That’s the problem. They are hedging their bets on ONE season. 

Lol what? How? Our cap, core and prospect situation are all in phenomenal shape for long term sustained success. We didn’t overpay for rentals like other teams have. We lost our 2 best goal scorers to injury late in the season, what the hell do you expect?

We have some big contracts coming up. Our long term is in question until those get resolved. We probably have 1 or 2 more seasons for our window. We needed help even before the injuries. Every year in the playoffs our goal scorers go silent. Regular season means nothing when we havent seen them perform like they should come playoff time. Svech hadnt been scoring before his injury this year. This team is screwed with Waddell as the GM. He extremely overvalues who is currently on the roster. Its not enough.

Is it? What happens if Aho walks? Burns retires? We can’t afford Pesce and Brady. What’s our goalie situation actually like? So far Necas can’t play C. KK is still a 3C. I’m going to choose to disregard your last point considering the performance of the team has completely dismantled at this point the last 3 seasons. Next year is pretty much objectively our last shot at winning a cup for the foreseeable future. Are our prospects that good? We seem to be the only team that thinks so. 
 

This isn’t cynicism. It’s being realistic about the direction of the team

A choke of epic proportions. 

The game in hand is gone, a weekend opportunity to gain some separation from NJ wasted and the inability to beat non-playoff teams down the stretch.

Carolina will lose tomorrow night, NJ is playing Buffalo who also played tonight.

Carolina will go down in 5 games to the Rangers.

I don’t count patches. He only played 5 games for us. It’s not like we had him for the whole year.

5 games? What makes you think they are winning 1?

Yeah we will. What prospects do we have that are so good? We couldn’t trade Morrow in package for Meier when NJD gave up significantly less. Nikishin is still 2 years away from coming to America. We clearly overvalue them.

The whole patches thing is a joke. No offense to the athlete but hedging your bets on someone who is that injury prone is open to questioning in of itself. Thankfully we gave up nothing.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
