in. The total cost without the grant money would have been almost double that, which is why it has taken this long.
