I dunno... Burns is like 37 years old and Lane Pederson is a 24 year old right handed center who played in 44 total games in the past 2 seasons between trips back and forth to the AHL.

The Sharks are paying 33% of Burns's $8M salary ($2.64M), which means the Canes are paying $5.46M for a 37-year old D-man after trading away a 26-year old, $5M a year D-man.

WTF?

The actual $$ is less than the $5.46M.  They went for Burns to replace DeAngelo.

"San Jose is reportedly retaining one-third of Burns' $8-million cap hit in the swap." 

"Additionally, the Sharks will retain 33 percent of Burns’ $8 million AAV contract, dropping his cap hit from $8 million to $5.33 million."

Technicality- the Canes are still paying more for a 37-year old D-man then the 26-year old D-man they just traded.

And I know they had to replace TDA, but is this the best the Canes could do on the first day of FA? Really?

They almost landed Marchment before Dallas swooped in and took him.

No doubt the Canes are not as good a team today.

I don't think our FO really cares about a cup. They just want us good enough to flame out in the playoffs.

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
