Per JR Tlusty will report to Albany but he expects him to be ready for the NHL team next season where as Paradis was still years away. Sounds like a trade to start stocking the farm for next years squad.

At first I was all, WTF?!?! Then I thought about it, did some research, looked at some stats and now I'm all...ooohhhh. Makes some kind of sense. LOL I just wonder, why now? I get that JR has been making calls and all and this probably came up in conversation but way to fake the Caniacs out! We're all sitting around waiting for something major, waiting for vets to start hitting the trail for prospects and picks and then I get a tweet that says "Tlusty to Carolina, more details to follow". I was going through my head "who would TO want? Who are we giving away?"

And then I find out it's Paradis, someone not even under contract and that we've only seen in Conditioning Camp and the Prospect Tourney. *sigh*

I'm beginning to think JR enjoys doing these things to us! LOL

Yeah, the 30th team in the league makes a trade with the 29th team.

REAL BIG MOVE THERE, JR. WAY TO FAKE US OUT.

I was definately all WTF at first, but it does seem to make some sense now. But still...JR confuses me.
