So, no defensive player scored today? Might have been the best overall game so far.

No defensive goals and I believe only two assist. But that doesn’t detract anything from the blue lines they played stupidly good. Outside of a few chatty, ghost mishaps they just completely shut down the islanders.

The canes did not end up practicing today. Rods availability say 11:45(so probably 12:15 for him) I doubt he will say who we are drawing in if drury can’t go though. 
 

Choices ranked in my estimation of Rod,

Stromwell > Rees > Pono. Though I’d prefer Pono get some NHL time.

If some pro member who’s been here longer than I the newbie wants to start a game 5 thread, I’ve been reading various sports news sources and have some thoughts I’ll post there. My thoughts are worth two cents though lol.

We’ll see if Panthers Fan 69 posts up.

Stromwall actually didn’t get called up, I wonder if he’s headed back to Russia.

Sweden and could be, why we didn’t call him up I have no idea. He was the stat leader for the wolves. 
 

So Rees or Pono then? Capfriendly is listing rees, Ville and Suzuki on the active roster currently while the rest are “non-roster forwards” I’d like to give Pono a game, I’d be ok with Rees, Ville is too young and I’m just not sold on Suzuki. Though Suzuki did have a better year in Chicago this go round.

By Russia, I mean the KHL, that’s where he was playing previously.

I’m not putting Suzuki in, guy is made of glass, there’s no reason to throw him into the lions den.

To my knowledge, Ponomarev is primarily a center as where Rees can play the wing.

If Drury can’t go and we don’t go 11-7, I’d expect Rees to get the call.

Ah gotcha. I suppose we could put Stepan back in too. I figured he was injured too if Rod didn’t play him.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
