Parise + Kovalchuck + Lemaire trap game + Brodeur is pretty damn scary no matter how you slice it.

but just thought i would add that i think it could be too, hawk and personally I think it's pretty pooty for the (even though they may be relatively few in number) passionate hockey fans in Atlanta.

also, everybody who "knows hockey" says the loss of Oduya will hurt them as he was the only one who can move the puck. but if they get Martin back before the playoffs they should be fine.

Kovalchuck sweepstakes will resume this summer 2010 :lol: who the hell knows where he'll go next.

Then how the hell are the same teams still in the top of the league every year and still signing top talent all the time? Since there is a cap, then make it lower.

There's a cap and a floor. This is kind of a dumb question. How is any team dominant year in and year out in leagues with a cap? Their GMs make good decisions.

How do teams like Detroit and New Jersey continue to sign all-stars at every position? Detroit is like the Yankees of the NHL. It's getting old seeing them in the Finals just about every year. There doesn't seem to be a great level of competition like there is in the NFL where no one can come close to predicting how the season is going to go. In the NHL you could put a thousand bucks or so on Detroit every year to make it to the finals and 9 times out of 10 you'll win.

      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.
