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.

Canadian teams generally have to offer more than American teams due to taxes to offer a fair market value. An EP contract on the Canes would look (slightly) less expensive imo. 
 

All this to say, it isn’t happening, but I’d be all for it.

      What Exactly Is Your Criteria for Bryce in 2024 to Have Faith In Him Moving Forward 2025+ ??

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There's really two parts to this question.   1) What does Bryce have to do to prove that he was worthy of the 1st overall pick (and the Panthers trade up to acquire said pick) and be seen as the franchise QB/face of the organization for the foreseeable future?  2) What does Bryce have to do to be a serviceable starter past this season and allow the team to be in a position of not being desperate in their next try at acquiring a franchise QB? I don't think Bryce is capable of ever living up to the expectation of the 1st overall pick and being a franchise QB.  His physical limitations will not allow him to ever be that QB.   He could, however, show enough to be a placeholder.  Not what you want out of this deal but it's better than him being released at the end of the season.  Minimum of 6-8 wins with him showing he can lead the offense (scoring around 17-24 points per game on offense) and make plays when it matters especially as the end of the season nears.  It will also show that Morgan is capable of assembling a competitive roster and Caneles is capable of installing a modern NFL offense.   Then you wait and draft/sign/trade for a franchise QB when the situation is to your best advantage.  This is how the Chiefs got Mahomes, the Eagles got Hurts, the Ravens got Jackson and the Packers got both Rodgers and Love.  Or we luck into it like the Patriots did with Brady and the 49er's did with Purdy.

      BREAKING: Panthers signing Rashad Penny

      By TD alt · Posted

      The only reason---which is a significant reason---that Penny is not miles (no pun intended) ahead of Sanders is due to health. Availability is the best ability in this case. When Penny is able to play, he has been the better back. His career averages in both running and receiving are markedly better, and Miles has arguably been playing behind a better line.

      That being said, when was the last time you saw Freddie spending more time sprawled on the ice versus keeping his feet? Playoff Freddie is not the same goalie who played exceptionally well since coming back from his medical issue. We're seeing someone other than regular season Freddie and I'm not impressed, especially the last 3-4 games.
