Players opting out

Big wave of opt outs have come in today. Haven’t seen any Panthers so far but with the deadline being this Saturday I bet we see at least 1 soon. Chiefs starting guard opted out, our old buddy Star opted out, Patriots are dropping like flies —like 5 starters for them have opted out already. Post any other news you got, or thoughts.
 

If I had to guess which Panthers could opt out I’d say Boston is a possibility as he made some comments about not playing due to health concerns or social justice stuff, etc. Maybe Samuel with his heart condition. Otherwise, any older veteran is a possibility but none really stand out.

It’s a crap shoot really. It seems players are opting out for a variety of reasons...pregnant wife, new child, at risk family members, etc. 

im sure we will have at least one player.  

Yep. Opt outs alone can honestly change the landscape of the league a ton, maybe as much as in-season COVID outbreaks for teams. Even if Cam is healthy and balls out, this Pats team ain’t winning poo this year. Assuming the season does happen.

My thought is since we mostly have guys who are trying to prove they belong as a starter or on a roster we’d have less players opt out than winning teams with bigger names. Could actually be a benefit to us.

Looks like the Pats aren’t even going to have a chance at being good.

Not going to hold it against any player for opting out, but no surprise to see Star on that list.

where do you think cam gets traded.  one of their starting ot's already opted out.  if its true they're gonna have to trade him or say he was having trouble with the playbook, not enough time to 'gel'...

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
