Hall and Mikko will play tonight for the Canes as well. 
 

The Canes will have 35-40m in cap space to fill out the team. Mikko wants 8x14m, give it to him. Let burns and Orlov walk and play nikishin and the younger guys on defense and/or make a smart signing in FA. 


go get a goalie and fill out the rest of the wingers with 10-12m in cap space. 

I have a feeling burns will be back on a one year deal   If he plays less minutes, I’m all for it.  Nikishin and Morrow will be up next year to replace Orlov and maybe Walker. 
 

Depending on how Freddie does in the playoffs, it will be him and koochie or someone else and koochie. 
 

we still need a center.  Badly. If that’s one of prospects, wonderful, if not, I fully expect them to go get a good one. $30 plus mill is a ton to work with. Esp when we already have a solid core. 
 

and yes, I fully expect moose to sign with us. We have the money. Pay him. Yo I don’t get top 6 to top 10 NHL players often. We now have one. Better than anyone on this team in including aho. Better than Guentzel. On par with prime Eric Staal. A true ELITE star.

They could put Mikko on the second line and run something like this and fix the center issue. 
 

Sevch - Aho - Blake

Hall - Mikko - Jarvis

Marty - Staal - Jaaska 

Robinson - KK - Roslovic

That’s four strong lines imo and Jost and Carrier coming back for the playoffs gives some movement wing wise.

I think we bring Burns back on a team friendly deal if he doesn't retire.

Definitely a possibility for sure, I was just saying that even if they give Mikko 14m AAV, they would have 9 forwards, 4 defenseman and 1 goalie with 26m in cap space left over. If Nikshin comes over like expected then that’s 5 defenseman plus a ton of youth that should be ready to come up.

I just hope we keep our farm system top tier with the new GM. It is such a nice thing to have guys constantly coming up and contributing.

Yeah, Rantanen is arguably a superstar level player, which we don't have.

It's not really arguable he's been Mckinnons Draisaitl.... top 5 in points the last five years, 55 goal season will probably have his fourth 40+ this year. 

 

He's a superstar he was PPG plus even with Mckinnon out.

 

We have that now.

 

This guy CAN SCORE

KK seems like an obvious option to move but he really has to start humming so we can sell high like we did with Necas. I love Necas but I don't think you will see him blossom into a consistent 100 point scorer like Rantanen is.

I think he has a shot of that in Colorados system him feeding Mcdavid he's gonna rack up assists. Rantanen is a pure goal scorer who can also distribute he won't get Rantanen numbers but I could see him putting up 30 50 with Colorado

Robinson and Roslovic are both UFAs after this season.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
