Pono, I don’t want him to just sit in the press box. If he makes the team he needs to play consistently, or at least rotate with Drury.

Speaking of Drury, what's the word on him? Haven't heard much since word got out he asked to be traded.

I don't think Mendel counts against the cap because he's on a two way.  I think he's just an AHL body and secondary insurance.

He counts according to CapFriendly. His cap is listed and they dropped Canes available cap from ~2.8 mil to a little over $2 mil to account for his cap hit. I’m no expert just what I saw there.

Yeah capfriendly is good with the numbers but they don’t know exactly who and who won’t make the team.

Mendel, Rees, Ponomarev, and Suzuki all have two-way’s meaning they can be sent down without counting toward the cap and all are waiver exempt.

Kochetkov is the only question mark not on an ELC and while he is waiver exempt and can be sent down, we get hit with a buried penalty if we do send him down.

Just a quick explanation cause I’m bored.

- A player under 25 must sign an ELC Two-Way contract as their first NHL contract. The number of years of the contract is determined by the players age. Mendel is 24 so his ELC is only one year. The Two-Way contract allows Carolina to transfer him down to Chicag… I mean wherever, without any repercussions regarding the salary cap.

- Waiver exemption is a little different and a player can be waiver exempt even if they aren’t on their ELC anymore. It’s tough to explain and the best thing to do is to just use the waiver calculator. As mentioned above, Kochetkov is waiver exempt but if we send him down we still get hit with a percentage of his cap because he’s no longer on a two-way.

For anyone interested, here’s the waiver calculator.

Thanks for the education and link.

I see Ethan Bear remains unsigned. I hope someone gives him a shot. Will likely never be a top 4, but he could definitely fill a 3rd pair spot.

He's a good guy- wish him the best.

He’s probably not getting signed right now. He got injured in the world championships and had to have shoulder surgery. He probably won’t be able to play until December at the earliest.

Someone may add him after he’s healthy.

So what I’m reading seems to indicate Tarasenko signing wasn’t a done deal yesterday. If it was we would have had confirmation by now or at least other sources confirming. Talk of Ottawa if they can move deBrinkat. Could be what’s slowing down his decision. Supposedly agent was talking to six teams at one point.

A “sounds like” tweet is not a confirmation. I’m waiting for that.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
