honestly I would not be upset if we tanked the rest of the season and tried to wind up in the lottery. This team desperately needs a superstar. 


Although that makes sense I don't know how a team this talented can tank. They won't purposefully lose. We will continue to finish the season with extremely disappointing and lazy losses while sprinkling in great wins against decent (not great) teams. Our roster is built for mediocrity this year.

agreed and that's kind of the problem- we've doomed ourself. 

Fans in Charlotte would hate it but damn I wish we had Sam Hinkie.

At this point the only way we could tank would be completely blowing up the team. I'm talking apocalypse style renovation of the roster. Kemba, Batum, Zeller, MKG, basically anybody with a contract that goes past this year needs to be shipped off for picks/young talent. And as much as we currently suck I don't think that is a feasible solution. Maybe if we could just ship off Batum for a talented young player (Okafor from the 76ers maybe?). We would still suck but we would have more cap room to reboot this offseason and a young piece to pair with Kemba.

Yeah because being in the lottery has helped us in the past. It doesn't matter where we pick when we have a gm that doesn't even know anything about the sport of hoop ball

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
