Icky is having a great year and played better at LT than Christensen.

Mayes at C over Christensen is the headscratcher to me.

Mayes has a weight advantage at Center.  Christensen’s versatility is valuable but better on the outside than the interior IMO. Mays can also play multiple spots along the interior. I think we’re in the best position we’ve been in years with the OL.

A lineman that can backup both center and LT is worth his weight in gold. Those are 2 of the most crucial positions in the team. Please retain Brady. 

Hunt’s mentorship of Ickey is, and will continue to pay off in spades. In the next 1-2 years, he’ll be a top 5 LT. 

Mark it 8, dude. 

I’d still prefer Ickey @ G but would be ecstatic if this panned out. I’m still concerned that he’ll continue to struggle with speed rushers. Not sure why we don’t use more TE sets to help him on the blindside.

Hunt would be having a pro bowl season if he was on a playoff team. And Lewis will be here another 2 years with that contract he got. I don’t think at this point guard is an option in the near future.

Hoping Cade can be our center moving forward, and I can't believe I'm saying that.  Also would pay Brady to replace Moton either next year or after.  Still want to draft an OL every year.

I’m hoping Moton will retire a Panther. He’s been a steady presence on that OL for years and it would be ashamed to let him go.

I imagine starting Cade Mays has everything to do with him already being under contract next season and Christensen not.

If they feel like the performance level is similar, they probably want to see if Mays can play well enough down the stretch to win the starting job going into next season.

Plus, yeah, Brady Christensen is an excellent depth player given he can play literally every position on the OL at a solid level. Personally, I'd like to see us extend him regardless just for that alone.

He might legitimately be the most versatile OL in the league.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
