Yeah, whatever happened to "team before self?"

I'd rather have Cups, but more and more these guys want the $$$ and to win the championships.  Mikko won't find it with Dallas this year, he found it with the Avs because they had Makar on a rookie contract.

Anyways, I love the Canes...nothing changes that and despite the hate RBA gets I'd rather have him on our bench than basically all but 2 other current NHL coaches.

Rod`s system made Mikko want to leave. There I said it.

Word is it wasn’t on the ice mostly, it was the area once he got to be around for a week or so that he informed the team that not only would he not sign before the deadline but that he wasn’t interested in signing with Carolina at all.

So the other weird thing is Mikko basically accepted the same deal from Dallas that he refused to sign in Colorado?  Why didn’t he just sign the extension with them?  If 12mm AAV isn't enough, why not wait until the offseason?

Only thing I can think of is he got spooked that his value would plummet in the last stretch of the season with the Canes.

He realized nobody was paying him the 15 million he wanted and wanted to go to a safe team like Dallas where other dudes could carry him like MacKinnon did while avoiding taxes

The same deal in Dallas was worth about 800k per year more than in Colorado and 500k more than NC

 

Over an 8 year deal that's about 5.5m more take home on the same "deal"

lets hope she hates it in Texas and makes his life miserable

Yep also makes what I’ve heard from friends around the team make a ton of sense. It was totally off ice and it was recent decision not to sign, they just got in town recently with the GF and bam, decided not to sign with Carolina.
 

They talked to him and his camp pre Colorado deal and they said he would sign and gave Carolina the price. Carolina met the price and pretty much immediately offered it to him. 

 

So yeah, totally the GF not liking the area.  Oh well, how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Just to add this. 
what I heard was correct, they did talk to Mikko and his agent prior to the Colorado trade and got feedback that he would accept a contract from Carolina. Friedman confirmed it on his podcast.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
