Looks like Unger Sorum is still on the roster after the trim. He will probably get a few games as a tryout until Svech is fully ready. 

Dope. Would love for FUS to get some NHL regular season reps with the team before he heads back overseas. Looks like Suzuki and Pono haven’t been reassigned yet either.

I know you've been a Panther fan for a while, but you should make an effort to see a live hockey game. It's a helluva good time.

And you'll have the opportunity to see what a pretty well-run professional sports franchise looks like, in stark contrast to the sh!tshow in Charlotte.

Even when the Canes lose, most everyone goes home knowing they gave it their best. You don't see fights in the arena, cursing the opposing fans in the parking lot, etc.

And, with the exception of a couple teams (NYR and Pens), you don't see Hurricane ticket owners giving their tickets to the visiting team.

 

 

I think the closest team to me is the Tampa Bay Lightning. 

I'll try to get around to it eventually!

The Lightning are still a good team to see live. Though they may dip this year with turnover/injury. Hockey is amazing in person, if I could only pick one sport to watch live it would be hockey easily.

The Canes play all three games vs the Lightning before Vasi comes back... Honestly not sure if they are a playoff team with him out that long... They have been very bad without him.

Plus their massive roster turnover. Sounds like it’s probably Stamkos’s last year there too.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
