Feels like people are blowing this out of proportion. PK needs game time, we don’t have an AHL affiliate so we needed to find a place for him to go play. This has happened before, Binnington was loaned to Boston’s AHL team the year before his breakout.
We can cal him up whenever we want. Tampa can not play him in the NHL unless they trade for him, which we probably aren’t going to do. Nothing to worry about, just a place for him to get reps. Syracuse has been good at developing players also so it will be beneficial for him in the long run.

Mutually beneficial for us (incl Pyotr) and Tampa. What I’m more interested in is how we handle Caleb Jones, and if he gets reassigned, then who gets the 23rd roster spot

For those unaware this isn’t anything different than if we started him in the AHL this year for the wolves.
Tampa can’t bring him up to the big leagues since he’s on loan as an AHL player, his NHL rights rest with us.
Because Tampa needs to have 2 goalies up they will have to run one of what would be their Crunch goalie in the NHL as backup so Kooch will get to play a real decent amount of games.

good. syracuse has a starting goalie need, not a lot of AHL teams have that so he’ll get some good run.

A lot of misinformation and ignorance about this move. He can be recalled at any point. It’s not a trade. He is still a hurricane and will likely play many games for the canes this year. This is, effectively, no different than his situation would be if we were affiliated with Chicago

I’m still not sold on PK. Great personality, but he’s shown very little for us to think he is the future.

Playing time is always good. I suspect he will be called up to Carolina before the end of the year.
