do you realize that 16 games a season is already brutal on players? not to mention the guys having to play in post season.. 16 games is perfect, any more than that would result in unnecessary injuries. This isn't baseball, the players can't handle it.

as much as I would LOVE to have more football, it just aint gonna happen :P

Basketball is pretty brutal too. Not so much the contact part, but the sheer amount of games almost back-to-back is ridiculous.

i don't think two more games would hurt anyone and a lot of teams rarely make the playoffs. Also players get injured in the preseason sometimes. In the 3rd preseason game, many teams play starters into the third quarter.

IF two more games is too much, how about one more game and a two game preseason. Or how about two more games with an additional bye week?

I should have added a whimsical icon or too bad this can't really happen for one year while our favorite team finally decides to play thier best ball when it's all for naught. Or not.

I agree. 16 games is just right.

      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.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
