I don’t know enough about him but I’ve heard he kind of is a one year wonder. Is this true USC fans?

He showed flashes in 2022 and especially the bowl game but was overshadowed in the regular season by Juice Wells. He also credits his work with Deebo in the offseason as having a huge impact on his game. He may be a one year wonder by metrics but it was all due to hardwork and development and not so much of a fluke. 

Been a Canes fan as long as I can remember. Been to a few games in Florida in 2007ish but finally going to my first home game on the 21st against the Flyers with my stepdad (Flyers fan). Any advice on parking for fairly cheap? Any other tips?

Lol, we now have a coochie and a kooze

 Just need a guy whose name begins with Vag.

Andrei Vagilevskiy

Word this morning is they are still trying to make a deal for scoring help. Buch and Vat are apparently still in the conversation. 

Either of those guys would be great. Vatrano costs less in cap space and both have an additional year. Would give us 3 legitimate lines with Drury and Staal being the weakest links. 

What are we thinking, are we done? I wish there was a 2C out there we could make a play on but so far Lindholm is the only decent C I’ve seen available. 

Not sure if it was mentioned but the first is dependent on us making the Finals. If no Finals, it becomes the Flyers 2nd. I’m very impressed with Waddell on this one. 
 

Now go get us a 2C.

I’d rather give up quantity and a 1st rounder.

Bunting, Suzuki, Rees, and a 1st rounder.

I just can’t see that getting it done. Probably takes at least one of the guys in the tier below Nikishin. 

Please no Necas

Did I just log on the Dr. Phil web page?? Just kidding, glad y'all talked it out - now on to the Canes, I think the revenge signing of KK is why we are in this mess now, major mistake by Donny. Let's hope he corrects this before the deadline.

Agreed with KK signing setting us back. Also sitting on our hands and not upgrading G and 1C anytime over the past 5 years.  Those have been holes essentially since EStaal and Cam Ward. 
I would have really liked to see what the conversation was like around Pettersson.

I am very familiar. I should have said, “When the Canes are as bad again(Hopefully never) as the Panthers are right now”. My fault for putting “as long” since the Canes were bad for almost 10 years. But Panthers are getting there, lol. 

Gotcha. I wish one of my teams would just have long term sustained success. The only team that gives me that right now is Gamecock Women’s Basketball. And as great as that is…it’s women’s basketball. lol

When the Canes are bad for as long as the Panthers have been we’ll see how long this forum supposedly stays tight. 
Only reason the Panthers forum is the way it is is because the Panthers have been bad for a long time. 
 

You must not be familiar with the 2009-2018 stretch of Hurricanes hockey. 

Is this the greatest team ever assembled? More at 11

Good news about Mitch. Haven’t been impressed with him. But also not impressed by that list of names either. 

I forgot what good passing looked like. This is a completely different team.

PJ will probably be gone soon

Maybe. Dallas has been tied to him the most and just traded for Daniel Gafford. 

Let him build up some strength and put some playmakers around him and he will be a superstar. 

He will definitely get better as he gets stronger. He doesn’t have the quickness to generate space so he will improve when he can absorb contact better. 
He also needs a primary ball handler to work off of. He’s so good off the ball and not ONLY having to create for himself. Lamelo is the only one who can do that for him consistently but I also agree with other posters that I’m not sold yet on Melo’s long term future. 

I swear every time I pay attention I see Bozeman on the ground.  

Oh they scared

I remember when Blaine Gabbert over Cam was a thing. 

No idea why Fitterer didn’t get a big RB at the trade deadline. We can’t get 1 yard when we need it. [We just failed to score a TD from the 1 as I type]. BY + Chubba/Sanders/Blackshear can’t get it done.
