One of my best friends got to observe the procedure and it just ended a few minutes ago. Everything went well but the performing doc said he'd def miss all of this year and gave an eta of 9 months to a year.

One odd notable fact was that since he was so large they had a hard time locking down the operating table and it was not as balanced as they normally like for it to be.

Anyways... I dont think this news comes as a shock to anyone... still, it certainly sucks.

one of the team doctors for the Panthers says that ortho guys always overestimate so A: they don't look bad if complications arise and B: so that when they make a miraculous comeback it looks better on them. When Carson Palmer went down, the doctor who did the surgery said it was going to be a 15 month recovery when the tendon wasn't even fully torn and Carson was back six months later lol

but yeah, Kemo is done with the team. He's 31 and has a huge roster bonus coming up next year. Sorry big guy, thanks for the memories.

I was thinking something similar. I think we've seen Kemo in a Panthers jersey for the last time. I don't think he'll come back from this.

Palmer had surgery Tuesday in Houston. Doctors used grafts from other parts of his body and donated tissue to fix the damage during an operation that lasted more than two hours. Palmer headed back to California on Thursday to do his rehabilitation.

do you ever get tired of being wrong

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
