1. Yes, Rod is the guy. No, you can't find anyone a better fit for this organization. You let Rod walk, you'll see a lot of free agents walk as well.

2. Guentzel and Jarvis are both priorities. If Guentzel doesn't want to stay, Necas becomes a priority.

3. Freddie is under contract thru next season. Pyotr is still a season or 2 away and Martin was a stop-gap. Won't surprise me if Freddie and Pyotr alternate next season unless an exceptional goalie becomes available in free agency.

4. I have a feeling both Staal and Burns retire. Martinook was a bargain at $1.8M AAV and he'll get another 2-3 years at $2.5M AAV, I think.

5. Necas wants around $7.5M AAV and his production was down significantly this season. From 71 points in 22-23 to 53 this season. Canes will try to get as much as they can for him because they cannot keep him and Guentzel without serious cuts elsewhere.

6. Pesce is all but gone, making Skjei the top defender to keep.

7. Morrow will be up this coming season. Nikishin isn't available until 25-26, is he?

8. The top lines didn't perform as well as they should have. Look at the goal scorers against NY: Staal, Martinook, Kuznetsov, Noesen, Skjei, Burns, Orlov. The top lines scored in 2 games, but the bottom lines are who prevented the sweep.

Necas doesn’t want to be here unless he’s on the top line. He’s gone for sure, 100%. 
 

Nikishin still has a year left on his deal unless he buys himself out. 
 

Staal and Burns are gone as well, I agree with both retiring. 
 

Chatfield will probably cost 3-4 a season over 4 or 5 years. 
 

Pesce and Skeji both want top line money. So 8-9m a season. So I think both are probably gone.

Exit interviews:

Burns and Staal definitely sound like they’ll be back.

Pesce sounds like he wants to be back.

Skjei sounds like he’s gone, looking for a healthy contract.

Guentzel sounded like it could go either way.

Teravainen, couldn’t tell one way or the other.

DeAngelo sounds like he’s gone.

Kuznetsov actually sounded like he might be done, maybe retirement.

Sure if Burns and Staal come back for 1-2m max. Otherwise, bye.

They are already under contract.

I know but both make too much for what they bring at this point in their careers. 
 

I have more thoughts on the team as currently constructed.

 

but hey if everyone wants to run back the same coach and mostly the same players for a great regular season followed by more postseason failures, then by all means run it back.

Unfortunately NHL contracts can’t be reconstructed so if they are with us they’ll be making what they make.

I don’t mind the players except maybe Freddie. My issue is the the philosophies from rod. Man Vs zone. The guys just wore down. Man just fails in the playoffs. Rod needs to change his tune on youth vs loyalty to vets.

Nope, Rod’s system that works wonders in the regular season failed again in the playoffs. 38-36 in the playoffs and no more than 8 wins in any post season run. 
 

Win % is .514
pp is 14.9%
pk is 76% 

4 teams with more wins, tied with the Bruins for 5th. 
10 teams with a better win % in the playoffs over that time period.

Facts. We looked gased in that third. His system just doesn’t work in the playoffs.

It’s Rod’s system that fails in the playoffs. 
 

mvm works during regular season because its effort and skill related and most teams suck. 

 

come playoffs the effort and skill difference aren’t that big. So having lapses where forwards don’t rotate quickly to cover pinching defenders ends up costing the team over and over. 
 

pk is aggressive and teams with skill can make you pay over a series where in the regular season it won’t. 
 

why does it work in one but not the other? 
 

1. lot of bad to awful teams in the NHL

2. it’s a unique system that isn’t seen much, so teams aren’t used to it nor get a ton of practice against it. 
 

Once teams know they are playing you in a series, they’ll practice specifically for your system. 
 

Then bada bing, system looks awful

The system works fine. Special teams and goaltending failed us. We owned the rangers 5v5 and I really don’t know what series you two were watching. Just more sensationalism.

      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.
