Does Rivera have a chance at staying another year?

I'd love to see Ron gone at the end of the season. None of the players are buying into his dumb strategies, and none of the fans with more than an ounce of brain cells are buying his "lack of execution" spiel he repeats every week. Any coach that adequately prepares his team most weeks can say "they didn't execute" when their team blows a popcorn fart every once in a while. When you have to say "they didn't execute" every single week, the whole gameplan is fuging bunk.

If the team basically loses out or finishes 5-10-1 at best that's when things are going to get interesting because we're going to see just how committed JR is to winning, and if he doesn't give his infallible blessing to Gettleman to cut the crap off of the team (namely, Ron and his stooge assistants), we're going to have our answer.

Wasn't the Rivera extension Big Dave's first major move as GM? Between that and Richardson being.. uh.. frugal, I don't think Rivera is going anywhere for a while. If we're very lucky, Shula might get sacrificed, but I don't think I'd even put money on that. Too many baked-in excuses for this shitshow season with personnel and money being what they are.

    • 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.
    • 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.
