Canes have played bad, average, well and everything in between. Goalie play is very bad. Very bad. Watching the game..and many others this year…this team is has three issues.  Goalie. Very bad this year. 2….defense. It’s just missing it.  3. We are old in key spots.  The extra 4th is goal scoring. It was good tonight but could have been 4 goals better.

 

Goalie play will be this teams downfall unless they make a move. Now I see why the canes went so heavy..and missed… on defense in the offseason. They aren’t that good anymore. 
 

unfortunately I have come to the realization after tonight. We are 50/50 to maybe get into the playoffs.  The team has become average. We lack a game changer. Aho and Slavin are close and unfortunately Svech is above average.  That’s prob where he will be. Nothing on this team is elite. Right now, for better or worse the fate of this team rests on one man. It’s not Rod, Aho, or Slavin. It’s Waddell. If he doesn’t get us players…..we are done. It’s sad, but true.

We have basically until the end of January, IMO. If we are still all over the map and can't develop some consistency, we are definitely in trouble. 

I don't care if we limp into the playoffs provided that we are playing our best hockey the month before they begin. 

Florida last year kinda is proof of that in the NHL now...

 

And honestly I think they get in regardless I just want them to peak at the right time...

I like to bring this up when it’s relevant and it’s relevant now more than ever.

In January of 2019, the St Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL. They then went on an improbable run and made the playoffs and eventually won the Stanley Cup… What changed you might ask, well the Blues called up Jordan Binnington and he proceeded to go 24-5-1 with a .927 save %.

All this to say that the season doesn’t start until January and if the Canes can find CONSISTENT goaltending then they’ll have a chance.

My biggest issue is simply that we didn’t get 2 points vs. division rivals(pitts and islanders). Though we have a whole poo ton of division coming up those two games we really needed 2. 
 

Smacking Vegas up side the head doesn’t really help us in the long run. Though it sounded like Edmonton did us a solid vs. our division rivals after kicking us in the nuts in Edmonton.

Get us a goalie.  My point the whole time.  Add a goal scorer. Make an improbable situation happen twice.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
