No practice today for the canes. Don’t know about Florida. Also it sounds like Lomberg will be back for the series, yay… more dirty for Florida, sigh.

Future Alt of Panthers Fan 69 here.  Im mean when teams goonit up against us it doesn't wok out well.  Look at that first round vs the islanders.   They had no shot when they gooned up.  Let Florida play dirty   we will just rack up goals.

Rod will obviously move Tuevo around if he is in shape/ready, but i wonder if this initial pairing is more about keeping him away from an immediate Tkachuk slash

Doubtful, because at least for the first two games I highly suspect we will put the Staal line against the Bennett(Tkachuk) line. We could put him against the Barkov but I think shutting down and frustrating the Bennett line is priority. That’s why it’s kind of surprising, since the Staal line requires the most energy/defense. 
 

Im guessing they said TT is a very good two way player and he’s been resting for a month. If his hand is good he’s going to give us the best option shutting down Tkuchuk.

if it's me i'm putting Staal on Barkov, KK line on Bennett, and matching up our 1 vs their 3 at home. Not saying you're wrong necessarily, it could go that way.  On the road in the regular season finale they matched our Aho line with Barkov so I'm expecting that again on the road.

That does have an on paper benefit of freeing up our 1, but their 3 is their shutdown line too, Jersey tried putting their shutdown Vs. Our 2 and look what happened. That’s why I think Aho V. Barkov like you said happened in the regular season. Though I’d go flip in that scenario, Staal still on Bennett, KK on Barkov.

their 3rd and 4th lines are gonna be grossly overmatched no matter what happens, that's sort of the separator here that the media lauding FLA for being world beaters and tryharding kind of ignores

Ya… as much as I wish we’d replace Stepan with Each if Drury stays on 4. I understand why we are keeping Stepan. Drury will(should) also be covering Stepans fugups going neutral to defensive. Who knows Maurice could redistribute his lines to create a spread. We’ll see.

Just curious - if TT is able to play, who sits for him? Hopefully Mac keeps his spot and we sit Stepan (or Stastny) - Mac has been relentless on his forecheck and has meshed very well with our system.

Hopefully our lines are:  Jarvis - Aho - Mac; TT - KK - Necas; Fast, Staal, Marty; Drury - Stastny - Noesen

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Moton is a class act.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
