Oh, and if you're not familiar with Brendan Lemieux, just You Tube him and watch all of his fights, cheap shots included.

Never thought I'd see the day the Canes would sign someone with that rep and style of play.

This one is weird as fug for us and not exactly what I want on L4 but… between svech and him & orlov some people gonna get a smooshed nose coming out of PNC this year,

I’m in the minority but I like this move.

You pay $800K for a guy to sit in the press box and protect your star players when need be.

It also gives the other team something to think about knowing the Canes now have a goon.

Haha I thought the true goon era was over. Maybe not. Aho was definitely targeted in the playoffs, might not be a bad idea for a guy who can apply rules rhar the officials don’t seem to enforce m.

Just watched the videos, yep some cheap shots to the head, and he bit Tkachuck and got a 5 game suspension for that lol.

But he is a bonafide goon too, dropping them gloves on Wilson, Gudas and a bunch of others. Definitely your throwback enforcer who goes in to pay back targeting of Aho or other and then walks to the dressing room on a major lol. He does have some skills though and decent shot.

I hate to say it but I don’t think we are bringing in TDA or Ek. Actually I don’t Pesce is better than either of them. This signing is baffling though. Why bring one of the dirtiest players in hockey to a not dirty team?

Tda trade is on hold because canes are 100% in for EK. Think they backed off Tarasenko too because of the agent switch.

I'm not sure about that one. I haven't done the math, but I don't thing the cap space isn't there, even with 35% being retained. A Pesce trade would have to get done or be involved as part of a 3-team deal. The Canes only have $2.5M to spend without a Pesce trade. 

And, I'll admit, I'm still believing a winger is the better move here, not another right-handed defenseman.

They trade Pesce and Drury for EK at 35% retained.  7.5 cap space for a 7.45 hit. Add a third team to retain extra and easily fits in the cap space.

Better yet, trade Pesce and Drury for the best wing you can find and get a couple extensions done to relieve the pressure on next year's cap.

I disagree on Drury. He’s definitely our best trade deadline asset. Keep him until then in case we get another svech type injury. And pull the playoff cap trick.

Except that Drury has already asked to be traded. Unless RBA and Waddell have had a sit-down with him and brought him around, he's not playing to his max effort if he doesn't want to be here.

That was before he was brought into the lineup due to svech if I’m not mistaken.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
