Bold move there Cotton!!   😂

Seriously though, it depends on what kind of bankruptcy Bally is looking at.  Reorganization would keep them around probably, but it probably makes more sense to just fade away and sell.  I just don't know who they would sell to though - the leagues may buy the rights to the teams involved (although that's a conflict of interest) and then offer the franchises the ability to broadcast their own games.  That may be the most profitable way forward for regional sports.

Bally sports is fox sports south. It was just a rebranding. 

Technically yes, but definitely not on the business side.  Fox could negotiate much better than Sinclair/Bally ever has. 

Also, Fox wasn't trying to get blood from a stone in their deals.  Sure, they made sure to be profitable but unlike Sinclair they weren't vampires.

Also Sinclair took away our Marley Drug girl!!!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
