Rumors are that the Canes viewed TDA is a third pairing defenseman who is a PP specialist.

Not saying that Joey Keane would come close to replicating TDA’s success but I’d assume he’ll get a chance along with Gardiner to be that third pairing PP specialist.

One thing is for certain, the Canes are in need of a 1D.

Slavin - ?

Skjei - Pesce

Gardiner - Chatfield/Keane

Jake Gardiner no longer needs to be part of this equation. If the Canes keep him, it looks like pure desperation and a lack of confidence they can sign a quality D-man as well as a couple forwards. 

I'd give Ethan Bear a full, healthy season on the roster before I'd go with Gardiner. Here's a list of right-handed UFA D-men... and this looks like a no-win unless Carolina signs Klingberg.

How the F does Klingberg have 47 points AND a +/- of -28. That’s insane.

Look at how the Stars started the season and how they finished- like a tale of two teams. Without looking, I'd bet Klingberg got more than half his points in the first half of the season and got most of his PIM during the second half.

I think it would be wise to at least give Gardiner the ability to compete in camp.

I mean....is Bear in the equation? Last I heard he was suffering "long COVID" symptoms, which doesn't bode well for next year. Most of the people that have had that battled it for a long time if they aren't still battling it.

I've read something similar, but I don't know if he's been officially diagnosed. I've having the same issues, and I've spoken with my personal physician a couple times during my annual physicals since I was sick in November 2020, and I've not gotten an actual diagnosis. What difference would it make? It's not like anyone can do anything about it.

I hope that's not the case with him.- he's a good kid and I think he has a future on the ice.

It was stated on WRAL last night and this morning the money was the sticking point. If true, then I'm shocked the Canes couldn't or wouldn't pony up $5M a year- 2 years, which is what TDA signed for in Philly.

Show me a free agent D-man with numbers even close to his 51 points last season who's available for $5M.

Don't bother looking- there isn't one.

I’m getting tired with Waddell’s attempts to lowball everyone.

      Derek Carr Retires

      By fanpanther · Posted

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
