Dockett wants Peppers to join the Cards

I know we are Panther fans so we have to act like Pep slapped our mother or something.........but reality is Peppers handled that pretty dang professionally. He wanted out......he never said a word during the season. He waited until football was done and expressed in one statement how he felt......nothing more. That ain't throwing a team under the bus. Peppers has a job and you can't handle wanting to leave much better.

i'd take boldin and a 2nd quickly.

i'd even take pep for boldin straight up. better than letting pep walk or paying him $20mil next year.

2 Questions......in an uncapped year does it really matter how much we pay him?

and in an uncapped year some teams are forbidden from trading for or signing FA.......did the Cardinals reach that level?

No we have to keep Pep here!!

thank you, someone who realizes the importance of key players.

Although Breaston and a one would be pretty convincing. There aren't many guys like Pep that come around very often, he is not a leader or anything, but he does motivate when motivated, and when that happens, our defense is very good.

we don't have an unlimited supply of money and it's really just the principle. i think that all these guys are grossly overpaid for what they do but that $20mil for one year is crossing the line into the obscene. he just isn't worth it and i'd rather use that money to commit to other guys who are going to be here for a long time. that $20mil can easily go to pay 3 or 4 guys really well.

cards are part of the final eight plan that restricts what they can do in FA but they have a lot of FAs who could be heading out the door so i don't know that they will have a problem with the restrictions. still, a trade is going to be the easiest way for them to address the need they have at ROLB/RDE.

Do you think he still wants to be here?

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
