So is the coaching staff here to stay?

Yeah it's my bet that Pastor Bill is here for the long hall.

He's finally installed his system and has the players playing his system. My bet is that in free agency we'll see more "hard worker/medium skill" type signings than "high skill/average worker" type players.

Steve Smith also has the PK and defense playing at a high level.

Wardo and Dobby look good under coach Dan and Brindy has made us into one of the top face off teams in the league.

What I'm worried about is that we push so hard that we don't get McDavid, Eichel, Strome, or Hanifin, and we end up starting the season off slow again next year.

I sure as hell hope so. we have a talent deficit on this team, or at least we did for most of the first half, but they were a tough out every night. had a lot of trouble scoring goals, and had a lot of 1 goal losses. they look a lot more in control than I've seen a canes team play in a long time. this staff can make a legit contender.

You guys make the coaching staff of one of the worst teams in the league sound way better than what their record indicates. Why is there such disconnect? I think if they were that good, they'd at least have a middle of the pack record.

It took him a while to install his system but once the players bought in the team as a whole has performed well.

The team has played really well since Christmas and since Jordan Staal came back.

Ok well it looked like they were getting hot then went right back to sucking. Are they still safe?

I think he gets one more season, if the team isn't in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline next season, you'll see a full on fire sale and the team will decided to start over with a new era. not involving the Staals.

With Eichel and McDavid in the draft, that's what should have happened THIS season, but the Canes managed to play their way right out of striking distance.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
