Definitely time something happened. Think Brindamore is just gonna ride out his contract through next year and retire. Let's start getting help on the wing or keep Staal at winger, grab a young center, couple more forwards, couple dmen and start leaning back towards contending for the Cup!

We should end up with the first pick, so we'll probably get Hall, and can probably snag a good young defender in round 2. Maybe pick up some extra picks through some trades as well. We'd have a nice young core of players, also think it's time to see what some of the Rat's prospects can do in the NHL. Should definitely look completely different next season.

If Rod doesn't want to retire at the end of the season it's time to buy out his contract.

This season? No. He's done too much for the organization to just say "sorry, here's some cash." He has the rest of this season and next season to play out his contract. Then, if he wants out, we let him walk. If he wants a buy out, we do it, obviously. But we don't just make it a forgone conclusion. Not a smart move. Great leader. Great player. Great person. Let him stay through his contract.

Some Info on the trading front, Darren Dreger is reporting that the Canes have asked Wallin and Whitney to wave their NTC. Expect a move soon Likely involving the Kings or Canucks. The link also shows who the Canes are trying to move.

Available Canes...Whitney, Cullen, Walker, Yelle, Alberts, Wallin, Ward, Legace...

      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)

      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.
