I’m not sure but I hope that gets it done. The more I think about it, Meier is exactly what we need in the playoffs. We are essentially adding another Svech to the lineup. I’m going to be disappointed if NJD wins the arms race. 

But at what cost… was really hoping I could find a gif for that.

I’d rather give up Ponomarev than Morrow but I also realize as much as Dundon doesn’t want our window to close, it will. One Cup would be worth it for me. Meier moves the needle. Suzuki who I had written off is suddenly healthy and looking like the player we thought he could be. He has pedigree. Drury has lost some of his luster and so has Morrow imo. Nikishin is the only prospect I’m vehemently against moving. 
 

I think a package of Drury, Morrow, 1st is a pretty good offer, but probably not enough. 

I’m also just not worried about a rebuild. I don’t think we will have to endure another decade like we did before Dundon took ownership.

Yes don’t move Nikishin please, he’s my only untouchable.

Ponomarev and Niki are my untouchables. Drury, Morrow, Suzuki. I’m all good with. We need to cultivate our “2nd Gen” prospects. Most of our current 1st Gens probably won’t ever get a spot here in the next 2 years, they are our commodity at this point. Pono and Niki we need to cultivate.

I guess the Canes didn't value Nino enough for ~$5ish million dollars through the end of next year and a 2nd round pick.  Surprising, know they had talked to the Preds.

I don't think there's any interest in Duchenne, salary retained or not.

I am not convinced we are out on Timo, but Waddles needs to understand that to get you have to give.  Yes, you are in a "bidding" war with NJ, you think the whole salary cap thing puts you in a position of strength, you don't want to pay too much BUT you have to play ball.  Give them the 1st (2023), 2nd (2024), Drury and Morrow.  If it takes giving them the 2023 2nd do it. 

If the Timo thing doesn't fall our way Adam Henrique and Schmaltz are in play.  I know underwhelming.

LeBrun reporting that the Canes are officially out on Meier as of this morning.

Two things can be true.

Maybe are offer wasn’t the best (or maybe it was)…

OR

Maybe the Grier brothers (one works for San Jose and one works for New Jersey) prefer to do business with each other. There’s a lot of personal connections between those two organizations and Meier also has some very close friends and countrymen on the Devils as well.

This could simply be a situation where Meier was not interested in Carolina.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
