There’s your proof. And like I said, things can change. It doesn’t mean that the information that Shayna was originally provided with wasn’t correct and then became incorrect later.

I don’t know how long you’ve been a Canes fan but the same situation happened last year. Every pundit reported that we had agreed to terms with Mason Marchment and then Dallas came in and stole him from us. It doesn’t mean that all the talking heads were wrong, it just means that something happened and the situation changed.

The only reason I even said anything was because of your sarcastic remark about Shayna being reliable. Once again, not sure how long you’ve been a Canes fan but she broke the news of the Skjei trade when he was sent from the Rangers to Carolina.

Everyone has hits and misses but she’s right more often than not.

Reddit? Doesn’t matter. I remember the Marchment fiasco. Pundits do get things wrong sometimes I understand that. And yes there are reasons they get things wrong. But that doesn’t make them not wrong. You get it right or you get it wrong. Those are the choices.

why so hostile bro. take this energy back to twitter. 

 By the way, I make it a point to leave politics out of this forum. After all Canes fans come in all shapes and sizes and viewpoints. Sports is the one place we can all come together with a common goal, to see our Canes win the cup.

Its obvious to me by your comment that you have read posts on my twitter account and formed a judgement not based on sports. I resent you bringing that here. So please leave anything not sports related out of it ok?

The Reddit link has the NHLN video, that’s why I posted it.

And if you see everything in black and white then I guess those are your only options. But I’m of the belief that something can be right at one point and then wrong at another point. And if I’m not mistaken, Shayna said that ‘it sounds like Tarasenko is headed to Carolina,’ not that he is signing with Carolina. That’s an open ended statement that leaves room for something unexpected to happen in my opinion, and obviously something unexpected did happen.

Anyway, it’s a moot point now.

That’s true she did say “sounds like” which is why I took it as speculation while others here ran with it. In any case appreciate the discussion and didn’t mean to be the contrarian. I do reserve the right to be a curmudgeon in the future though my preference is to be a friendly one when I can manage lol.

Would love to see your posts on twitter lol. Want to reveal your name there? Mines easy to see, nothing to hide. You? 

Lol. What does this even mean. You don’t get brownie points for doxing yourself dude lmao. I don’t care about your politics, just pointing out your overt hostility.

You’re the one who brought up me “taking this energy back to twitter.” Fine if you want to keep our twitters out of it. just don’t open that can again. Never know what might come out lol.

Wow, why are we getting bent out of shape about a rumor about a guy who would rather play in Ottawa than Carolina because of $$.

I rather make some good scratch and be on a winning team.

Point well taken. We should recognize spirited debate doesn’t set well with the more sensitive members here.

Youre kind of piling on after it’s all over though haha.

Doldrums of the offseason, this long without hockey makes me ornery.

Admirable, but it was me more than you, my ornery is a tad bigger lol. But you’re the type I can argue with and come out as friends so it’s all good. And I agree, we just want to know if theres gonna be any more trades and for the season to start. So far I feel good about the team already and any good forward added would just be another bonus.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
