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.

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

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team. Week 1 starter: Bryce Young https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-10-worst-qb-rooms-in-nfl-starting-week-1-predictions/?fbclid=IwZnRzaARnWVNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xNzM4NDc2NDI2NzAzNzAAAR4I6-l7Gqrm0vzn3U7a_trcR4tcOJs0LSdal4B7l20pQeRwKTxD8w17l1lTRA_aem_RsfzhcPGr6Hmr56BjCd3hw

      That thread has all the huddle legends either posting in it or mentioned in it. I remember everyone of those folks and I truly miss seeing them post here. This place was so much better with them here.
