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.

Lived in New England and went to many Bruin games in the late 60's and 70's - that to me was the best hockey ever. the games today don't even compare, lets scrap the woke politically correct gentlemanly crap from the game and let the boys go at.

This does nothing for Carolina. As a matter of fact, it's subtraction by addition. The guy is a penalty machine (484 PIM in 275 games).

I don't fugging understand this move at all except to say, are the Canes now playing guys to be healthy scratches every game? I wouldn't let this guy on the ice between periods, let alone when the game is in the balance. May as well have kept Stastny or Stepan.

You bring up some valid points.

I believe prospect camp is now over. Heard some good things about Nadeau, Perron, Blake, and Robidas.

I’m newer to the sport of hockey so I would never portray myself as having a keen eye for identifying upcoming hockey talent but I was impressed by what I saw from Morrow, Nystrom and Perets.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

I completely forgot about Perets, it’ll be interesting to see where he plays this year since we don’t have an AHL team right now and he’s done with college.

After talking to lots of old time fans they are seemed agree with you that games in that time period  were different and somewhat better.

Got to watch the original Whalers from '79 to the end in '97.  Super exciting, lots rougher than today's game, some old Whalers who liked to throw down - Torrie Robertson, Ulf Samuelson, and my favorite Pat Verbeek. Got to watch Gordie and his sons play together, today's game emphasizes skating and speed with the blue line and 2 line pass changes, back then if you wanted to watch good skating you watched the ice capades - lol

Yes, like everything else it certainly seems to have changed.

      Trap game

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
