Rodrigue: Don't expect a big trade

From The Athletic's trade deadline primer (Link)

Team needs: Tackle depth, depth at cornerback and safety.

Why they might make a move: I can’t see Carolina making a blockbuster trade before the deadline, but they could certainly stand to shore up some depth at corner, safety and at left tackle where injuries have left their roster a little thin. Rookie Dennis Daley is about to get his third start at left tackle on Sunday, and while he’s playing well, the Panthers are one bad hit away from an offensive line catastrophe. Carolina could also be looking to stock up on draft picks.

Who to keep an eye on: DT Vernon Butler. The former first-round pick has played well in recent weeks but has underwhelmed in his previous three seasons. Trading Butler becomes less likely now that Carolina has placed Kawann Short on injured reserve, but if a team offered a few good draft picks for him, they might be tempted.

and yet the only position we've been linked to is indeed WR.  Not sure if it's been confirmed or just speculative. 

Well, technically there's that position LG was hinting at :)

Pretty sure it's all been speculation. I tend to agree with Rodrigue that if there is anything at all, it'll be depth related. And I'm not really even expecting anything there.

Person had his own take in a separate article and he believes we'll stand pat.

This isn’t breaking news, can’t remember the last time this team made a big time trade 

The Kelvin Benjamin trade wasn't that long ago.

Granted, that was treating somebody away and we didn't even initiate it, but it did happen at the last minute and nobody saw it coming.

how nice is it to be approaching the deadline and being able to say "a little depth at  a couple of spots would be nice, but we're gonna roll with the guys on 4 game win streak."

 

Not to be a downer, but didn't we also have similar thoughts this time last year? :thinking:

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
