Predictions before this game. Where the Canes ending up this season?

Me personally? I think we end the season in the 2nd round. Offseason was meh in the grand scheme. We need scorers and we just don't have enough consistent ones. Also, please move on from Raanta and get the boy Pyotr as the backup goalie by now for Christ sake.

Blue line is stronger and we have more scoring going into the season than we did last year. If younger players take another step in their progression IE. Jarvis, Necas, KK, Svech comes back stronger and Tuevo has a bounce back year, we will be more than okay. Burns, Orlov, and TDA are scoring machines on the BL.

Who was available that you wanted to trade for or sign?

I wanted them to make the trade for Marner in the offseason. That was the rumor and it didn't happen.

Thinking these guys take another step is what I've thought they would do for a while. They haven't. Necas took a step last year, but he still sucked in the Playoffs.  Don't get me started on Svech. That man went 20 full games last year without scoring a goal before he tore his ACL. It's past time he became a superstar. 

Again. The past 4 years have shown us, unless you have that go to guy scoring, you're not going to go far in the Offs. This team has been the number 1 defensive team for a while now, and what has that got us? It's past time to try to find that go to guy scoring and we STILL do not have that on the team. 2nd round exit is my prediction. But hey, we're going to defend the hell out of that puck. LOL.

Not to mention Necas, TT and our second defensive pair are in contract years. That alone will keep a fire under their ass.

Necas was in a contract year a year ago and had one of his worst years. That's how we got him on a 2 year deal for damn near nothing.

Not sure that's what I stated, but he is a consistent goal scorer. 

WTF does him going past the second round have to do with anything? Are you high this morning?

We made the CF without Svech and a broken Tuevo. We destroyed the Devils along the way and despite what anyone else thinks, we outplayed Florida every single game in my opinion. We just got goalied. There’s a luck factor and the playoffs can be a crapshoot. Vegas is built very similarly to us talent wise and they won the SC by destroying that same Florida team. I’d say we are deeper than them.

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
