After Brindy’s interview with Gold, I’m trying to figure out why the Canes didn’t try to have the trade rescinded or move him immediately. He told the canes right away that he didn’t want to play here and would only sign an extension with four teams.

The more that comes out about Mikko, the worse he looks.

It said Panthers were done for the day but it’s been deleted.

Crazy first day of free agency for the Panthers.

They setting up the draft for Jalon Walker. He’s their target as things stand right now.

Setting up the draft for Jalon Walker.

Canes announced that if you bought a mikko jersey that they will replace the nameplate for free up til August 31st.

He got the deal cause going into camp, he will be listed as the starting TE. Eeeek

Last note, he said in a pre game interview that he made his decision to not resign in Carolina last week.

He’s going to be given the chance to be a top 3 forward and a top line PP player here in Carolina for the rest of the season. Still under term for this year and next, then rfa for 2026 based on data from puck and sporttrac. so he’s definitely got a chance.

Some interesting tidbits from Friedman. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sources-hurricanes-asked-for-maple-leafs-marner-in-rantanen-deal/

Some of what the players said plus the new lines with the new players at practice.

Everyone is saying that the Panthers will be one of the most active and aggressive teams in free agency. so i expect a few big signings very early

Just to add this. what I heard was correct, they did talk to Mikko and his agent prior to the Colorado trade and got feedback that he would accept a contract from Carolina. Friedman confirmed it on his podcast.

Yep also makes what I’ve heard from friends around the team make a ton of sense. It was totally off ice and it was recent decision not to sign, they just got in town recently with the GF and bam, decided not to sign with Carolina. They talked to him and his camp pre Colorado deal and they said he would sign and gave Carolina the price. Carolina met the price and pretty much immediately offered it to him. So yeah, totally the GF not liking the area. Oh well, how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

It was the girlfriend.

Knowing the teams that got approved… that makes sense. A lot of sense.

Word is it wasn’t on the ice mostly, it was the area once he got to be around for a week or so that he informed the team that not only would he not sign before the deadline but that he wasn’t interested in signing with Carolina at all.

I couldn’t deal with the it being 88-92 between 10pm-4am weather in the summer with highs in the 100’s with indexes over 120 regularly and the high 70-80’s during the winter months regularly feels weird. lol story time. I moved in late 2016 as a non diabetic and 6 months later had an A1C of 13.8 because the heat was making me dehydrated and I couldn’t drink enough water to keep up with how my body reacted to it.

Necas and Drury were never staying and everyone thought this season was going to be an off year because of all the changes and player losses in free agency. they took a shot with two players that didn’t want to be here for a superstar level player who ended up not liking the area. So all in all they traded Necas and Drury and a 2nd and fourth for Hall, Stankoven, 26&28 first round picks and 26&27 third round picks. The two firsts are top ten protected in 26&28 but unprotected in 27&29 if Dallas happens to be bad enough to pick in the top ten those two years. however they did turn down a deal with the leafs. It was Minten, Cowan and two firsts.
