Potential changes to playoff seeding


Recommended Posts

Popping in for my now weekly visit to the Huddle instead of daily. I'm all for new seeding. Divisions are pointless and silly. They're based on geography. Winning a "grouping of area teams" shouldn't mean you get to make the Playoffs. The best teams need to make the Playoffs. Period. Not a fan of re-seeding after the first round though.

Also have no issues with the tush push. Man up and figure out how to stop it.

Like that NFL players will get to play for their home country, or the USA in the Olympics even if flag football is silly. One player per team per country ... plus one designated "international" player per team can play for his home country as well.

Competitiveness in divisions change. 10-15 years ago it was Cam, Brees, and Ryan in the NFCS. I can remember when the NFC West was laughable. It changes.

Divisions matter. If you want to go to the playoffs, win your division, you play 90% of the same opponents. 
 

If you get rid of the division winners mattering then just break up the divisions and let the whole conference play each other.

Gotta keep the division winners in the playoffs. If not, just do away with Conferences while you're at it.

I don't think the tush push should be banned. Maybe allow defenses to do the same. It CAN be stopped. As long as the defense can play by the same rules.

yeah, as the it currently stands....it's bologna.  If you don't want to ban it then you got to tweak the rules surrounding it.

    • 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.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • 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.
