Our Updated Cap

According to Spotrac after releasing Boston , Weatherly , Paraldy Spotrac has us sitting at 9th with 35,231,683 with 22,672,807 in DC for the season I do expect Burris to be released as well and maybe Shaq and Paradis contracts to be re structured to give us a little more money. Who would like Carolina to go after in Free agency?

I’m curious to see what they do with Paradis. Personally, I don’t think you can cut him and expect to replace 4/5 OL positions in one offseason. 

I don’t think Paradis was as bad as many think as he suffered from having to play next to Chris Reed at times. That left side of the line was a real problem when Okung wasn’t playing which was most of the time. 

Assuming pick 8 ends up getting shipped off, it would be franchise changing to land a LT in round 2

Much as I hate to say it, with as many holes as this roster still has, I don't think the goal is to contend next year either. You can probably replace as many linemen as you want; the lack of continuity isn't going to torpedo next year's championship run.

Why are we cutting Burris? Is his contract that bad? We just cut a safety and he seemed pretty decent when he was on the field

I don't think he will be release, but if he did it would be an additonal 4+million back in our pokcet and the safety market will be cheap and flooded this off season.

This is the draft to do it too. Leatherwood, Eichenberg(not super high on em), Radunz could probably be had round two. Then even deeper, I’m really interested in Walker little in a later round. Dudes got caliber. I’d just hope he works out because we can’t get screwed by OT named Little, twice.

I don't see us cutting ties with Paradis for the reason many have said.  Having to start 3 new OL is tough enough without replacing the center with somebody completely new, as well.

I'm not sure why we would restructure him, either.  He is 32, on the last year of his contract, and it is almost inconceivable that we would extend him or resign him beyond this year.  Whatever we would save this year, when our expectations are not all that high, only gets turned into dead cap next year or later, when we might be in contention.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
