Addition by subtraction

On paper this looks like a bad move. But I will never forget how frustrating KB was with inconsistent effort and could easily disappear for an entire game. Not to mention that he was soft, and did fug all in run blocking.  For a big guy he didn't know how to use his body and only ran two routes. I am glad we're trying to give others a chance, especially Funchess who works hard and Shepherd who can be serviceable. I am also excited to see Samuel get more targets.  It may not work but you can't tell me this offense was clicking or that you were willing to sign KB to a second contract.  My only wish is that we would have gotten more in return. 

It is so funny to hear the national media pundits and other fan bases act like KB is some star receiver. They have clearly only seen the highlights and don't realize just how limited he really was on the field.

Lol at “soft” and “doesn’t know how to use his body” then says he’s glad we’re given Funchess a chance who “works hard”. 

Cant make this stuff up.

Did you see Funchess in some of those gif’s Jeremy posted from Chicago?

Oh and FYI Funchess has more targets than KB this year. He’s had plenty of chances

If by addition you mean the additional years of Star and Norwell we get by making this trade then I'm onboard with you. Kelvin had a salary of $8.5 mil next with on his 5th year option.

This is the only silver lining I can find...  But with this front office, I can see us not resigning Star and Norwell for god knows what reason

What he said... I think KB was crippling this offense more than helping.

KB was playing smaller than he was. If he used his body or ran routes better he would be unguarded. I think it's fair to criticize the move without bringing in someone else, but to act like KB was world class is ludicrous.

    • 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.
