Yeah, I think we need to sign this guy just on principle and take our chances with the whole headcase thing. Might help to have one of his former defensive line-mates here in Louis Leonard?

Either way, sign him and cross your fingers - we're in desperate enough need that it's a risk worth taking.

As I understand waivers, teams have to abide by the order of the previous year's finish. In that case we are one of the last teams...essentially at the end of the line. This means 20+ other teams have to pass these guys up in order to reach us in the waiver process.

I'm not sure that many players worth a flip will make it to us.

if so we have some headcases on the team already....cough cough steve smith

No dispute that we have some. You find a way to make it work if they bring elite talent AND you have a way of controlling the impact in the locker room. You don't take the chance for a marginal/mediocre talent.

They've got roster spots and need help at the DT position. The guy has an attitude but as others have said, he wouldn't be the first person on our team with one. Between Jon Beason calling out his teammates and Steve Smith assaulting them, the coaches might be able to handle the guy. Worst case we cut him and are back where we started.

Seriously, what are we going to do, go sign two more running backs to complete the roster? This move makes so much sense.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      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.
