Is Tulsky to blame?

Waddell for better or worse had this team filled with competition.  In Tulsky’s first year this team looks unwatchable at times.  I’ve meet him at the arena a few times. Very nice guy.  But, How much blame is on our new GM?  Team is clearly not going in the right direction.  
 

Pussy footed with Guenzal when he wanted to stay. Waited to long to offer the 8-8. Lost him to Tampa. 
 

should have signed an NHL level goalie to work with Koochie when Freddie went down. That one is legit killing us. .500 hockey since Thanksgiving.  
 

didn’t push harder to sign one of our core defenseman last year.

I still think Tulsky was a little hamstrung when it came to cap money after Waddell left. In my opinion, he didn't have enough options to really work any deals. Look at the creativity, and possible rule changes coming as a result, of the Jarvis deal. That kind of illustrated to me there wasn't a lot to work with in the checkbook.

Do I think we could have kept Brady Skjei? Yes. Jake Guentzel? I'm not so sure.

That being said, this team is average right now, and while a lot of that is goal tending, there are several players who need to start looking in the mirror and holding themselves accountable.

After last night's game and the overall performance of the team since Thanksgiving, here's where I'm at:

1. Give Necas the 2C spot. Centers are Aho, Necas, Staal and Drury. Necas wants to be a center and put himself in the conversation to be an $8M player, then let him have the chance. He'll probably be trade bait next year regardless.

2. Top line is Svech, Aho, Jarvis; next is Robinson, Necas, Roslovic; 3rd line Blake, Staal, Martinook; 4th is Jaaska, Drury, KK.

I know this makes the 4th line all lefties, but the roster doesn't have enough right-handed forwards to begin with, that's a Tulsky issue.

The guys I'd be willing to part ways with: Drury, Jaaska, KK and Orlov (Roslovic makes this list if the Canes have already made up their minds not to keep him. He's a UFA in a few months).

This probably doesn't work in reality because RBA is a big fan of Orlov and Drury. And Orlov is the #2 points guy on the blue line behind Gostisbehere, but he is a UFA as well.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
