It's sad to see him go but it was always gonna happen, right? It's time for wee Scotty to spread his wings and.... okay, nevermind, let's just agree that he's earned a shot at being an NHL starting goalie.
Which isn't a certainty in Carolina, what with Cam Ward (61 starts and a career 'Cane) and Eddie Lack (20 starts) as incumbents out in Charlotte or Raleigh or wherever the hell they play. However, neither of those blokes set the world afire this season and either of them and their relatively cap-friendly $3 million-ish salaries could fetch a third-liner or a second-pairing D-man. I expect that Darling will get his shot at the very least.
WE GET a 3rd Round Pick in the 2017 draft, which ain't at all bad considering The Hawks lacked the cap space to resign him themselves. Almost something for nothing, really.
Anyway, all the best to you, Scott, and we'll see you in the 2020 Finals.
