Might as well get it started. 
 

Aho/Svech/Jarvis/Orlov/Slavin/Chatty are about all I care to keep. Guentzel at the right price.

Rod needs to answer some tough questions and probably surround himself with some different assistants. 

Gleason is fine. If Rod decides to come back and Dundon goes for it send Daniel’s to coach Chicago as a “promotion” he can still develop talent well.

I agree with this, would love to see Daniels go coach Chicago.  Maybe bring Justin down to the bench?

I believe we'll be younger and more inexperienced next year, and our defense will be different.  Still question signing Orlov.  He probably had his worst season with us since 2018-19 or 19-20 seasons while playing less minutes.  He was a luxury I don't think we had to have, but that die has been cast now.

Next year who should be back?

  • Aho
  • Svech
  • Jarvy (gotta get him signed, bridge deal so we can sign Guentzel)
  • Guentzel (gotta hope we can sign him to a fair deal that won't cripple us)
  • Necas (I know there will be debate, but he is very skilled and won't be easy to replace)
  • Staal (if he doesn't retire)
  • Fast (please let him stay healthy)
  • KK (boy that "reasonable" contract isn't looking so hot and I don't think we can get someone to take him off our hands...will take a sweetner to do it)
  • Kuzy (another gamble that looked good for about 3-4 games now looks bad, buyout?)
  • Martinook only if it's a really team friendly deal...no more than $1M/yr
  • Noesen - think he's gone, team has to get the younger guys in
  • Drury - will be interesting, fine 4th line player but shouldn't overpay
  • Turbo - again, it will have to be a very friendly team deal if he wants to stay, otherwise I think Turbotime has expired
  • Lemiuex - signed for another year to be a healthy scratch most of the season
  • Slavin - back
  • Burns - back
  • Orlov - back
  • Skjei - I hope we can re-sign him to a fair deal
  • Pesce - don't see him back in a Canes sweater
  • Chatty - would like to re-sign to a fair deal
  • TDA - hasta la vista

Who should get the call to the roster:

  • Morrow - welcome to the deep end kid
  • FUS - really think he is going to be good
  • Blake - let's see what you got young man
  • Honka - actually rated higher than Morrow by scouts
  • Nadeau - see Blake
  • Suzuki, Gunler?? 

Of course who knows what the brain trust is going to do!

Going Young: 

Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis

Svech - KK - Necas

Nadeau - Staal - Fast

Blake - Drury - FUS

Lemiuex

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Skjei

Chatty - Morrow

Honka

Andersen (1a/b)
Koochie (1a/b)
Perets

Heck I have no idea........

Yeah, I think next year will be a semi-rebuild/bridge year until we get nikishkin here. But... If we are able to have those lines you have above next year, I will be thrilled. 

 

Edit: I'm fairly certain Staal retires or goes to another team next year

I think they still have the talent to make the playoffs... probably as a wc. But yeah Nikishin is gonna be a star I can tell you that he's gonna be our Cale Makar

 

That said we need a 2C I think it's Jarvis.

It’s not good when our 2C is Staal. I believe Jarvy could be like Trocheck but a little better.

Staal won't go to another team, he's signed for another year....maybe 2.  He may retire, but I don't get that feeling.

      Predictions from observer staff on game today

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Game predictions All three of our predictors guessed last week that the Panthers would lose to the Miami Dolphins. All were wrong. That moves Fowler to 4-1 on the year, with Kaye and Zietlow each at 1-4. Fowler: Panthers 30, Dallas 27. The Cowboys are known for playing entertaining games this season due to a high-powered offense and low-level defense. I think Carolina pulls the mild upset here, with Bryce Young playing about as well as Dak Prescott and Carolina’s running game providing the difference. Bonus prediction: Tetairoa McMillan scores his first NFL TD. Kaye: Cowboys 33, Panthers 30.  The top offense in the league is likely to come out firing on Sunday, as Dallas looks to get over the .500 hump after five games (including one tie). Will the Panthers be able to keep pace? I actually think they will, for the most part. There’s a lot of boom-or-bust to the Cowboys’ defense, and while the unit is starting to find its footing, I think Bryce Young will still have a good afternoon. Look for Tetairoa McMillan to catch his first touchdown pass in a shootout. But I still think Dallas has a better brand of ball at the moment.   Zietlow: Cowboys 35, Panthers 31.                    I look at the Cowboys’ league-worst third-down percentage as a defense and can’t help but feel some optimism. Tag that with the other opportunities this defense could allow for Bryce Young, and a motivated Rico Dowdle, and a refreshed Xavier Legette ... and there’s excitement, for sure. Still, the Cowboys have gone toe-to-toe with the NFL’s best this season. Their quarterback is electric. Their tight end is prolific. Their defensive secondary is due for one of its patented turnover bonanzas. And to top it all off ... the Panthers will have a “home field advantage” in name only. There will be a lot of Cowboys fans in the crowd. A lot. It just doesn’t add up to a Panthers win to me. I’m rolling with America’s Team.
