Good thing we didn't let Ginn walk for peanuts while improving our arch rival and hampering our own offense.

Oh wait....

Letting Gin go was not bad. Not going after some decent wr for depth was. Getting a wr that was a 5th wr off another team that wasn' necessarily loaded at wrs was.  This Gin thing is a dead horse he wasn' worth top wr money. Byrd and Samuel are Ginns replacement its just that injuries well you know hurt.

In hindsight letting Ginn go was certainly a mistake but one that couldn't really be foreseen at the time. Ginn was terrible everywhere else he had ever been and Cam made him look amazing. His inconsistency and drops hurt us a ton though and we wanted better. Byrd and Samuel have both showed a ton of promise to replace Ginn and both got hurt. Can't blame anyone for injuries.

Yeah man, Ginn sure looks atrocious in NO right now. What was I thinking.

Samuel is made of glass and Byrd was buried on our depth chart by our genius head coach.

There was virtually no downside to signing him to a 2 year deal for depth at the very least while we brought along younger guys.

Some of you guys can convince yourselves of anything. Geez.

      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.

      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.
