The draft is today and we have the second overall pick.

Please let it be Svechnikov.

Hoping to see some trades as well.  Skinner, Faulk, Lindholm, and Hanifin have been rumored to be in play.  I'm thinking Skinner and Faulk are likely gone, but maybe not tonight.

I'm hoping not.  I think Lindholm has a decent chance at progressing to a solid two-way 2nd line center.  He's a RFA and asking for more than 5 million a year.  Hopefully, this is just a negotiating ploy by his agent.

No it's not, based on his stats hes worth a 5 year 25m deal plus he'll be the youngest ufa in nhl history in 2 years. So a 5 year deal eating up his unrestricted years at 5m is a good deal for both parties. Team and his agent met today and it went badly from leaked reports. Hurricanes are way off on pay and not budging from their 4.2m a year stance with Lindholm. 

 

 

I'm hoping that TD proves me wrong but so far he's done everything as cheap as possible and with word about lindholm over 800k a year and Skinner, Faulk, and other reports that's hes going to do this as cheap as possible and barely hit the floor and not try to build a winning team to compete for championships but just playoffs. I have a feeling we'll start to see a lot of changeover among players.

We agree. I think a 5 million dollar contract would be about right. After the Rask contract, the Canes are kind of stuck on contract negotiations. He’s worth much more than Rask. However, I don’t think he’s worth more than 5.1. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.

Having Svechnikov and Necas along with the potential of having Zykov and Foegele both making the full-time jump is really exciting.

As for Lindholm, I'd love to keep him. I think Bill Peter's system hampered him and we will regret trading him.

Justin Faulk on the other hand can take a hike for all I care. He's been horrible the past two years.

As far as Skinner, I'm indifferent, sometimes he shows you why he was a top 10 pick and other times you are left scratching your head.

Hanifin should be in no trade discussion whatsoever unless we are getting a 1C back.

Ive been tired of Faulk for years. Glad to see we didn't screw this draft pick up though. Things may be looking up afterall.

First round has been pretty boring. Although I’ll take it as long as we have Svechnikov. 

I'm not going to complain, at least they didnt fug up the pick by trading back or something stupid. I also think Svechnikov ends up being the best pro from the draft.

Pretty damn early to say this but Svechnikov reminds me of Jagr. Canes got a total stud, and I think he'll be a better pick than Dahlin when all is said and done. Could be a franchise changer. Badly need a goalie now though.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
