Dougie gone. I know everyone wanted the Canes to re-sign him, but at $9 Mil AAV....no thanks. There's no way in hell he should be the highest paid player on the team. When Dougie is on, he's great, but there are way too many lapses for him to make 9 Mil a year.

Honestly, I'd rather have a defenseman that scares people than one who scores occassionally. Resign Hakanpaa.

I can only hope that the bridge deal gets done with Svech and that we may also get either Saad or Tarasenko in a fair trade. 

Saad is a free agent so his only cost would be the contract he signs.

I like the idea of Tarasenko because the dude is a lethal sniper who can put points on the board.  I just don't want to give up much to the Blues because his cap hit is $7M.  If the Blues retain salary and we can make a good trade I think he may come in and really be motivated to stick it to the league and the Blues.

Post Season Points. As an "Offensive" Defensemen...2 goals in 11 games doesn't scream 9 Mil AAV to me. His +/- was great, but at the end of the day...gotta put pucks in net when the seasons on the line.

EDIT: I'd much rather take that money and give it to a pure goal scorer.

His +/- can be attributed to Slavin...at least half of it.  He looked lost at times when Slavin didn't play in the Nashville series.

For all that has been said about Dougie not enjoying being criticized in big hockey markets and really feeling at home in Carolina money ruled the day and he moved to a team that is covered by the NY media.  Good luck Dougie...I hope NJ had a solid defenseman that will cover your ass when you make a boneheaded play.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      As much as I would love to sit here and bash on Young.  I can't.   He is absolutely a part of this team winning.  He is the cool hand leading the offense along with the hammer, Rico.  He's making plays on 3rd and 4th downs, that are absolutely helping thus team win.  Is Bryce playing as well as we'd like? Nope. Although he had only 1 week off from a high ankle sprain.   No question he was 100% in the Greenbay game.  I'm not even sure where the team would find a clear upgrade over Byrce.  He is a leader.  In the 4th quarter, he has ice in his veins.  He is a part of why our team is enjoyable to watch again.  Without him, we wouldn't be winning.    Anyways.  Y'all enjoy yet another thread designed to tear down the man.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
