I went back thru the trade tracker and just listed the deals that Carolina could have been involved in and also improved their move towards the playoffs.

Jan 30: Islanders get Bo Horvat and send Anthony Beauviller to Vancouver. Both forwards in this deal would have been good for Carolina.

Feb 9: Rangers land Tarasenko and Mikkola; again, both of these guys would have fit in Carolina.

Feb 17: St. Louis sends Ryan O'Reilly to Toronto. Another guy Carolina fans were looking at.

Feb 19: Rangers get F Tyler Motte...

(crickets chirping in Raleigh......)

Feb 23: Boston lands D Orlov, F Hathaway from Washington

Feb 25: Winnipeg gets Nino Niederreiter

(crickets still chirping in Raleigh....)

Feb 26: Among a lot of deals that day, Vegas gets F Barbashev; NJ Devils get Timo Meier among a stack of other players

Feb 28: Islanders add F Engvall from Toronto; Rangers get Patrick Kane; Wild add Marcus Johansson. And in the blockbuster deal of the day, Carolina lands F Jesse Puljujarvi!

Mar 1: Colorado lands Lars Eller; Chychrun ends up in Arizona; Ghost is now a Hurricane......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're going to be aggressive...."

What's next, someone gonna run with scissors? Food fight in the PNC staff cafeteria? Stay out after the street lights come on? 

Every team in the Metro who wants the Cup has made moves to improve their chances, except Carolina.

In on Timo deal and being screwed by SJ messed them up. 

I live in Chicago, Kane pushed for the Rangers and wouldn't go anywhere else. 

For the rest, teams asked for Jarvis or more, Canes said no. Few deals was asked for nisshi and said no. 

I’m getting tired of the “teams asked for Jarvis and Nikishin” theory. No other team gave up any prospects of their caliber so if the organization is going to continue to push this narrative for their lack of moves, I’m going to be very skeptical of anything else they release to the public moving forward. The Devils are one point behind us and have an objectively easier schedule moving forward. We are staring a round one series against the Rangers in the face. A lot of questions will need to be answered in the future I’m afraid.

I still don't know why they didn't get Nino back.  The asset cost was well within reason, I just wonder if his $4M/yr didn't fit in the "salary scale" the Canes have and that was the reason.

Underwhelming trade acquisitions overall, we like our team.

I hope the team likes themselves as much and plays lights out and proves all of us armchair QBs wrong.

It's easy, our front office was all in on getting timo. When we didn't, they just lied out of their ass saying they were still going to try to add people. Instead, we add 2 turds that nobody wanted and still gave up too much for them...

It wasn't just Timo they were in on, but they did focus a lot of effort there. 

It's not like Waddles and Co. don't have the ability to multitask, and if they were just lazy then that's terrible.

I’m not. Teams know we are stacked already. Asking for Jarvis or Necas is reasonable. 
 

I’m not as much on the big trade train as the rest of the board. Rod system I think would prohibit big play a bit. We tried bringing in someone like Domi and he did what exactly? He didn’t mesh. We need team players that will strengthen our core. Not a stand out that will inhibit it.

I've found a chart I'd like to review...

 

This right here is why I’m not worried that we didn’t grab a star. Your top three lines in the top 10 for X goals is stupidly stupidly good. That doesn’t happen. 
 

Honestly I’m surprised out of all the lines we have the Staal line has the highest Xgoals against.

It's the nature of the beast. That heavy forecheck means everyone plays very deep and that line has no speed whatsoever. Consequently, sneaking a guy out behind the D for an odd man breakaway or a stretch pass up the ice will happen.

Yep. I see it now. Plus. Ghost came in a contributed right away last night.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      By Zaximus · Posted

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
