To anyone who thinks this changes draft plans for the 2nd rounder, you're kidding yourselves.

I'm guessing this is a cheaper contract and more or less puts Shi on notice, can't see us keeping both of them, likely one or the other with whoever plays better in camp.

The 2nd round pick still needs to be a WR and hope we hit on a good one.  Our current WR room right now is an injury prone #1 on a 1 year deal, a #2 who has shown flashes of some skill but yet to breakout after a few years, a 33 year old slot who is the veteran presence, and then Laviska, Shi, and now Byrd.

Still far from what you want to be giving a rookie QB, gotta take a WR in the 2nd and if needed, move up a bit into the back of the first or earlier in the 2nd to get someone if nobody worth that pick will fall to us.

You misspelled OG…

Best highlight comp

 

Hard to get overly excited about an 8 year vet who's highlight roll includes college games, but I like the signing. Especially at the price! Hope he balls TF out.

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
