Yes, I'm very aware of Cap Friendly and, if you've red any of my posts, you'd recognize this is one of my main resources.

And, you're missing my point entirely. I'm also very aware of Kochetkov's contract status as well as the fact he will be the backup for the foreseeable future. That's not a point of contention with me, I get it.

The thread and discussion is about which of the 2, Freddie or Raanta, would/should/will keep and what's your basis for that decision?

Andersen's AAV is $4.5M before UFA; Raanta's is $2M (the same as Kochetkov right now).

Could Raanta be a Hurricane for about what Freddie was getting the last 2 seasons? If not, a decent UFA or trade acquisition starting goalie will cost in the neighborhood of $6-7.5M.

Give them each a half a million raise for two years. I’d say more for one year but we got too much to contract next year.

yeah see if we're paying those 3 guys 9.5 say goodbye to at the very least Pesce and to whatever forward on the open market you thought you might have wanted.  I'll take an open market goalie/ trade plus Pyotr's 2m. 

Mrazek is barely an NHL goalie right now and succeeded in front of our defense. Nedjelkovic the same.  Pyotr will be fine at a 12-7-5 clip at worst next season for 2 mil behind a stud goalie without the injury troubles these two dudes have. We have been good at moving on/not providing guys the raises that they fetch on the open market for fitting in Brindamour's system.  I wouldn't quit that now.

 

That's why my answer on this poll is neither as I stated prior.  I want a bonafide #1 who can steal the show less Fred's injury history. Raanta at this point is an older, more oft injured version of Pyotr who has earned himself a raise on the open market. I hope it's not us that obliges him that.

Vegas won by committee, of like 6 goalies.

Goalie play didn't cost us any playoff series. Lack of scoring did.

But we also have never seen an elite goalie in Carolina. Wouldn't that be interesting to see in our system? Could solve a few of the goal scoring problems by itself.

Sure, that would be nice to see. That being said, is that elite goalie going to score for us? Because the 1 to 2 goals we have scored in losses won't get it done most times...

Again, what I love a top-notch goalie? Absolutely.

That being said, I care way more about getting forwards who can put the puck in the net

Look what NJD is doing. They are not settling and aggressively improving their roster. Tired of the Canes hoarding draft picks and prospects. 

I actually am not. We are setting ourselves up to be contenders for a long time.

Continuing to have an excellent farm system is going to keep us an elite team.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
