Looks like Guentzel is gone and will sign with Tampa for the offer the canes gave him minus the extra year

Tampa looks to be 7 for $9M versus Carolina's 8 for 8 deal. Florida has the better offer with no state taxes, but they're old and not a realistic shot at the Cup any time soon.

We`re just the same ol Canes. Just when we thought we had scoring help, it goes away. On the other hand, our pp didnt do poo in the playoffs and we were a different team overall. Looks like no Cup in sight for this team as we keep doing the same sh!t over and over hoping for a different result. I think there is a term for that.

Good news is this clears the way to bring necas and Skjei back while also making a solid run at Stamkos.  Honestly, if we do that then it’s really not that big of a drop off. It’s arguably the same if not a little better.  Stamkos would solve a 2nd line center problem we have and Jarvis will be even better. I would argue Jarvis will be better than AHO in a year.

Instant offense. A leader and someone that can run a power play. Too me, this makes too much sense.  Guentzel to Tampa and Stammer comes to Carolina.

Necas is gone, unless they are going to put him on the second line at center.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
