Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.

Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages. Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams. Moore has a nice smile and can dance. He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players. I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent. Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man? Good luck with that. AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing. He can specialize in situational football. Coker? Just getting started. XL? Just getting started. Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow? I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn? Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game. I hear that Morgan loves him.

Burns at 5-6 seems....a little aggressive.

That’s a wrap!

It's going to be: N4lo Legette AT Hunter Coker Horn Moore IMO will be a vet PS option, similar to Matthews, and Boone last year.

Burns expected back on a 1 year deal worth 5-6m. Ehlers rumors again pointing at a signing in Carolina. CBS predicts Granlund will sign with the Canes. Day 1 of FA should be pretty crazy.

Exactly.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45603859/ducks-send-g-gibson-red-wings-g-mrazek-draft-picks I mean....this feels like a trade we could have made.

I guess we are trying to get a bulk discount on English classes for Nikishin?

Pretty good write up on one of our four 2nd round picks...

Tulsky's secret algorithm:

Do you play in Russia? Great, you're odds of being a Hurricane went way up! Lmao

Is our goal to keep trading back and manage to get every draft pick in the 7th round...

I have very low and I mean very low expectations for Evero’s scheme. It’s a better roster overall for him to leave Jaycee on one side of the field and the safeties out to dry due to zero QB pressure. Spoiler: I don’t like the scheme.

I wouldn't trade Svech for the best FA on the market, Marner included. Matter of fact, someone would be giving up a top line scorer and a couple draft picks for Svech. Look at it this way, if Svech was a UFA in a couple days, what does his contract look like? That'll tell you everything you need to know.

I know it a real homer take but Im not sure Id slam dunk take that list over Smitty. Smith just played a different way, he had an ability to just take over a game as a matter of will. The catch against the giants where he caught it and took a helmet that broke his arm mid air, the games against DeAngelo Hall, 05 Bears playoffs, Ice Up Son, the revenge game against us. Those other WRs may have better stat books but love him or hate him, good guy or bad, Smith just played a different game and when he did look out.

Absolutely would have to be anther young scorer with either ELC time or a long term contract... Could see maybe Kyrou or Robertson.... But I really just dont see him being traded you dont trade your leading post season scorer on a long term deal when he isn't even in his prime yet.. not to mention unless you get more than one of those guys at best it would be lateral with unknown team chemistry.

was driving down a two lane rural highway this morning as was reminded of this thread. Minding my own going 60 in the 55. This massive Chevy rolls up behind me so close all I see is grill. Along comes a passing zone and M firm in the right lane. Does doofus drop over and pass me? Nope he backs off to a solid 2 second separation. 500 feet after the passing zone you can imagine where he was. Back up my ass.

Ouch yet another trade back.

If Svech is being traded, the package coming back the other way would be worth it. I don't think our FO would do it otherwise.

Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski down there, i actually really love our 4th line. We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade. Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson. As far as centers go, Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already) Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available. At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center... yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket. Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
