So, here's my thoughts on who stays and who doesn't:

Not here next season: Trocheck, Stepan, Cole, Smith (all UFA)

Staying with new deals: Nino, Domi (both UFA)

Which RFAs will not get an offer? Lorentz and LaFontaine

Which RFAs stay? Bear, DeAngelo

And who's the wildcard? Martin Necas, a 23-year old, RFA.

Does Drury get pulled up next year?

I watched every game this year after only casually watching the past couple of seasons, and then only really paying attention to the playoffs. Trying to learn more about the more intricate details, salary cap, developing players, etc. Probably my favorite sport at this point.

I'd imagine he pulls up to the fourth line you get the feeling he is Staals eventual replacement.

I think other than the NC FL guy we all get along and respect everyone.   Was something said out of line?

I think he mistook the spirit of my post in this thread, Personally I don't care who makes the GameDay just that we can all chat and have fun....

 

I'm certainly not going to the doom and gloom.

The good news is we’re starting to get some traction on people on this subform to discuss and I think it’s a good thing that multiple threads about different things are being created. It shows that we care and we’re engaged.

Apologies, I didn't start the thread as a harbinger of bad things to come (no pun intended).

I just thought it would be nice to have other relevant hockey conversations besides the games themselves. And, playoff hockey tends to let you see who you really have come game day. Who steps up to the mic and who shrinks under the glare of the spotlight?

Who made a name for themselves and is looking to parlay that into a big payday? Who didn't gain the confidence of the coach to be part of the lineup this time around?

You guys know what's up- hell, I thought this was a 3-1 series by now... lol. Not counting the boys out.

For the record I think you are correct, Nino is a much bigger piece of what we do than Trocheck is ultimately, I think Necas will be back simply because he's a RFA and due to his down season won't get a ton in arbitration, When you consider the two concussions and the covid abbreviated seasons he is essentially having a sophomore slump.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
