NOTE: ANY SUGGESTIONS USED IN THE FOLLOWING POST ARE FOR EXAMPLE USES ONLY. I AM NOT SAYING THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE SHOULD TRADE/TRADE FOR.

So, the trade deadline came and went, without really much action. This happens in sports a lot. The trade deadline comes, someone makes a pretty big move, and then everyone else remains quiet. But, usually in baseball, and sometimes in NBA, you see a trade come down after the deadline. Not because it wasn't reported, either, but because of the waiver-wire trade system.

Does the NFL have something similar. Say, where we could call Washington, tell them what we offer for Jason Campbell, they push him through waivers where he has a week to clear, and then we give them what we said we could, and they ship us him?

I'm just not clear whether or not the NFL runs something similar, so that the trade deadline is effectively not the deadline.

Why is the trade deadline so early in the season?

From what I understand the NFL doesnt want the bad teams to know how bad they are. Like they wouldnt want a 0-8, 1-7 teams to trade all of their good players for draft picks. They dont want teams to clean house.

They dont the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

They want to keep games competitve for the second half of the season. So its not like baseball when the Yankees/Redsox are beating up triple A players when they play Baltimore.

I think its a way to help keep parity.

This is what I have always heard.

      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.
