How does a thing like this get discovered? Would Samuel have reported some sort of symptoms to the trainer, or are players regularly hooked up to EKGs? Is it possible that this is a chronic issue he'd been managing with medicine that they finally decided needed a surgical intervention?

Can’t speak to how players are evaluated, but I have been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.  I brought it up after some chest pain when exercising.  He could have brought it up, if it’s anything similar it is noticable.  That being said an EKG told me all is fine but maybe with a professional athlete they wanted to make sure.  Again, I don’t play sports for a living so who knows.

Sorry but you're not. I'm double boarded in medicine and here's a quick snippet

3 months is a reasonable timeframe to wait in someone already on AC to make sure they stay converted particularly if they are pAF to begin with. If a patient came to me with a history of stroke and documented conversion to sinus post-ablation, though, I wouldn't have any problem taking them off AC and certainly wouldn't start them on it if they weren't already on it.

When I gave medical opinion,  I was corrected by the arm chair cardiologist ;)

Not an armchair cardiologist, just a neurologist that has seen many hundreds of strokes and managed a lot of AF from that side of the picture.

      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.

      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.
