What does this even mean? The team will exist in 2022 this is how great teams operate 

Listen, I love the player we picked, I said it earlier, but don't pretend it's a need. Receiver is arguably the most stacked position group on the team, and there's no reason to assume we're not going to either resign our receivers next off-season, or find one in free agency — again next off-season.

Okay, just checking. You think that adding a player to the most stacked position group qualifies as "filling a need", and that getting ahead of free agency a year from now is apart of filling that need.

Of course. You literally need like 3-4 good receivers to make a run today.

Hurney truly broke fans' brains. How dare the team think one year ahead of time!

Well then state that please. Adding a player to the most stacked position on a team isn't a "filling a need", it's stacking a group to the point that losing players an entire year later will be okay.

How beautiful is this. Two needs already filled tonight with two more picks to go. Do you all want to keep complaining?

Yes no other teams realized that they should have been the first two picks in the second round. We are so coy!

We have two great one, and one with good production in his career at third. We also have a running back that take a huge load off the receivers.

I can’t agree with a single point you made in this post so I will respect your opinion and we will just disagree on this

    • 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.
