Eehhh im numb to it.... I know he saved his job with the game 4 win. Will be interesting to see who they aquire in the off season they have draft capital and cap space to make several impact moves.

Unfortunately I doubt that will happen. Coaching will stay the same. Big money stars will not want to come here. We will do well during the season and flame out during the playoffs when we meet a team that can overcome Rods system. We are the Bills of the NHL. We are the "This is fine" meme of the NHL.

It’s clear as day why we lost. The series best players were floridas. By 8 people before you get to Aho. And the worst 9 were all canes players. Worst being Orlov.

For future reference, the good stuff ain't "white". If it's white it's cut to death. You're looking for pearly, almost shimmery looking chunks not powder. I used to be a wild motherfuger when I was young. LOL

gives a good update on the Saints salary cap situation. While it gets better, but their dead money situtation is frightening, and will continue for another 2-3 seasons. and this little excerpt about the Falcons is pretty much Falconing: Some of the worst decisions franchises can make come when the team's incentives aren't aligned with the people who work for the team. Seven years removed from their last winning season and with a quarterback who has all of three career starts under center in Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons should not be all-in. There are reasons to be optimistic about what the future might hold, sure, but they were not one player away this offseason. General manager Terry Fontenot, though, might have been one player away from having a new job. After the disastrous, virtually inexplicable decision to guarantee Kirk Cousins $90 million in March 2024 and draft Penix a month later, and its natural conclusion with Cousins being benched by the end of his first year in Atlanta, the clock has been ticking on Fontenot's time with the Falcons. With the former Saints executive batting about 1-for-8 (Drake London) on his Day 1 and 2 picks in 2021 and 2022, it seems as if Atlanta is treading water. He is only the seventh GM since 2000 to start his career with four losing seasons and get a shot at turning things around in Year 5. good summary on what we did, including this part " Carolina Panthers The superlative: Most likely to have definitely solved their problem this time, for sure Unlike the Falcons, the Panthers seem insistent on addressing their weak spot every single offseason. Since trading DJ Moore to the Bears as part of the deal for Bryce Young in 2023, Carolina has thrown asset after asset at wide receiver in an attempt to get its young quarterback some playmakers. Its moves for veterans have produced mixed results: Adam Thielen has been a reliably solid option and averaged a team-high 1.9 yards per route run over the past two seasons, but Diontae Johnson's brief run will probably be remembered only by obsessive Immaculate Grid users. The draft is where the Panthers have focused their efforts. After drafting Jonathan Mingo in 2023, Xavier Legette in 2024 and Tetairoa McMillan last month, they have invested top-40 picks on wide receivers in three consecutive drafts. They're the first team to do that in 20 years, but even they haven't gone to the heights that the 2003-05 Lions did: Detroit used three top-10 picks to add Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and Mike Williams. Two years later, the Lions added a fourth who stuck around slightly longer -- future Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson. The Lions went 1-for-3 at best with those three consecutive picks in the top 10. The Panthers are on pace to go 0-for-2. Mingo was dealt to the Cowboys before the end of his second season. Legette averaged a middling 1.3 yards per route run as a rookie, ranked 134th in ESPN's receiver score and generated 104 receiving yards below what an average receiver would have done with the same targets in 2024, per NFL Next Gen Stats, the 17th-worst mark in the league. It's perfectly reasonable to be patient with Legette and see what he can do in 2025, but it's also realistic to point out that he wasn't an impact player as a rookie. His most notable moment was dropping what would have potentially been a winning touchdown reception to beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles. The Panthers will hope McMillan makes more of an instant impact. It's clear they're attempting to build a bully-ball group of receivers by adding Mingo (6-foot-2, 220 pounds), Legette (6-3, 227 pounds) and Jalen Coker (6-3, 213 pounds), an undrafted free agent who arguably outplayed Legette last season. At 6-4, McMillan is another big target for Young. At Arizona, McMillan was consistently able to leverage that frame into making tough catches. His massive catch radius and ability to create after bringing in the ball would be huge pluses for the Carolina offense if they translate quickly to the pro level. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45318618/2025-nfl-offseason-nfc-teams-best-worst-deals-contracts-draft-picks-superlatives

https://x.com/erictulsky/status/1928121832063873422?s=46 major props to Tulsky. Without him, we don’t have a roster of guys to make the playoffs. Let’s see what he does with an actual 30 mil

It makes alot of sense for us to pick him up, I'm sure we won't do it

I mean he played half the season, so your mileage may vary on touting how much he actually contributed.

Moton aint getting restructured, yall need to let this go. And I really dont see any value adding a declining player with a huge cap hit that we would probably cut after the season. Not sure why we would restructure a huge deal for a 32 year old corner. It just doesnt make sense. Morgan has been clear about kicking the proverbial can down the road. And if you think Ramsey is the missing piece that is going to unlock our defense and help challenge for the division then we can just agree to disagree at that point. 2026 is the season we should take bigger swings. 2025 is about culture and getting our existing players reps and hopefully wins.

Pink cocaine. AKA "Tusi". Not even cocaine at all. Usually a mix of MDMA (molly), ketamine (special K), and a banned ED drug.

If there is a razor blade involved, I’m guessing it’s classic coke.

Some of our glorious huddlers have the memory of a goldfish buried in a sea of pessimism & forgetfulness....

I was looking more at the 8 game angle then the actual play. But yeah he was a stud, when he played

Jalen Ramsey would play CB & FS here imo. He won't have any guaranteed money after this year. That is really the only thing that would have been a hold up. As long as we can work out something to make the cap hit palatable for this year (and only give up a Day 3 pick), it seems like a no-brainer. We have plenty of cap, especially if they restructure Moton. Ramsey's contract could be restructured for next year if he works out, or he could be like Gilmore and basically a one-year rental for a 6th. Regardless, either scenario would be worthwhile imo. The idea that this would be cost-prohibitive or not fit the timeline is nonsense. Make it happen Dan!

Rods not going anywhere nor should he. The Canes do need a good power play coach. Several players need to retire or go and be replaced with younger or better players. Thanks to Burns, Orlov, Staal, but they should retire. KK needs to go elsewhere he might be a better fit, we need a legit 2C. The GM needs to make selections that are a good fit for the Canes- no more Rantanen mistakes. Lots of cap space to improve this team. https://x.com/joeovies/status/1926003494693024007?s=46

Yes https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2021/12/16/panthers-stephon-gilmore-pff-coverage/79988017007/

Was he for us though?

Gilmore was pretty good though

The only ones spewing that crap were the coaches themselves trying to soften an underperfmance

Slow news day

I mean, technically, couldn't he PLAY safety?

You aren't taking into account that the cap is expected to increase 8 or 9 million or so for the 2026-2027 season. Also NHL cap space doesnt roll over so there is no "saving" cap even if the cap wasn't increasing (which it is) you could still sign players with that money for one year deals So stop spewing BS cap metrics that you are almost never correct about.

I don't get the overachieved thing, start of the season the Canes were 10th odds for winning the cup. After the second Mikko trade they were top 3 to win the Cup.

One of the safeties would honestly make the most sense. Ramsey is the big splash name but a plug and play decent starting safety is a bigger need than a 30 year old mega money CB. Especially after we just made Horn the highest paid DB on the league.
