Not sure how its comparable really.  DeBoer can't keep a locker room.  He was asking to get fired with those comments about Otter.

This. It’s apples and Oranges.  Rod never lost a locker room. Stars players clearly went to leadership and threatened to leave if they didn’t fire him. Rod is loved. DeBoer is a cancer

Hurricanes are vastly inferior to edmonton and florida and will never make a cup appearance under Rod.

Ok I’m going to put it like this. Rod doenst have top elite players like the oilers or panthers. Slavin or maybe aho are the only ones. And aho isn’t elite. Rod is making ECF with mid/good players.  Give rod Edmonton or Florida’s players and its cups.  Plural.  For a fanbase that is now spoiled, we are getting greedy and too big for our britches

RBA is the Dean Smith of hockey.

A lot of wins, a lot of trips to the post season, but little to show for it at the end of the day relative to the W-L record. And, not unlike Dean Smith, RBA won't have a superstar on this team. The closest he got was Necas, then Rantanen, and neither wanted to be here. Dean Smith preached the team approach, and even Michael Jordan averaged almost 18 ppg in Smith's system.

Mitch Marner is not the answer. Ehlers or Brock Boeser might be the better fit. And find a replacement for Orlov who has some offense (Provorov, Gavrikov, Ryan Lindgren or even Aaron Eckblad).

I'm salivating at the thought of Bennet in a Canes uniform!!

Id love him and Ekblad,

 

He fills what is IMO our biggest need a 2C the fact that hes also exactly what we need yes agreed.

Huh? Not sure if this is Dean Smith slander or not. MJ loved playing for Dean and won NPOY. And Dean had plenty of stars before him and after him. James Worthy, Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, etc. Dean won 2 nattys. The college game was different then, Dean had more star power and national championships than basically any of his peers.

Dean Smith frequently benched players when he thought their egos were taking over the game.

And all of the stars you mentioned showed out much better in the NBA  than their college careers might have indicated 

And John Wooden.

Elite players dont fit Rods system. Rod has hit his ceiling. We arent going further.

      While I agree with you in spirit my gut and my heart says I'm not falling for this again until I see consistent results across the entire upcoming season. Then I'll breathe a sigh of relief and truly feel better about the future.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      By frankw · Posted

      After some time to process and also in light of other small markets being successful and not requiring top overall picks to compete. This years finals looming large. While I readily acknowledge the league office clearly despises our franchise and has absolutely no qualms about us getting the short end of any stick in the draft lottery. The Hornets may just be doomed regardless due to their own mismanagement and inability to draft and develop legitimate playoff worthy talent. And we seemingly always pick the wrong player in the draft. I mean at this point we can even take a hard look at the 2020 draft and someone like Haliburton going pick 12 while Ball went 3rd. Did we draft the wrong guy or are we just that inept at any level of talent development or is it a mixture of both? Looks the latter right now.

      I feel we are already moving in a better direction before we even take a snap this season.  We have hope now.  People are talking about us brewing something special. Remember how dismal things were when Rhule was here?
