Big win against the Sabes tonight.

I really like this team. I think we're really set up. Aho, Teravainen, and Svechnikov is a great core. Also I think we have good depth and good young defensemen. Team is heading in a great direction. It would be big to sneak into the playoffs.

Back to back W's against Pittsburgh and Buffalo were huge for this playoff race. Also good trade...and I really like Brind Amour. That guy cares about the Canes at a higher degree because of his Stanley Cup as a player. If you remember watching Brind Amour play you can really see the team taking on his energy and level of commitment he had as a player. We've gotta win some faceoffs though.

A win is a win but that one should’ve come in regulation. I really do like this team though. Curious to see what we do at the trade deadline. Seems like Ferland is a goner and maybe a right D. Still can’t believe we got Nino for Rask...

I actually think they will keep Ferly and basically use him as a rental instead of trading him for futures and then flipping a defenseman for a forward.

I could certainly see us trading any one of Bean, Fleury, TVR, or Faulk along with a draft pick to get another forward.

With Fleury and McKeown certainly ready for the NHL along with Bean, Fox, and Martin in the pipeline, it might be time to get some forwards for our excess defensemen

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
