Hopefully it’s just precautionary because I’d like to see him get back to Chicago and help the Wolves make the playoffs.

What goalie does he play tomorrow or Saturday? Because he’s going to pick a fight with one of them.

Being from the Charlotte area I hated it when they swapped affiliates from the Charlotte Checkers to Chicago.

Still think that was a horrible move in regards to growing the fanbase and the brand but it is what it is I guess. If I’m not mistaken, Carolina didn’t feel like they were getting enough monetary support to from Charlotte to keep the team competitive long term.

Yeah, not sure I'm nearly as confident in him as I once was.

He started wearing his emotions on his sleeve while he was in Raleigh and I think it's gone too far. Yes, he scored a goalie goal, but that celly was a little over the top and he ultimately got tossed when the opposition took offense. Then, he gets tossed again while giving up 5 goals. 

Not a good look when his performance has not been good enough to warrant the other poo he's pulling.

I'm don't think you can take that kind of passion away from a player. 

Smitty and Jake had it as Panthers. Smitty rode his passion to a golden jacket (eventually) while Jake rode his into the heart of every Panther fan under the age of 30. There are always gonna be ups and downs. Smith had his fair share of ejections and personal fouls and everyone remembers the meltdowns that Jake got himself into.

The good thing about players that run on pure emotion is that they tend to be at their best when emotions are highest, ie the playoffs...

This is what it ultimately comes down to. If King Kucci plays up to his potential, nobody but the other team will have a problem with the antics that come with his game. And the fans will love him all the more for it.

I understand what you’re saying, emotions can make play better.  Kuchi is young and celebrating a little too much after he got is goal was funny and understandable.

A cheap trip as a poor loser however,  like that in the link I provided, isn’t going to make fans or Rod happy. Emotions have to be controlled sometimes and Rod won’t tolerate displays like that.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
