I'd love to keep him. But....eventually we are gonna struggle to pay all these guys. 

Yep, letting him move on would be a huge boon to keeping the rest of the folks. It also depends on what happens with the expansion draft. Since we aren’t doing a deal before the end of the season Seattle could end up offering him what he wants or more since they get a window to negotiate with free agents before the draft we don’t.

I am so nervous about the expansion draft.

I really hope they give Ned the start vs. TB Tomorrow... but throwing Mrazek back in there if he’s ready may be a much needed curve ball/focus tool for us. 

I would not throw Petr back out against the #1 team in the league after 2 months off.

I'd let Ned have one (or both) of the Tampa games to test his mettle, and ease Mraz back in against CHI or DAL.

Me too. Both Tro and Nino could be open(I mean if not it’s Svech and one of them since Necas isn’t eligible at all and doesn’t count against our protected number), Foegele for sure. Thats not exactly the best case scenario any way you look at it.

I don't know if I would pick Chicago we actually allow the most goals against them by a wide margin. Tampa we actually allow the second least goals against.

I wouldn’t either but since it’s only one game at home and Rod thinking it would boost our play up front you never know. But ya if not give Ned the start. But I feel like Rod would give the start to Reimer otherwise.

If you had the choice, would you take a D with offensive mindset or a sandpaper & physical game?

I'm of the opinion you get the latter of the 2 for less money, the Canes will be fine without his offense and they need a physical presence on the blue line.

Very true either way we got a huge chunk of contracts coming up. The irreplacibles more so next offseason but still. If he really wants to stay I’d hope he’d settle for 7 with a no trade clause. If that’s even possible. I think we can work with that. Anything north of 7.5 though shouldn’t even be considered.

https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-gm-team-could-trade-goalie-to-add-help-on-defense/c-322940856

"If the Hurricanes do trade one of their goalies, it could be for a right-shot defenseman.

"We like our defense, but you know, after you get through our first two sets of pairs, we've got three lefties there," Waddell said. "They all play well, but they all would be better on their natural side. They're all left-hands who would be better on the left side. … So if we could add a right-hand-shot defenseman to complement them, I think that would be good.""

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
