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.

"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.""

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
