Latest word is they're gonna keep him on the right...at least until Corbett gets back

Interesting. The most obvious long-term lineup is Ickey, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton ... why delay getting 4 of those 5 pieces in place?

Possible reasons:

  • Corbett is further away than expected? Meaning we need Zavala at RG for much longer than 3 weeks.
  • Corbett is moving to LG when he gets back.
  • The coaches think Zavala will have no issues moving back his college position of LG once Corbett returns.
  • The coaches are slow playing it so Brady doesn't feel that he is being replaced in the starting lineup.

1000% guessing but I think they don’t want to mix up 2 different positions from their starting lineup vs 1. All they want to worry about is the best player to play LG and the rest of the OL should be the same. When Corbet comes back we already has experience/ chemistry with Moton and Bozeman so he can slide right back into RG while Zavala can flip to LG with some experience under his belt  and hopefully lock down that spot for many years.

Meaningless now, but it wasn't so meaningless to the guy trying to win the head coaching job at the time.

He was never going to win the job and that should’ve been communicated to him as we were mindful of protecting our long term assets rather than pretending to interview 

now the bill has predictably come due 

also lol at the notion that Steve Wilks should be commended for putting his own career aspirations above the good health of his players

We were a Tampa bay win away from making the playoffs.

How were those games meaningless?

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