It’s your pal @USDepartmentOfSavagery.

Rod said something interesting last night in the PG Interview: “we love our team”. 
 

The TDL is always an unpredictable and often volatile time for Canes fans as the team either A) pulls out a trade out of nowhere or B) kicks the tires on the perceived available talent. 
 

With Rants out for a bit (blessing in disguise?), Freddy - who actually knows, and Kooch being the best unhinged but good version of himself, should the Canes make a move in the crease?

What should or shouldn’t they do elsewhere?

I like the current construction of the team and unless something unforeseen becomes available, am cool with standing pat at the TDL and rolling with what we’ve got.

I heard that too. I get torn between adding a goalie and a goal scorer.  I still lean towards adding a goal scorer. Rod said something along the lines of “ you don’t want to screw up what you have” but he said they make their big moves in the off-season. So who knows.

He referred to the people upstairs and said “ya, were always trying to get better but you don’t want to mess up what you have.”
 

Like I said in the goalie tracker thread I think everything is contingent on Freddie. We already have a full roster even with Freddie on IR. So we’re either moving players to free up space. Unless we suffer *knock on wood* a season ending injury between now and the TDL I don’t see us making any moves. UNLESS Freddie isn’t coming back this season. 
 

Even if Freddie comes back and we could get something for Martin it would probably just be picks, as we are 23/23 with Freddie on IR and would need that last roster spot.

*Tinfoil hat time* it’s been a while for an “Illness” perhaps he has something else not disclosed either. Plus he’s UFA so his value wouldn’t be high… but it’s a weird response from Rod. *tinfoil hat off*

He finally got the cast off, but they found a pretty bad case of crotch rot...

Ya… I’m going to pass.

We’d be sending like Jarvis, Necas and a defensemen there way for him and still not have the cap space unless they retained. No thank you.

And frankly if we even thought about moving Aho/Svech/Slavin I’d disown this team.

No inside info but I think the package would have been something like Necas, Nikishin, Nadeau, two first round picks, and one second round pick.

and that is way too much for EP who wants somewhere in the neighborhood of $12M/year. 

He doesn't fit with our salary structure and isn't worth everything you listed, especially Nikishin, 2 1st round picks and a 2nd?  That is crazy on our part.

Necas, a prospect not named Nikishin, and a draft pick maybe, but for EP for the playoffs and then having to make sure to be able to extend him for the $$ he is looking for is a pass for me.

Ditto. We’d need an NFL level cap jump(not going to happen) to be able to fit him in and keep our core.

The rumor is he’s in the 90-96 million range offer. Which over 8 years is 11.25-12M so they are offering what he wants but he still isn’t taking it so far. Maybe the dude just doesn’t want to be in Vancouver anymore.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
