A Case for Sam Darnold

Yeah I actually like the trade. It's not that I think Darnold is "the answer".  It's just that he could pleasantly surprise.  He's only 23, and he has some talent.  If you think that Kyle Allen brought us a fourth then the trade isn't too bad.  I think we could easily evaluate where Darnold is at this year and if he breaks out then great....he should be a reasonable contract.  If he doesn't then....we will survive.

Has been crap, looks like crap and so far it looks like crap believes in it. Just burn it all down. Gives new and better crap a place to grow in it's absolute failure. 

Same people said Teddy was the exception, different year same story. Crap is crap, grow things in it not hide your hope.

Good stuff! I'm open to The Darnold Experiment (still coping with losing next year's second rounder though), and this makes me feel better about the decision.

Wish it could have been a 3rd, but I’m still optimistic about this deal. Pressure is on though. He’ll have no excuse if he can’t perform this season as he will have plenty of weapons to utilize this time around

I am in full burn it down mode. Nothing except Burns and Chinn is worth saving. The sooner the rest goes we can get back to hoping for a better year.

Lol no. Again, that is nonsense. We have a lot of talent on this team and will likely have a legit LT in a few weeks to add to it. 
 

Find another hobby man. You would be happier scrapbooking so just take a break. As it stands now, it is starting to FEEL like you want him to suck so we can all pay you on the back in 8 months and congratulate you on how right you were. Which is pretty pathetic if true

Definitely don’t burn it down Jesus. We have good pieces to work with we just need a franchise qb. The problem is they are incredibly hard to find which is why I give this staff until 2023 to get one before they need to go because they can’t evaluate talent or won’t take the risk to get there.

And that was said last year when Teddy came on. It's all a sad repeat. 

Lol. Keep belittling me because you are wasting the next year of your life as an adult in a repeating phantasy. Take a long look in the mirror, your not that different if you are here bickering.

    • 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.
