Orlov-Skjei have the 5th most ice time of any pairing combo this season. Brady skates his off side (on the right) when they are on the ice together.

I really don’t get what Rod/Tim are doing I somewhat get it with Pesce back now but from before. Every time they pair Orlov and Skjei for a game orlov made progress and looked a lot more settled. Then they would immediately go back to orlov and TDA. Even though it’s obviously our weakest pairing. Then we lose, then they would go back to Orlov Skjei… makes no sense to me.

But the stats don't explain how 2 lefties are on the ice together when they typically don't play their off side. 11 of the first 15 games of the season on the road and not having last change greatly effects who is on the ice at any given stoppage.

I would venture to say that despite the ice time they've enjoyed together thus far, it's not been intentional. Especially given the fact Skjei has absolutely zero career history of playing his off side.

It doesn't make sense because Skjei, as I've said before, has no career history of playing on his off side. Although I'm sure he has done so, as evidenced by the Orlov experiment, how much of his offensive game is lost on his off side? Look at the Pesce - Skjei pairing. Skjei is the guy who will jump up long before Pesce will. And I would hazard a guess that watching back any of the games when Orlov and Skjei were on the ice together that Skjei stayed back and rarely, if ever, had a shot on goal from the right side.

Hindsight being what it is…those two should have never been signed here. 

It's still a bit early to give up on Demi compltely...

We know dude can play, just gotta figure out how/if he fits in our system.

Tony can fly his ass to the moon for all I care at this point...

Ya I haven’t given up on Orlov… he shows flashes when he’s not partnered with TDA. I feel like Donny Wads kinda fuged up with the TDA trade, not trade, signing.

Canes shake up defense

"It seems that Rod Brind'Amour has once again reached his limit with his defense's lapses."

"For the remainder of the game, Dmitry Orlov ended up paired with Brett Pesce and Brady Skjei was with Tony DeAngelo, but Skjei and Pesce still wound up back together more often that not for key moments."

"During the morning practice, it appeared that Jalen Chatfield had swapped back in on the third pair alongside Orlov, with DeAngelo rotating in as a healthy extra."

It’s curious that we are going slavo on PP1.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
