Looks like the canes reached a deal with coach for 3 years worth 1.8 mil a year.

edit:  Apologies guys, I saw a breaking news post on the topic on Facebook and got excited. Looks like things aren’t complete yet.

3 years/$5.4m ($1.8m per)

"If the deal gets finalized at the terms that Friedman reported, it’s definitely a below-market price tag as veteran head coaches have been able to command twice that much or more in recent years.  While Brind’Amour – who has led Carolina to a 120-64-20 record – doesn’t have quite the track record that coaches like Mike Babcock, Alain Vigneault Claude Julien, Barry Trotz, Todd McLellan, and Peter Laviolette all had at the time of their hires (where they received at least $4MM), it stands to reason that he could have commanded considerably more had he hit the open market"

To me, this tracks with earlier reports about the hold up being Rod wanting the assistants and trainers taken care of first.

With his name and track record, RBA could easily pull $5m/yr if his agent is worth their salt. But, he knows the value of the organization behind him. And he is willing to take a pay cut if it means others get a raise.

It's never a good sign when you have a head coach worth far more than the offer reported.

It's also not a good sign when an article is written and he's lumped in with a list of re-tread head coaches (the NHL is nothing but re-tread head coaches).

Mike Babcock, Alain Vigneault Claude Julien, Barry Trotz, Todd McLellan, and Peter Laviolette all had at the time of their hires (where they received at least $4MM), it stands to reason that he could have commanded considerably more had he hit the open market"

Yeah, there's not a guy on this list I'd want coaching the Canes.

Um you guys didn't watch Roddy's interview the other day did you?  He came out and said he didn't want to coach anywhere else and something should be done soon.  We aren't losing Rod.  The man is a Cane through and through.  Rod is the type of man that would take less to make sure all his staff got paid.  He's the freaking man. 

The one. The only.  Canes legend.  Caniac belove'd.

Sweet mana to our hockey veins.  The pressure that causes the current that causes the storm that causes the surge.

Rod the fckin the Bod aka Roddy B aka RBA to those lazy Caniac wanksters.

Let's fuggin Go!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
