Martin played well last night.  Koochie played all world tonight. Necas with 4 points was to me the 2nd star. But Koochie was the reason we won.  

Marty was involved in EVERY Canes goal... 

 

Dude is a Hart contender.. .

 

Koooochiekov made of for putting us down 1-0 MARTY MADE THE REST HAPPEN

Luckily I think we could have close to $30mil in cap space next year so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll defer to @Anybodyhomefor the stats and cap numbers 

Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume.

The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D.

Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year.

Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed? 

Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal. 

If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay.

So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able.

Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.

Excellent analysis, is Freddie's contract up this year? if so we need another goalie to come out of the cap space.

Well said. Where would Nikishin fit into these numbers?

Freddie is indeed a UFA. And, to be clear, I don't think there's any way he's back next year. So, yeah, add his salary back to the cap room, and remember he'll have to be replaced.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By frankw · Posted

      Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
