Per WRAL:

Aaron Ward's deal is done and he's a healthy scratch for tonight's game in TO. Their probably waiting to announce the deal till tomorrow so Ottawa (my guess) can save a little $ on his per day salary. Now the question is....what's coming back the other way.

They TRADED Aaron Ward? JR is a master. There is nothing else I can even begin to say...

Hawk.. do you think they'll trade one of their goaltenders? I heard Price was Gainey's boy.. so maybe with Halak showing the world he can play, does Price get moved? Or do they capitalize on Halak's value?

Yeah Aaron ward has been a bust this season. There are talks now of Whitney not going anywhere. Going to be an interesting 24 hrs.

Yea, It's part him forcing where he goes because of the NTA and him wanting an extension....plus what the canes are asking for. A 1st plus a prospect.

dont like the 3rd for Andrew Alberts, would have preferred to keep him for that hes a bottom pairing big physicaly guy we need.

Robbed Washington for Pothier, Osala, and their 2nd rounder in 2011.

Walker for a 7th round pick isnt much but he hasn't played hardly at all in 2 years, just a salary dump ultimately.

Aaron Ward gone thank God.

Currently have

Gleason-Pitkanen

Picard-Carson

Pothier? / Nobody on D

looks like the team expects, McBain, Rodney, or Harrison to be able to step up and play.

Good trades...JR did some damn fine work with the Corvo trade. Canes now have a ton of 2nd rounds and has some flexibility with what they can do in the draft. I like getting Osala in that trade, he could be a nice pickup.

As for Whitney not being moved, it's what I thought. He didn't want to go anywhere and the only deal that Whitney even new about was the one from a month ago..Which he shot down with the contract extension.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
