Currently on a W4 streak. If we can bunker down on Tuesday, that’s the division. It looks like in all likelihood we’ll be playing Boston if we win Tuesday. Hopefully the Caps can knockout the panthers early but that would be a double edged sword. 

Tuesday actually isn't the division for us, a win vs the Rangers or the Devils will seal it for us.

Ya just saying it’s the earliest we can clinch.
 

Also Rod did not sounds happy about the prospect of going into the playoffs without either starting goalie, but sounded hopeful on Raanta.

I’m liking this Kochetkov kid but to be fair he’s only seen 26-27(I think that’s the right math?) shots from mediocre offenses. The Rangers are going to be a different story. I can’t wait to see him next year though either way. Give him an off-season and camp to learn the system and language. Oh boy. 
 

For now I think they need to run drills with him putting Slavin and Staal or our tallest forward in from of him and getting him used to the net front of the NHL or even just a massive screen. You can tell on at least two of the goalies he didn’t see the puck at all cause he has a tender to look inside for the pass first and he’s gotten caught on the outside both times.

Pyotr is no different than any other rookie coming up. Players are bigger and faster. Shots are harder and the overall speed of the game is quicker.

NY has us on Tue, Montreal on Wed and close with Washington.

I think we own the first 4 of 7 tie breaker scenarios.

Just gotta take care of business.

Can the Canes clinch with just a point Tuesday? The Rangers have a game in hand. If they were to win in OT Tuesday and win their final two games while the Canes lost their final game, the final standings should be:

1. Rangers - 114 points

2. Canes - 113 points

Am I missing something about how the Canes can clinch with a single point, absent the Rangers losing at least one of their final two games?

You're right. They said something about only needing a point in the post game but that math doesn't add up.

The Canes have a 4 point lead on the Rangers. The Rangers can get to 114 points if they win out. If the Canes win one of their last 2 games and finish with 114 points, they win the division based on the tie-breakers.  However, should they tie with 114 (Rangers winning out and Canes losing both), here's how the Canes win the division. ROW- the Canes can't be caught with a 4-game advantage.

Tie-breakers:

1. Points

2. ROW (regulation and OT wins only, shootout wins do not count) 51-47 Canes: Winner

3. Head-to-head season series 2-1 Canes: Winner or tie

4. GF minus GA: Canes +73: Winner

5. Tiebreaker game

You might know the answer to this better than I, If we had to LTIR one of the goalies and the other is out for more than a week or two, does the LTIR give us some cap space to at least pick up a vet?  So we aren’t running two rooks?

I don't believe so.

LTIR means a player must be expected to miss 10 NHL games and 24 days of the season. Now, the rules don't specify what a "season" is, and if the word "season" includes the playoffs. I believe it to mean the regular season. 

Even if the Canes used LTIR to put another goalie on the roster, here's the rub. The Canes are $467k under the cap. Andersen's salary is $4.5M. Subtract the cap space from the salary and you have about $4M to go out and get an unemployed goalie. And, you still have to take the cap hit of $4M. Although LTIR allows you to exceed the cap for the purpose of filling the roster, the cap hit remains and, at some point becomes due.

Anyone know of any veteran, unemployed goalies who can sit short term for the next couple months? I don't know of any.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
