The best thing JR can do for his legacy now is to utilize is  wealth. The best thing for that is to have it all at his disposal before he passes. All this talk of holding on is based on? What? It's not like it took much for him to put the team for sale. He put it in to motion without any pressure to do do. He didn't put up the faintest fight to keep it 

Technically it took a sexual harassment scandal.

General consensus from people who cover the team is that Richardson agreed to sell in order to avoid NFL investigation. Then the NFL decided to investigate anyway. 

That's why some wonder what his relationship with the league is like right now. Richardson might have expected  some "quid pro quo" for everything he feels he's done for the league, but he didn't get it.

Regardless, he obviously doesn't have the power to say "let me take five or ten years to think about it". The league wants the stink associated with this scandal to go away, and in today's day and age they don't have the kind of power to make it disappear that they used to.

The sale is going to happen. I suspect we'll have a new owner in time for training camp or by the season opener at the latest.

      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.
