If we knew for a fact we were gonna have a legit defense I would say do it for one year. Defense has too many question marks and the potential to be sub par to think we could try to win it all this year though. Owens has calmed down and all we need is some legit #2 play and this offense will be beastly....and he could do that. Did it in Buffalo with his mouth shut.

if a team is a #2 WR away from a Superbowl squad Owens makes sense. If not, teams should stay away.

I used to hate T.O. and the thought of him being here would piss me off. Now, not so much. His skills along with attitude have both decreased. Couldn't care either way. Wouldnt be bad to rent for one season

I would not want T.O here simply because I would not want him to take up a roster spot.

On the other hand, another veteran WR could be nice, especially if he would take the time to mentor some of our up and coming talent.

But we would not have that up and coming talent on the roster if we bring in veterans. What a lovely catch 22.

On a side note, I still see us bringing in another DT befor the season begins. Might not be big name, but we love pulling in players other teams discard. With the talent that was at DT and CB in the draft, could be some value out there after teams cut to 53.

I feel the same way but from looking at the Panthers moves lately such a thing would be a luxury. Steve Smith will have to be that guy. He has already stated that he'd be up to the challenge.

Good thing about that catch 22 is that we do have young talented players to speak of.

I don't really see the harm in it. He knows he's not a #1 receiver anymore so that should settle the dispute with Smitty. Also he seems much more mature than in earlier years. The Panthers are betting all their cards on Jarrett and Armanti to step up, why not have a little insurance and bring in a proven vet?

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
