So it looks like we'll have Panthers' satellite teams upstate and in the Big Apple haha

....but...I wouldn't put much stock in Wilks.  He's an easy target for outsiders to connect dots with but DG didn't pick the coaches that were in place when he arrived.  This is his first chance at that. 

from his stint here I was under the impression he had no say in who the coaches were...

No GM in the league has any say in assistant coaches.

GMs hire head coaches. Head coaches hire assistants.

Gettleman was asked to keep Rivera initially but has the power to fire him afterward. Since they got along well and the team was winning, there was no reason.

I really don't either. McDermott fielded a better defense with about the same tools. Wilks is the reason why NO has beat up on us. 

NO has always beat up on us. No matter how good we have been since Ron has been here. Without a bunch of injuries most of the games end up being shootouts.

Wilks has only been a coordinater for a year, and has the defense in the top 10. Top 10 with a secondary that’s not very good. People preach on how it would be foolish to give up on players or coaches after a year, what makes this situation different 

Y'all underestimate how much of that defense is Ron

      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

      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.
