A big issue we are going to run into is defensive play come playoff time.

I’m personally not sold on Bear and TDA is obviously a third pairing/PP defenseman.

With Nino being a UFA at seasons end, I wonder if we could package him with someone like Ryan Suzuki to get a top four d-man with a little term.

As of right now I have no desire to keep Bear and I wouldn’t go more than $4.5M per year for TDA.

You are forgetting we have the top two defenseman in the league.

They can’t play all the time and it’s obvious that Bear is affecting Slavin’s play.

I’d be curious as to what Anaheim would want for Josh Manson.

Slavin - Pesce

Skjei - Manson

Cole - TDA

Smith - Bear

This is a defense I can get behind.

Was about to mention him, I think hes a UFA at the end of the year though. Pretty sure we were interested in him when Dougie got hurt.

I’ll also mention that I don’t hate Bear (he seems like a nice kid), he just looks like he struggles against higher end teams.

He chases the play here instead of staying home - result was a goal.

He loses a puck battle along the boards here - result was a goal

Screens Andersen here… if you aren’t going to block the shot at least make sure the goalie can see - result was a goal

Just really unimpressed with him tonight.

Panthers getting pummeled but Rangers, lol what is this season

They were more hungry than we were. Plus without Pesce. We whopped their asses last season and they lost the last time to us in a game where they were gifted 13 penalties by the refs.

I expect our next two meetings to look much different. 
 

If we can take care of business tomorrow night and make sure we stay on the tracks going into our west coast trip, I’ll be happy.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
