Why Rivera was the right hire?

D was good last year, to think they won't improve somewhat is ridiculous.

As Catman said, we already have half the equation.

Man I'm right there with you, but I keep thinking about how last offseason we were all convinced we had a strong running game.

I don't see why everyone thinks we're gonna run JJ's 4-3 just because McDermott is gonna be our DC. From what I remember, Rivera ran an Aggressive Tampa 2 in Chicago, and a 3-4 in San Diego. I can totally see us having multiple Defensive sets depending on the other team's offense and not just one style of defense like we've become accustomed to. We'll have to wait and see what kind of defense we get, but one thing you know about a Rivera defense is that it's very disciplined and a really good tackling unit. That's a positive.

Sounds like we will run a more complicated, aggressive defense for sure. However, it may take a few years just for our defense to adjust and learn the new Defense. I wouldn't expect too much next year as far as different looks and improvement. We may even be set back before we get better.

      Off Season Thread

      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.
