Yay. We get to have more years where we dominate the season and go limp dick in the playoffs. Because Rod will never change anything. 
I am aware there is no one better out there than Rod I just don’t believe he can change. Guess we’ll find out. 

Well, you have the option to change and start pulling for another team. 

But, I guess it's okay for you not to change, but somebody else must?

Rod definitely deserves one more year. This was the first time the team went out and got mercenaries for the playoff run at the trade deadline. Guentzel paid off big time. The 2023 team probably would have beaten Florida if they’d done ANYTHING at the deadline last year.

This year was unfortunate because they ran into a very good Rangers team and they held their ground, but the lack of success on the power play ultimately sunk them. There were moments they looked like the obviously better team and moments they looked like they didn’t belong on the same ice as the Rangers. That inconsistency is what Rod needs to fix for his next playoff run. 

They need to retool the roster and assess the roster for a playoff run at the trade deadline like normal contending teams do. Those extra mercenaries are what put teams over the top in the playoffs.

It’s not that I don’t like Rod. He is actually my favorite coach of all time next to Jerry Moore from App State that run of 3 straight nattys with the Michigan win was 2nd to none.  My issue with rod is he beats up on regular season teams then once he gets to the playoffs, our scoring drops or our goalie play sucks. Every year. Last year, goalie play was good but we couldn’t score. This year, scoring was there but our goalie play was bad. We scored three or more goals in all but 1 game Vs rangers. That should be enough to get you wins in playoff games.   It’s one of the other ever single playoffs.  Also, his man vs zone is a real thing. Burns had a terrible playoffs. It wasn’t good. Him chasing his guy vs playing zone may have benefited him. You can still check, hit your man, and get back to your area. 
 

Like I said, I love rod but his playoff resume is like one poster said, it’s .514. Its average. Average for a cup contender isn’t good.  He needs to change his tune of some philosophy and loyalty to aging vets and goalies.

What does RBA do to change his "philosophy?" You want him to play man during the regular season, dominate just as they have for the last 6 years and then change to zone during the playoffs? If the Canes tried that, they'd get swept in the first round. Can't take a team built to play man and change it to zone with the wave of a hand.

Goal-tending? Yes, Freddie was bad this year. Contrary to popular belief, his playoff numbers are very good: career 2.48 GA with a .916 save %. Last year he was 1.83/.927 and the prior year 1.84/.936. What more could you ask?

Lack of scoring? Yes, it was what hurt the Canes last season. It was addressed this season and appeared not to be the issue.

So, what exactly do want RBA to change? Freddie was bad when he's normally been very good. Scoring was there this year, but not last. How does RBA fix that? How does RBA figure out which issue is going to rear its head and cost the Canes a Cup? Injuries, players performance, poor goal-tending.

Million dollar questions. I have no clue.  The athletic did write a good article on it. They did mention changing to zone in the regular season to start the year. Your players are still going to play  well, and may save them some wear and tear as well.

Why is it when someone has the first bit of criticism fans like you say switch teams. I have been a fan of the Hurricanes since 1998 so why would I change?
Also what I am suggesting and what you said is not the same thing.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
