I think Dan and the team have turned the page.

 

Personally Id love to see him back on some vet type of deal. 

The deal is Panthers have his medical files, I do not. 

I think Morgan would be open to a team friendly deal now that Shaq knows his value.

we need LB help, hes actualy more than likely the best available considering he knows the team and play book

Seeing as how we are still some time away from truly competing for anything of note we are in the stages of simply competing to develop our young roster. Let the young guys get their reps and see who sticks. As much as it might hurt to let the past go given how much we like Shaq as a person it's something that must be done. You don't see perennial playoff contenders lobbying to bring back soon to be 32 year old linebackers coming off an ACL tear. Sooner or later we've gotta start acting like a franchise that wants to contend for something before the year 2030.

That could have been the main issue. I know Morgan drafted Trevin Wallace too....

I have no insight minus pressers and beat reporters for this. I believe Shaq wants to play, more than one year too. Just he's had some big injuries, age, and wear tear. That stuff adds up fast now. 

I get that Dan and company just feel if Shaq wants to play, he will have to do that else where.....if he wants to sign a one day, Dan would be ready. 

The other deal is, before Shaq is signed, I got one question. Is he willing to play ST?? Cause if you are some #3-4 LB, you almost have to play ST... I don't know if a former 8 year starter is ready to lose brain cells on ST tackling... 

Honestly it maybe a deal where Shaq is simply not good anymore too, I dare believe it..... time and injuries get all these players tho...

Depends on the circumstances.  If we had to cut some young promising guy to keep him, then no.  But if we just need a guy for a year, bring him back.

 

Definitely bring him back for a day and let him retire a Panther if that is what he wants.  


We need roster spots for guys we are trying to develop.

Shaq is not helping us long term.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
