If Beaulieu is Don’s idea of putting pressure on Skjei/Pesce then we are fugged.

Walt came out and said that we need around 12 defensemen available for the preseason so hopefully this PTO is nothing more than helping us get to 12.

Like I said… I’m worried we have major injuries on D that haven’t been discussed yet. Hopefully this is just a TC scheme… but.

Makes zero sense.

If there are no extension talks with Skjei and/or Pesce, the reality is this works in favor of the Canes for the upcoming season. Both will be playing for big free agent money and their performance on the ice this season will have plenty of GMs watching. Short-sighted thinking, I know, but it is what it is.

I've come to accept that neither will be here after this coming season.

I think we retain one. Which one is the question. I’d prefer Pesce. As much as I like Skjei too we have loaded up on “offensive defensemen” if we lose Pesce we in essence only have Slavin left in the true defense category.

I doubt they will come cheap.

Perlini never became what Arizona or the scouts thought he would be.  Another bigger forward who didn't get to the dirty areas to clean up the loose change.

Best season was in 17-18 where he had 30 pts. (17g, 13a).  Also, played more games that season than any other.

Eh, guess it's fine to see what he can do.

Conacher is 5'8" and hasn't played in the NHL since 19-20.  I would say he's a much longer shot.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
