Keep Fast, Puljujarvi, and Stepan or Pauly, but not both. Staal if he's going for a year to year deal and cheap enough. 

The rest of the FA can walk as far as I'm concerned. Go after a physical forward who will be able to be tough on the boards and will sell out to clear space. Get our top 4 D locked down long term.

Both of these guys will call their own shots and nobody will begrudge either of them. Staal is only 34, but he looks like a player considering retirement.

Ya think? He was the 4th overall pick in 2016 and has 7 years in the league playing like a 6th round pick.

Stastny is like Fast and Staal- he gets to make his own call. I think he may retire. Stepan will be replaced. Can't pay him any less and, believe it or not, he was making $7M+ just a few years ago.

Ghost will be back next year barring a stupid amount of money he asks for. Coghlan and DeHaan are replaceable. LaJoie has shown me little to be excited about. Rather underwhelming.

Fortunately, the 3 blue lines are signed, so adding depth isn't difficult.

Agree on everything but Fasty. We are going to have to overpay fast and we should begin bracing for it now.

I want to see him once he gets a full camp under his belt, it’s obvious he struggled understanding our system when being thrown into it, he had a really good year in Edmonton before this season so there is potential for him to be a solid 4th.

Unfortunately he’s RFA and I don’t think we should go out of our way to sign him but if nobody else does and we can bring him back on a bridge minimum deal I don’t think that’s a problem.

In 90% of todays hockey clubs yes he’s terrible. But I think given a fair shake he might be able to come out of a camp as a team player. He obviously to this point can’t grasp how we play, which is a hell of a lot different than how Edmonton plays. I think a camp in which he can reset his brain would elevate his game. He’s shown glimpses of it in Edmonton. He’s also shown he has the work ethic. Getting him on a minimum bridge contract in a new year and build on relationships with our players he might start producing and if he doesn’t he’s on a minimum bridge anyways.

I mean, I am ready to move on from him. That was just a failed trade based on a flawed premise of him having chemistry with Aho due to prior experience.

I suspect we will move on from him.

I’m just playing devils advocate. I could seem some potential from him but I think end the end we won’t. 
 

That said we do need to find Aho a feed man though.

When Svechnikov had surgery mid-march, it was estimated 6-9 months to heal. Taking the 9 month period,  Svech could be back early January, maybe sooner. Never know about these things though.

Not sure about the prospects of Pacioreti returning.

Yeah I am kind of concerned about Fast.  He has really been great for us and I think he would be hard to replace.  I hope he likes Carolina enough to maybe take just a smidge less than the best offer he will get.

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      By csx · Posted

      He has said many times hes a diehard Panther fan. Being a former player he is going to be very pro player. I don't think its a conspiracy but just someone close to the individuals.

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      By TD alt · Posted

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
