Rumors that TDA could be on the move today.

TDA to the Flyers mentioned as a possibility.

Will not be happy if the Canes let him go. They will pay dearly trying to find a d-man to replace him. Not to mention the intangibles, like how he managed to get teammates playing grittier last season.

Sounds like TonyD wanted more than the Canes were willing to pay.

Realistically, he played on a 1-year, $1M deal, but he played like a $6M D-man and quickly made most Canes fans forget who Dougie Hamilton was.

If he goes to Philly, it's not necessarily because of the money, but that he gets to go home, where he's got a pretty good-sized charity he's very involved with.

TDA +7th to Philly confirmed. 

Canes get 2, 3, and 4 spread out over next 3 years. 

Sh!t.

The Canes have 3 D-men on their roster right now. Assuming they bring Chatfield up, that's 4. Gonna bring back Ethan Bear or try to resign the old guys Ian Cole or Brendan Smith?

Regardless, the Canes now have a defense issue on top of their need to replace a couple wingers and get a scorer.

We are screwed if we don't make major moves. I'm guessing the FO is just happy making the playoffs and flaming out because we are well on our way in doing that.

I loved TDA but as I say every off season don't get attached to NHL players unless they are on an 8+ year and have a NTC.

I'm just not happy we didn't replace him with another player. Draft picks are for the future and we should be in win now mode.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
