It's a win for sure. We've got cap room, idk why it's so hard to sign Ferland. My guess is Dundon isn't as open with his wallet as he said he was going to be. Not that I want to throw money all over but to me he's better all around than Lindholm and from what I understand they're comparable as far as market value. 

If Ferland doesn't want to be here then it's hard to sign him. I have a feeling he'll get moved but something also tells me Hamilton will go too.

I like the trade.

Rask had become hard to watch and though he missed all of the preseason and the beginning of the regular season he had been trending downwards since last year. He’s a defensive centerman who needs highly skilled wingers to look like an affective offensive player and he’s a poor skater.

Niederreiter plays a power forward’s game and is a solid skater. He reminds me of what we wanted Zykov to be. At worst he’s a third line winger who can get you 15 goals a season.

Because they just extended Tuevo and Aho's is coming and will be more expensive.  Ferland is good and a type of player we need but we still have a surplus of defense (Fluery, Faulk, Bean, Pesce, Hamilton) that we could turn into top tier scoring as well and Ferland is not worth what he's asking..at least not when you consider it'd be right up there with TT/Aho.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
