Don't know much about Mesidor other than watching Miami play a couple of games in the college playoff. If he's that old already what is the logic behind drafting him in R1?? If you do that he had better be instantly getting 6+ sacks in year 1.

A goon that probably won't be one of our top 12 forwards. Might be brought in if we need physicality or when playing dirty teams like the Panthers

Who?

Hurricanes acquire Nicolas Deslauriers For a conditional 7th round pick.

Not what I meant, I meant they are trading for a bottom 6 forward to replace KK because he's being traded to NY in the Trocheck deal.

I swear to God if Talsky hits us this afternoon that we like our group I wouldn’t be shocked if this team gets assed in the playoffs again. It’s got no balls sometimes.

Troch isn’t bottom level. Prob some depth

Decker had a bad 2025, but could be worth a look as a stop gap

Gary from Greenbay will definitely get a look from Dan. He's leaving the Packers

Hurricanes working on a move for a bottom 6 forward. Maybe signaling that the Trocheck for KK and draft picks plus a prospect deal is still on the table.

While I'm not opposed to it and do like Blankenship, I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. There are a few cover 1/cover 2 zone type of safeties I like in the draft I think we can get in the mid rounds (Kilgore, Wheatley, Genesis Smith, Clark). I would rather see our money be used at short term LT, edge, 3-tech DT, or LB personally.

If you want to listen to pure comedy, tune into 99.9 the fan in Raleigh. Adam Gold is $hitting all over the fanbase for wanting the GM to make a move. It’s borderline dick riding. Be happy with what you have kinda thing. FWIW, I like Adam Gold, but he is on his typical heater

Last I've heard the Hurricanes have been backing out of deals if the other team isn't willing to take kk in the deal. The Pettersson deal fell apart because of it and maybe even the Trocheck deal as well.

When I was younger I would've been excited about this lol; now that I'm older I just want our guys to come out of this game and preseason as a whole 100% healthy. Hopefully some of the camp fodder guys get some great reps though.

2 hours to go. So is it “We like what we got” from us?

He disappeared behind odunze and burden quite frequently, not surprised they traded him.

If I was giannis I would want to play with kon ball and miller.

Svech

No trade finalized they know they ARE trading him but haven't decided who.

Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing. I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.

DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

I have considered free agency. LT? Either not good enough or too expensive. Besides, this is a good OT draft. (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions). What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay? Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m. How much do we already have invested in our OL? I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season. We don't have a center yet. Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive. If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go. We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable. You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.

Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?
