Gotta imagine we will be shopping for ILB after preseason cuts

Lol, the one guy that has probably had more concussions than Jewell...

Literally don't even know who we have left at ILB outside of Tevin Wallace. Hope we find someone decent on waivers

SJ overpaid because they have to hit the cap floor. Burns played well in the Washington and FL series, but overall did not look good last year. Colorado is a good place for him to be a 3rd line LD, which is what he probably should have been for us

Now if we could somehow find a way to get rid of KK, It will be the best off-season in a long time

Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

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

It's gotta be kelvin Benjamin after he hit 300 pounds

It's crazy how much buffalo loves our sloppy seconds. That being said, I wish Shaq the best. He's been a good dude stuck with a crappy team for most of his time here

I think most people figured that would be the case. Colts got suckered into ARs athleticism when the dude is just an awful decision maker. Not surprised he is looking like the next JaMarcus Russell

Even at his worst - the one thing Bryce did a great job of was avoiding big hits. When he scrambles, he's very smart about getting out of bounds/going down at the right time

Based on how we looked on defense without him, Chatty has to be up there on the list

Sucks because he was a big part of why the Marty-Staal-Fast line was so elite defensively. Enjoy retirement Fast

I mean... Pretty sure Morrow being on the ice alone accounted for a lot of Florida's +. Throw in orlovs terrible turnovers and there's about half of the goals Florida scored just between the two of them.

Ideal lineup for next year for me: Jarvy-Aho-Ehlers (5 yr, 8.25 mill AAV) Svech-Duchene-Hall (2 yr, 6 mill AAV) Stank-Staal-Marty Blake-Kotkaniemi/Jankowski*-Carrier *Would love it if we could somehow get out of KK's contract (even if we have to trade away a draft pick), but don't think we will Slavin-Provorov (6 yr, 7.25 mill AAV) Nikishin-Chatty Ghost-Walker Freddie Kooch Luckily we have our core 4 (Aho, Jarvy, Svech, Slavin) locked up long-term. We definitely need to start thinking about extensions for Stank and Chatty and likely Blake if he is in our future plans.

And he has been our 2nd line C for most of the playoffs when the guy probably isn't good enough to be a 4th line C. We truly need a top-tier C to be 2nd line C.

I don't think we are having Morrow start in our top 6 next year unless free agency goes truly awful for us. Our front office (or at least Rod) would rather have Burns than Morrow

He looked fine on his off side IMO. Could switch Provorov and Nikishin if need be

Slavin-Nikishin Provorov-Chatty Ghost-Walker Don't resign burns

Crap, completely missed chatty in there

Luckily we won't have orlov on this team next year. If we do keep burns, he needs to not be on the top line (although he did play a very good game four and five in the series). We have to get second line scoring and at least another top 4 D in the off season. Wouldn't mind getting Provorov and our defense looking like this - I know he is a LD, but he is a lefty. Slavin-Nikishin Burns-Provorov Ghost-Walker Forwards will be tougher because we desperately need a top six C, but it would be really nice to get Ehlers.

The better question is why are you here? You literally only exist to talk crap about Carolina pro teams. Very weird with how much of a small market we are

Florida is unreal defending a lead in the third period. This isn't the devils or caps - we aren't winning unfortunately

Last year was much more inexcusable. I'm not surprised we are having defensive breakdowns when we have defensive liabilities at half of our defense positions (orlov, ghost, Morrow) and are having to play slavin and burns like 30ish minutes in these games. This series was definitely over once Chatty couldn't play (and probably would have still been even if he was 100% healthy)
