First shot = one goal, gotta keep this up. Hopefully Freddie being forced in tonight is a wake up call.

Goal 2 Staal as I post. 
 

Can’t get complacent though. Ducks ain’t much right now, gotta use it as a building block. 

Watching the Canes play lately makes me also think they are trying to avoid big time injuries like we had last season when we were already clinched.... good start tonight.

Honestly I’m seriously wondering at this point if we aren’t aiming for the #2 spot so we don’t have to play Boston or the Caps in round one.

(though we did sweep Boston, caps might have our number.)

Wouldn't surprise me, or the injury angle last season we had a number of key guys beat to crap when the playoffs started and Slavin was never at more than maybe 60% for the playoffs.... (Call me naive but he's the second most important player on the team IMO)

I feel like not that we can cap space wise we need to take the rook up and rest our goalies. They are so stupidly slow right now. If he sucks, hey, he gets some NHL action. If he’s good maybe someone needs to rest up extra long.

Happy for Staal, he struggled early and I had cancelled him thinking he was done… glad to be wrong.

I think that’s a good momentum builder, however goalie is incredibly suspect in my mind currently. Either they are playing at half speed in preparation for the playoffs or we are going to have to make a move.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
