That said, we got the big, physical righty we've been missing all season.

Hopefully he can eloquently persuade opposing teams against targeting our forwards.

Looks like a pretty clean hitter though or nobody wants to fight him. No videos on hockey fights. 
 

Scratch that YouTube has one from two weeks ago.

I honestly really like the Trade. Fleury has always been terribly overrated because of his draft position imo, and outside of last years bubble he just hasn't lived up to his billing. This trade now allows us to pair a true defensive defenseman with an offensive cheating defenseman on every line.

Man Fleury really never came into his own as a Hurricane.  I thought after his "bubble" performance last year he had finally established himself, but he came back into this season performing at his standard level....a level we all know Rod wanted him to improve upon.

He may well get picked up by Seattle, but we still have to lose a player to them as well.  I sure hope this doesn't backfire. 

Florida and Tampa Bay got better today IMO.  Florida definitely is playing with fire with all their additions, but that's still a tough team that we've handled well during the regular season.....I hate when we have a great record against a team and have to play them in the playoffs.

Also, Boston is better too......Hall was dogging it in Buffalo, but something tells me he'll pick it up for Boston.  Lot's riding on a good end of season/playoff run for his next contract.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
