We certainly botched the handling of Brooks’s rehab and/or his return to play decision.

I’m still not giving up on Brooks becoming an important contributor to our team. Unfortunately, I don’t think that happens until 2026.

ACL injuries are very routine nowadays and of course our guy had a weird recovery process and tore it again immediately. 

From everything I read it sounded like they were slow playing his return and being extra cautious. Do you know somebody in the training room that knew otherwise? What was weird about it?

Every injury is still different. Thirty years ago and ACL was the equivalent of an Achilles today in that it was pretty much a guaranteed career derailer. These days it's an assumed six month bump in the road but it still doesn't always work out that way. It's still a significant injury and there's a decent chance a guy isn't going to come back the same from it.

If nothing else I hope like hell that Dan Morgan learned his lesson here.

Agreed. But he never should have made that mistake in the first place. Drafting a RB in the 2nd coming off an ACL tear whose not even a generational talent was a low IQ move.

Both about drafting RB's in the first two rounds and especially injured ones.

Every year there are 800+ yd rushing rookies in the 3rd round and lower.

      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.
