Martin - “get outta here with that weak azz puck shot” lol

That was the highlight of the night. As I watched, it was almost in slo-mo, like them squaring off, sizing each other up, the theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" playing....

Martin is the polar opposite of Kochetkov in net. There's a calmness, a smoothness to Martin's play that almost makes Kochetkov look frantic. Martin, even when hit or going down to the ice seems in control, his heads always forward, where the puck is. Seems like he always has his glove and stick in good position.

 I think with more playing time he will continue to improve and settle into his comfort zone, with Freddie out long term or maybe for the season, I could see him fitting into the rotation nicely.

I mean, he isn’t exactly a young buck. He has been on and off in the NHL since 2016-2017. Also toting a career GAA of 3.49 and a SV% of .887.

We generally make goalies look better with our system than they actually are. Relying on Martin long term is going to be a tough proposition.

To be fair, his stats are not good on the bad teams he played on. His stats are actually good with the good teams.

Look at his season splits and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The Canes keep winning and scoring four plus goals a game without one their 65+ point forwards.

Meanwhile Martinook is on pace for 58 points, Ghost is on pace for 62 points, and Jackson Blake is on pace for 25 goals. 

And Roslovic is playing the season of his career with 9 goals tied with Necas. Necas has finally reached his potential with a team leading 26 points already.

He has only really ever played well here, TBH. To that point, that is his first career shutout in 54 career starts.

I think we can win some games with him but he is also likely to be the sole reason we lose some games.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
