camp body? I don't get to see too much UNC football (am stuck in SEC country) so what do ya'll think of this move? Does he have a chance of unseating CAP, or is that not his "style" of running?

I see zero reason why he can't compete with Fozzy or CAP.

This is a fantastic move. I wrote about this in the other thread but Hood has a ton of talent. He was off and on hurt at UNC which really seemed to hurt his draft stock, further he came out in a loaded RB class when he really could have used an extra season in school. 

Throw in the fact that this guy is PS eligible and sign me up, his upside is that he could be our back of the future next to CMC.

A seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft, Hood spent most of his rookie year on the Raiders' practice squad. He did dress for one game but only played eight special teams snaps in a Week 8 loss at Buffalo.

More than that.

Easily could outcompete Fozzy; toe to toe with CAP

      Fire Rod

      I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.

      And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
