Unless something is official (from the player himself or Schloss), I wouldn't put 100% stock in it anyway. Blake was supposed to have signed with Carolina on Monday and we are still waiting for it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a social media idiot, so I'm sincere here.  What is a back channel in modern social media setting?  Someone published to a person who then contacted you? Again, I'm not questioning the accuracy of your statement--just wanting to understand the process. Mostly because a shyt ton of the information we consume moves in manners similar to that.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Berg was drafted in summer 2021 (NYI). If he stays, -22, -23, -24, -25, that's four seasons after being drafted; he'd be a rookie UFA. Berg kinda has NYI by the 'short and curlies' like Blake has CAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It would be a gut punch to lose either Blake or Berg. Losing both would really hurt. Like about two gut punches worth. You hope that part of the payoff of getting a player who isn't a first-round draft pick is having him stay that extra year (or two)...whatever that means for a particular player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 While we await Blake and Berg, the staff had better be working the phones. Assume Swanson, Boisvert, and Croal incoming: There's still Emerson's slot to fill plus the outcome of the Blake and Berg decisions. Even if you assume in Littler (for Emerson) you could still have two slots! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is because he'll become an UFA next year so there was some assumption he was signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
