Ben Case: Faulk Selected for All Star Game, Nestrasil Clears Waivers & Lindolm off IR The Canes placed Nestrasil on waivers yesterday and he officially cleared and will be assigned to Charlotte now. Overall, he is a young and solid forward—I was a bit surprised that he cleared and that no one took a chance on him. I imagine that he will be back up with the Canes again this season, however, in the meantime he will definitely help an offensively struggling Checkers team.

I agree that Slavin would have been a better choice but it is still just the All Star game. Slavin is not a flashy player but he is definitely the kind of player you want on your team. Faulk has more flash to his game with that shot of his.

Great win last night. Nice to actual hold a 3rd period lead for once.

3 points out with 2 games in hand...keep it rolling Canes!!!

Let's keep Slavin under the radar as long as we can to keep his salary down. Gonna have some trouble keeping these D together soon.

Sorry for keeping you waiting, decided to switch Part IV and V after last night and looking at what I wanted to say for Part V. Trade blog will be released tomorrow, thought it flowed better to go with the one I released today though. Thanks for reading!

That was my thinking to why Faulk was selected over Slavin. Either one is a great choice.

There will definitely be some cap questions for the Canes in the near future. They have tons of guys who are making major contributions who are on ELC. I think the biggest question with the attendance struggle, is how much is ownership willing to spend and if guys are going to accept bridge deals.

They are starting to learn how to win these games. Thank goodness for learning, as opposed to continuing to repeat mistakes.
